Updated Family Portraits – The Woodlands Family Photographer

I shot family portraits for this family 3 years ago, back when the boys were just finishing up high school and moving onto college. Now, 3 years later, they’re all in college, graduated and starting new, exciting careers and making new families of their own! So this time, we had two wonderful additions to the family pictures – a new wife and girlfriend (and a dog!). Again, we were looking for a wall portrait of all the family together, some couple portraits, and individual black and white pictures of the siblings for a wall collage. It was great to see this family again! Best of luck to them as they start new things!

East Shore Family – The Woodlands

I had the great pleasure of taking family portraits for this young family, on a gorgeous day with a beautiful sunset. We started out in the open field with the brilliant sky behind us for some wide angle, fun family portraits. Then we moved on to the pretty white gates at East Shore, and finished up in the grass for some individual portraits of the children. What a great, fun family and I love all their pictures – so happy and smiling!

Choosing Your Wall Portrait Size, Style and Format: The Woodlands Portrait Photographer

The family portrait is an important investment, so it’s essential to ensure you have carefully considered the overall look, style and proportion for the final piece. When your family, senior, engagement or maternity portrait session is completed, I invite clients for an in person Viewing Appointment so I can personally help you choose the perfect size, ratio and medium for your wall portrait. I’ll show you samples of the products I offer, so you can inspect and touch the products yourself.

For gallery wrapped canvases, these come ready to hang and you do not need to frame them. Metals are designed to be hung without a frame to show off the superior gloss, and the sturdy waterproof and UV resistant design means you don’t have to worry about sun or water damage. For photographic prints I offer complimentary styrene mounting so you can mount your portrait on the wall without a frame, and it’s thin enough to put in wall frames.  Here is a comparison of a senior portrait from a session in the Woodlands.

WITH FRAMES

OPTION 1:  By using a larger frame, you can highlight your wall portrait with accent matting around a smaller size print. The portrait keeps  it’s original ratio and composition intact with matching coloured mat before being inserted into a  frame. The matted frame means you don’t have to crop the original shot. There is a wide variety of colors and styles to choose from, for custom or traditional matted frames.

matting-8x12

 

OPTION 2: Without matting. This option zooms in larger on the image, but crops out some of the background and the subject.

 

framed-16x20

WITHOUT FRAMES

 

OPTION 1: A mounted print, metal or canvas without the frame. The traditional camera ratio for older cameras was 4:5, which created the infamous 8×10 desk print. As a wall portrait, your image could be anything from a 16×20 to a 32×40 or larger. Since the camera shoots at a 2:3 ratio, this crops your image.

 

crop-16x20

OPTION 2: A mounted print, metal or canvas without the frame, left in it’s original composition and ratio. This size works well for image of standing subjects, where you want to keep the surrounding environment. For this image, it’s the best choice for this particular image to keep the beautiful field around her.

Enchanted Maternity – The Woodlands Maternity Photographer

I met this beautiful couple a few years ago, when they chose me to be their engagement photographer. Check out their engagement portraits here!  And now, just a few years later, I got a wonderful call – they’re expecting TWINS! This mama-to-be braved soaring heat, stifling humidity, the threat of rain and clouds of hungry mosquitoes to make her dream maternity photo session happen. With this enchanting flowing tulle skirt and lace top, in a field under the open sky, this maternity portrait session was charming and so pretty, with all the feminine touches. So happy to see them again, I wish them the best of luck and I hope to see them again soon!

Family Portraits – The Woodlands Family Photographer

This lovely family commissioned me for family portraits to celebrate mom’s birthday, and they had such a lovely backyard that we used it as a backdrop for their family pictures! It was wonderful to meet this family, to celebrate with them.

Family Photographer in the Woodlands in the Park

We had a lovely afternoon for these family portraits in the park, with just the right mix of sunlight and cloudy skies to make for beautiful light! This family was styled to perfection too – blue and peach are two colours that photograph beautifully and they mixed up the shades enough to make their colour palette more complimentary. I just loved the happy faces of the children, they were so cooperative for the family photoshoot, which made my  job so easy!  Great family fun!

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.

The Woodlands Photographer – End of Year 2015

I want to say a HUGE thank you to all my clients from 2015 for making it a wonderful year full of fun sessions! I remember each and every one of you, and I really enjoyed meeting all of you and sharing some laughs while we made beautiful pictures! I put together some collages to celebrate all the fantastic faces I had the good luck and opportunity to meet this past year  — from high school seniors, to corporate executives, to tiny little newborns, and all the families inbetween! Thank you so much for making my job so easy and for allowing me to capture all these moments. I hope you cherish your portraits forever, and whenever you reach for your photo album or see that big canvas on the wall with the faces of the people you love the best, that it brings you much joy.

I look forward to seeing many of you again, and to meeting new faces this year! Cheers!

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!

High School Senior Portraits – Show Your Uni Pride

It’s your senior year, a time to think about how you got to where you are and also to dream big about the future. When it comes to your senior portraits, you want to pictures to show you as you are now, but also all the amazing things you have to look forward to! So for your senior pictures, bring something along to represent your present accomplishments, such as your high school Letterman jacket or your class ring. And then bring something to represent your upcoming years as a University or College undergrad, or a special trip or internship you have planned. Here’s a few ideas on how to incorporate your upcoming endeavours into your senior portrait session!

WEAR YOUR COLOURS

Are you off to Texas State? Bring some clothing with maroon and gold, to signify where you’ll be at school next year. Or burnt orange and white if you’re off to UT.  This gorgeous young lady is on her way in September to Johns Hopkins University, where she received early acceptance for Pre Med.   Their colours include Columbia blue and she looks amazing in their colours!

what-to-wear-senior-pictures

Can you guess where this pretty senior will be attending? Those are Baylor colours!!

beautiful-senior-portarits-in-texas

BRING A SIGN BOARD

A great DIY project for your upcoming senior photos is to make your own sign board! You can use a chalk board, or make your own poster. The great thing about making your own is that you get to choose the slogan, and be more creative! This gorgeous senior is proud to be Bama Bound!

the-woodlands-senior-portraits

BANNERS AND PENNANTS

With your university acceptance package, you often get a complimentary pennant or banner for you to display, to kick off the school pride.  Get your hands on a school pennant from your chosen University, and hold it up! This beauty was all smiles with her banner for Texas A&M, she’s ready to be an Aggie! Gig ’em!!

high-school-senior-pictures-spring-tx

 

INCORPORATE PATTERNS AND ITEMS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR SCHOOL

This stunning senior is excited to be off to Alabama, and brought not just a school pennant but wore this adorable hounds-tooth patterned dress. Everyone knows hounds-tooth goes with Crimson Tide!

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!

This mom went home with six gorgeous large wall canvases to decorate her home with the faces of the ones she loves most. We designed a trio of wall hangings for the common room, with one of the family large in the middle and smaller ones of the boys and the parents on the sides, for a 3D effect.
