Here’s how it works (without the stress):
First, we’ll chat about your family and what’s most important to capture right now. I’ll guide you on wardrobe, location, and artwork so you don’t have to guess.

New to family photos? Don’t worry—I’ll send you quick prep emails with wardrobe tips, posing advice, and ways to keep everyone relaxed. By the time session day arrives, you’ll feel comfortable and ready to just enjoy your people while I handle the rest.

Afterward, I’ll edit your images and deliver a private gallery within 10–14 business days. You’ll get to download all your photos and choose your favorite artwork right away—no extra steps, no DIY required.

✨ Simple. Stress-free. Done for you. ✨

What do you think...

Locations you won’t find on Google.
I’ve built a network of private farms, fields, and hidden gems—so you’re not stuck in crowded parks or the same old Houston spots. Dog-friendly? Handicap Accessible? Interactive for kids? I got you! I’ll find the perfect backdrop just for your family based on your needs.

Your memories, made into art.
I don’t just hand you files and disappear. From curated print options to custom wall design, I guide you every step—so your photos become museum-quality heirlooms you’ll enjoy every day. And yes, both prints and digitals are always included.

Wondering about an Extended Family Session? 

Think grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and all the grandkids piled in—capturing the people who make your family tree so full. 

My process is unlike any other—I’ve spent years making it easy for you. Extended family sessions bring everyone together—

Extended Family Sessions start at $2400
