At Home Family Portraits – Tomball and the Woodlands

There are many reasons why you might like to have your family portraits taken at home. Maybe, like this beautiful family who I met last year for their family portraits outdoors when they were a family of three, you have a newborn baby who is just a little too young and delicate to take outside in the cold weather!  I just adore this family, they’re always so happy and peaceful and just a joy to spend some time with, and their little ones are just beautiful! New little brother joined for the family portraits this year, and the weather took a cold turn, so we moved the shoot indoors and made use of their gorgeous master bedroom for some cozy at home family portraits.

Ask me about having your family portraits taken at home, for a cozy and casual feel, and incorporate the warmth and familiarity of your house into your family pictures!

The Woodlands Photographer – Family Generations

This lovely family met with me on a beautiful sunny day for family portraits, with three generations. I love family portraits that include grandparents and grandchildren, as these are the priceless family photos we share and pass down for years to come. As a family photographer here in the Woodlands, Spring, and Conroe, it’s always nice to meet new people and get a chance to watch them have fun while they make memories!

I also really like the colours and style they chose for their family pictures, with the red and blue together with the denim. It’s classy and colourful, but still casual enough so you don’t feel too formal for your family portraits.

There is nothing like giving out Christmas cards to your family and friends with beautiful pictures of your family!

The Woodlands Family Portraits in the Park

This lovely family came to me for their first ever portrait session as a family!  We chose this pretty park in the Woodlands for the greenery and this perfect bridge, and the light was really beautiful that day. We are having such a fantastic fall for family pictures, and I’m enjoying being outdoors on location for these sessions!

We started with more formal portraits on the bridge, for traditional family pictures for holiday cards and Christmas gifts for family.

Family Portraits – The Woodlands and Tomball

This beautiful family met with me on a perfect day full of sunlight and clear skies for their family portraits here in the Woodlands nearby Tomball. We wanted to shoot a mixture of posed portraits and some fun lifestyle images of the family just being together, for some real life type family pictures. I always love these natural family pictures best, with the warmth of laughter and happy smiles. Families tend to initially request standard portraits for their large wall pieces, such as framed portraits or canvases, but most often end up choosing the more natural, less posed lifestyle shots for their living room centerpiece.

This family chose this gorgeous shot of them walking together, hand in hand and laughing, down this sunlight path surrounded by greenery for their mantle piece. This image is now a 32×48 gallery wrapped canvas in their living room, and when I delivered it to their home and saw it there on the wall, I was so pleased to provide such a beautiful piece of wall art for this family to hand down through generations.

The Woodlands Couple Photographer

This kind and loving husband contacted me about  a surprise gift  for Christmas – a gift certificate for a photography session for the two of them together! It’s a lovely gift for anyone, to tell them you love them so much you want to celebrate that love by getting portraits taken together to cherish forever. So we set up the gift certificate for him to put under the tree, and it was awesome to finally meet this amazing couple for their fall session!

They just wanted beautiful, casual portraits of the two of them together as a couple, without any fancy props or elaborate set ups — just them, just their personalities shining through, just their happy smiles. We had a great time at our session, thanks for choosing me for this wonderful and thoughtful gift for your wife!

This shot was almost a last minute decision, and it was getting pretty dark but I’m so glad we took the time to shoot it. This sums up this fun and loving couple perfectly — the motorcycle, their laid back style and their precious furbaby. I love this shot!

Family Mini Session – Photographer in the Woodlands

This session was a nice change for me, to shoot a little action on the Waterway near the canal for a family session mini shoot! We choose locations to match each family, and this lovely trio like to spend their weekends being outdoors, walking, strolling around the park. So this was a great spot for a quick session, to celebrate  little Case turning one! I love how bright and airy this setting is, with the waterfall catching light in the background on the pretty stone wall.

Happy smiling pictures of families walking together, hand in hand, are always winning shots and will be treasured for years to come. And the stairs make a nice place to sit to keep little ones still and get everyone together hugging close!

Adorable Sisters – Professional Photographer The Woodlands

Another gorgeous day for a family portrait session for this family from Spring, TX. A clear blue sky, beautiful fall light, a field of wheat coloured grasses and these adorable sisters – such a fun session!

For family portraits with little ones, I make sure to leave enough shooting time to accommodate snacks and time outs, and some cuddles with their favourite blanket or teddy bear. We’ll start with the family together, since at the beginning of the session children are often the most coooperative and a little curious, which helps get those formal shots where we want eye contact. We will move on to  mother-daughter and daddy-daughter portraits, so every child gets a special moment alone with mom and dad. They love this part of the photoshoot!  I won’t let you get away with not having a shot of the two of you together either — children love to see portraits of their parents, and walking by a portrait of their parents happy and together has been proven to help boost their self esteem and happiness!

family-photography-the-woodlands

family-portraits-the-woodlands

daddy-daughter-pictures

family-photographer-the-woodlands

mother-daughter-pictures-the-woodlands

 The kids are usually more at ease towards the end of the session, to get some individual and sibling shots. Families often worry about their little ones not cooperating, and sometimes all the naps and kisses in the world can’t make the portrait seem less scary for toddlers. With time and patience, we’ll get those family portraits you’re looking for! Some of my favourite child photographs are of the children just being themselves – and if teddy, a soother, or a comforting blanket is a part of your child’s life right now, making it a part of the portrait session (even if just to help soothe tears) may be something you’ll be thankful for years from now. I aim to capture your family, your children, as they are so you have those visual reminders in the years to come how they are NOW, while they’re little. Embrace this now, and document it forever.

Family of Boys – The Woodlands TX Portrait Photographer

Most families want their family portraits taken in spring or fall, when the weather is nice and temperate, and the flowers are in bloom or the leaves are changing towards beautiful fall colour.  This family flew in to their home town in Spring and the Woodlands for the holidays, and we were a little worried about the cold winter weather for their family portraits in January!  Chilly as it was, the winter light is really light and airy which makes for pretty photos, the sky is clear and blue, and the grass is a natural wheaten shade that looks rustic and country. Overall, it’s a really pretty look for your family photos and I rather like shooting in winter here.

This family with four  handsome boys braved a chilly but beautiful January afternoon for their photography session, and you’d never know they were cold by how natural they look in front of the camera! They struck every pose perfectly and were stylish to boot. Thanks for being such good sports!

Family Reunion The Woodlands Photographer

This family booked a family photography session for their get together around the holidays, on a beautiful crisp winter day full of sunlight and laughter. Since the family was getting together at the Woodlands Resort and Conference Center in the Woodlands, we arranged to have the family photo shoot on the resort grounds, outside by the docks and the gazebo. It was a great location for a family reunion photography session, and they knocked it out of the park with their classy outfits accented with blue.

For family event photography, where several families are getting together, I always make sure to shoot the entire family together and also to break off into small units so each family has a great photo of their own. With grandparents, it’s always great to have special shots of the grandparents with the children as well.

Family Portraits with a Lifestyle Twist – The Woodlands Photographer

When you’re shooting family portraits with the happiest little toddler, and you catch some of the best laughs,  you can’t help but smile when you see the final portraits! This little guy was so adorable, with the cutest smile and funniest expressions, it was easy to see how his parents were so laid back and relaxed for their family session. We were able to get some amazing shots of their family connection, for more of a lifestyle feel, which is harder to do with little ones who tend to shy away and take a while to come out of their shells. Not this little guy! He was grinning from ear to ear and ready to give kisses to mom and dad and pose for the camera.  This shoot really made my day!

Large Family Group Portraits in the Woodlands

I met this lovely family close to Christmas, for a family reunion portrait session. I love shooting families who are excited and happy to be back together in the Woodlands area, they always have a great energy. This family was ready for their family portraits with these beautiful cheery red accents and classic black, for a formal but stylishly fun look. The little ones surprised me with how well they posed for the camera! Such a fun family!

The family matriarch contacted me originally in early fall, to make sure her date was booked. I met with her in November, to look over the location near her home and make sure it was suitable for portraits, with sufficient light. I really enjoyed meeting her, and was looking forward to meeting the whole family.

Family Photographer in the Woodlands for Wall Canvases

The K family was definitely one of the most fun and laid back families I’ve had the pleasure to work with this year. What makes each family portrait session unique is the personalities of each family, and the energy they bring to their session, and how I use that to make personalized portraits for each client.

This family was all about having fun and laughter, and just being themselves for their portraits. After a few posed photos, we slowed things down and just let the family laugh and interact, to let their personalities shine through. I was also really happy that they brought the grandparents along for the shoot, and of course the adorable puppy!

Family Photographer in the Woodlands – Classic Portraits

This wonderful family from the Woodlands was such a breeze to photograph for their holiday portraits. Just about everything was perfect for their family session – the weather was gorgeous, the light was right, the fall colours were in full splendor, and this family styled their portraits beautifully. The navy blue is a great hue for shooting family portraits outdoors, and the accents of neutral cream and brown are the perfect match.

For family pictures, we shoot some formals with the entire family together, happy and having fun, for a great canvas or mounted print for the wall portrait. This will be the centre-piece of your home gallery set, on the wall or above the fireplace. Add in some complementary shots of the parents together, and the kids, and you have a fantastic wall cluster of canvases or framed prints.

photographers the woodlands

We’ll also take some fun portraits of the entire family, where they’re a little more lifestyle oriented, or candid. Formal portraits are fantastic for showcasing in the home, but these fun family pictures make great cards,  gifts, or collages and family albums. Kids love to see photos of their family having fun together, and laughing, and you’ll remember years from now how your family laughed together and enjoyed just being together.

Christmas and New Years Sessions in The Woodlands

This family had two series done for their holiday portraits this year! First, the super fun family photos for personal use, and just to have fabulous images from 2104, as they are now. Check out their family portrait series by CLICKING HERE.

Then, for the special images to put on their Christmas cards to send out to family and friends, we shot this series in their holiday outfits (love the red!) for special holiday themed family portraits. With my super quick turn around time, families have more than enough time to put their cards together and mail them out, or to create digital cards for emailing and posting online.

Love this family! Thank you for choosing me for your Christmas card session this holiday season!

holiday-portraits-the-woodlands

holiday-card-sessions-the-woodlands

It’s not too late! Personally, with my busy fall season, I rarely get the chance to send out cards in December. So, I send out Happy New Years cards instead, after the busy season is behind me and I have more time. I know you’re busy too! If you didn’t have time in your schedule this season for Christmas or holiday cards, you can still get some great shots to send out cards to friends and family to wish them a Happy New Year!

Child Photographer in The Woodlands – Birthday Session

This is sweet little Noah, and his mama contacted me to do a very special shoot to celebrate his third birthday. I offer short one hour “mini shoots” in Spring and the Woodlands for exactly these kind of sessions — to celebrate a milestone or just get a handful of beautiful portraits to remember this moment, this now, and how someone special in your life is at this point in time. Our children change so fast, and keeping an album of yearly pictures or a wall of portraits as they grow up is a great way to capture forever every stage of their life.

This little sweetie and his big blue eyes was full of wonder and giggles. And his blue shirt was the perfect outfit to show off those gorgeous eyes!

Relaxed and Fun Family Portraits in the Woodlands

I get all kinds of families who come to me for their family portraits, and no two families are alike. Some want classic and traditional portraits for the mantle, formal poses and elegant styling. Some want documentary style lifestyle photos of their families at home, to personalize their family sessions and to remember where they were at this time in their lives, as moments are so fleeting. And some, like this family, want to have fun and relaxed candid portraits of their family, mixed with the traditional, to celebrate the relationships we share and the fun we have as a family when we are together.

We will include some traditional family portraits, for sharing with family members (remember — Grandma always really loves that one posed photo of her beloved family together, happy and smiling at the camera, and she’ll be expecting her print!) but then we can skip around, laugh and run, and really get down to the serious business of enjoying this day together making beautiful family portraits that really capture YOU as you truly are. For this family, that was bright, happy and lots of smiles!

top-photographer-the-woodlands

children-photographer-in-the-woodlands

These types of family sessions make great collages and albums, since we shoot for family combinations having fun, dancing, snuggling, playing games and just enjoying being together.

fun-family-portraits-the-woodlands

We’ll take each child separately, and capture some beautiful portraits that match each child’s personality.  I love to include photos that tell the entire story of each child, from the fun and perky shots to the serene and lovely – the girl with her eyes closed, dreaming. The sweet boy who offers me a flower. The little one with her bright eyes and big smile.

the-woodlands-family-portraits

And of course, photos of all the kids together. Look, ma! No fighting!

The Heart of the Family – The Woodlands Photographer

When you’re preparing to have your family portraits done this year, there’s a lot of questions that may be running through your mind and a lot of details you have to consider. Pulling the wardrobe together. Checking your schedule to make sure the kids don’t have soccer practice the day of the session.  Do you want to have a fun lifestyle session to make into an album, or posed formal family portraits for the wall? You can rest assured I’ll help you through it. We’ll go over all these details in our consultation, so you can be sure that on the day of the family portrait session you’ll be fully confidant that you are prepared and ready for some fun.

You already know you want some special family portraits, of everyone together. You definitely have thought about all the great shots we’ll get of the kids, both individually and together. Now it’s time to think about you! One thing you may not have really considered is getting some great portraits of you and your spouse together.

The heart of the family is you. The parents. You are who your children look up to with love every day for guidance and support. And kids love to see their parents together! This is why I take the time to get some beautiful couple portraits of the two of you together, just like you did for your engagement portraits and your wedding photos. You’ll be glad to have those portraits through the years, as you grow old together. As we celebrate the family, celebrate your love too.

photographer-the-woodlands

Take a look at just a few of the amazing parents I’ve had the opportunity to photograph this year! You can feel the love between the them. And every time they look at these photos, they’ll be reminded of how it all began – with the love of two people, who came together and built a beautiful family.

Holiday Portrait Sessions – Spring, Conroe and the Woodlands TX

I welcomed back this wonderful family for their annual family portraits, and I love seeing how my littlest clients have grown from year to year! This year for their holiday family pictures they chose this gorgeous fall colour palette of purples and magentas, which always looks amazing against the deep rich hue of the early fall foliage. When clients ask, “What should I wear for our fall family photos?” this is a colour I always recommend, as a jewel tone that really pops!

As always, for your family portraits I shoot the entire family together for that coveted fantastic photo of everyone happy and together, for the wall above the fireplace. I won’t let you forget to get a couple portrait of just the two of you either! Thank you to this fabulous family for choosing me again for their yearly fall family photos here in the Woodlands!

FERGUSON03

the-woodlands-family-photographer

With the “perfect shot” done, then we move about for individual shots of the kids, together and by themselves. Kids are so much fun to work with, with their spontaneous genuine smiles and natural curiosity. I love to capture the happiness of children as well as their inner quiet souls, the sides of them we as parents see inside their gentle hearts in unguarded moments.

spring-tx-children-photographer

the-woodlands-holiday-portraits-children

sisters-portraits-the-woodlands

We’ll shoot the family portraits again, with a little change of location, for variety and a more casual feel. These make great album portraits, when put together. Family portraits can be really fun and it’s a great chance to hang out together, laughing and smiling, and celebrate what makes you a loving family!

The Woodlands Photographer – Family Portraits

A fun and happy family to share today! I shot these family portraits for Dallas wedding photographer Asapphire Photography, an early  morning shoot since she had a long drive back home ahead of her from the Woodlands!

Such a fabulous family and a great day for family photos since it was a little cooler at sunrise. As a photographer, she understood exactly the need to get great flattering light and she chose the perfect outfits to express their fun but sophisticated style – beautiful pops of colour that look amazing on them. We shot in two locations close together, with an outfit change to go from formal in front of the deep wood and stone, to casual in the more natural woodsy setting. I laughed so much at this session, and had a lot of silly moments with five year old Miss M who rocked the poses!

As always, I’m so grateful when families choose me as a their family photographer and let me spend a few hours making beautiful photos of them. I had a great time with this family!
