This local author contacted me for updated headshots months ago, and the weather has finally cooperated with us to go outdoors on location to do her photoshoot. We were looking for several different angles to get a variety to choose from for promotional images for her new book coming out this week. I like to use natural light and soft flattering lighting to bring out the beauty in my clients, and we found a few little pockets of nice light in her home garden.

Congratulations Barbara on the release of your latest work, and I wish you much success!

There are so many sides of you. Capture them all in your senior photography session.

A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

Fall is a great time of year for outdoor on location photography, and just in time to get great family photographs for holiday cards! I met this family for a mini session in Spring, TX for a fun session, and we captured some great images of everyone together and portraits of the children – and a few couple portraits as well! This family was so energetic and brimming with life, it was a joy to be their photographer and watch them interact.

Do you have a little dancer in your family?  Has someone recently graduated or won a major award and you want to commemorate the moment? A Momento Session with Shannon Stroubakis, premiere photographer for family portraits, high school senior photography and children’s portraiture, is a perfect way to get photographs of this time in your life that you won’t want to forget.  When all you need is just a few images to remember this special occasion forever, a Momento Session is a fun way to get a forever keepsake.

Dancing is the poetry of the foot.

When it comes time to do your family portraits, it’s important to remember the details. Time passes quickly, and it’s easy to forget how tiny a child’s hand once was. Or the delicate sweep of eyelashes brushing across a cheek. Little toes grow into Daddy’s big shoes all too quickly. And one day you’ll cherish the simple but moving image of your mother holding your daughter’s hand, as a testament to a love that crosses generations.

Grandchildren are the dots that connect the lines from generation to generation.

This month truly has been all about families! I love to do photography sessions on location, outdoors in The Woodlands, where families can have fun, relax and interact together for natural looking portraits. This family was so much fun to meet for their fall mini session, and you can feel the love between them!

Just a quick little mini session with good friends! We’re enjoying some beautiful weather here in Spring, TX and it’s perfect for outdoor portraiture. And with these two cute little girls, it was a fun and easy little mini session!

How far is far? How high is high?
We’ll never know, until we try. 

One of the great joys of being a photographer for children is capturing each person’s unique personality. When I heard about this spritely little man and his many talents, I couldn’t wait for our portrait session in the Woodlands.
“A” could be for animated, ambitious, alive and affectionate — all words that describe this six year old piano playing, golf club swinging charmer! Thank you to Ashtin and his family for letting me capture his enthusiasm and his great smile!
