Add on to your digital Collections for your family and senior sessions with customizable print packages! To get exactly the combination of sizes you need, my clients can purchase sets of prints at a special price.
Choose from several print packages, such as the ever popular set of 5 gift prints. Choose the same 5 sizes or choose 5 different print sizes – sets of wallets, 5×7 or 8×10 — no restrictions on size combinations!
If you need wallet size prints, pick up a value package of wallet prints for senior announcements or for sharing with family. I also offer several larger family packages that include small prints for framing and sharing, and a larger print for the wall.
When it comes to preserving your family photos, nothing beats a beautiful print framed or mounted, to last generations. #printsareforever
Family reunions and anniversary parties are wonderful opportunities to get updated family portraits taken with everyone together. Everyone is having fun, catching up on family news, and dressed up for the special event, and it’s easy to catch the family laughter and connection! This large family was a lot of fun to photograph at their family reunion, celebrating a very special anniversary. You could just see how they enjoyed being together as a family!

Being a family photographer in the Woodlands and Spring area means I get to meet some fantastic families for their family pictures, like this beautiful family full of warmth. We met as part of an extended family session, and did breakouts with each family unit, to make sure each family gets their own special family portraits. I love the poses here, with them holding hands, you can just feel their connection and love!

You are excited to book a photographer. You are crazy excited to get those beautiful portraits of your family. You’re beyond excited to get those prints back to hang on your wall. Then you start to realize … it’s coming soon. And you have no idea how you are going to survive!
You’ve seen beautiful, happy, smiling photos of other families and their kids, and think “That will never be us!”. I’m here to tell you — it *will* be you *if* you follow a few simple steps that lead to success!
TRUST YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER Straight out of the gate, this is your first step, full stop. From the moment you arrive at the location, let your photographer take the lead. Let her guide you and the kids into natural poses. Let her grab the children’s attention. Let her follow the kids when they start to run. Those make great shots! Trust that she is a pro, and knows how to handle it. Let her make the children laugh, to get real, authentic emotions from them.
TIME IT RIGHT This starts from the night before the shoot. Have outfits laid out ready, no morning rush. Have kids sleep and wake up on time (no oversleeping!). Have a timely breakfast and lunch, with snacks, to keep the crankiness away. Keep everything normal, so they’re less likely to skip naps. And make sure your photoshoot is scheduled for when the kids are at their happiest – not hungry or tired
ABOUT THOSE SNACKS Be *very* careful when it comes to snacks and bribes. Do not start out immediately bribing your child with candy or promises of fun later. Let the photographer use her tricks and talent, and save the bribes for truly desperate moments. Your photographer will let you know when it’s time to pull out the big guns. And make sure those snacks don’t leave stains and crumbs – sugar free gummy bears and pretzels are better choices than cheesy crackers and ice cream.
KEEP CLOTHING AND PROPS SIMPLE You don’t need a lot of props to make a family photoshoot special and unique. In fact, less is definitely better and will look less dated as time goes by. Pick something special to your family, like an heirloom blanket, and ditch the moustaches-on-a-stick/theme-outfits/insert-trend-here for more authentic photos of you as you are. Coordinate your outfits into a colour family (think shades of blue and purple, or everyone in neutrals) instead of matching outfits for everyone.
BE OKAY WITH LESS THAN THEIR BEST BEHAVIOUR For many parents, the end goal of the session is the frame worthy shot of the family, and children, smiling happily into the camera while everyone hugs in bliss. It’s a gorgeous shot. But it’s not the only, or even the *best* shot, of your family. If the happy posed shot isn’t happening, just let it go. Embrace the beauty of the unposed shots. It’s far better to have happy shots of everyone running or walking together, than stress out the fam and get miserable shots of everyone staring glumly into the camera. This is about YOU too. Just have fun with it, and we’ll naturally get great shots!

If you’re looking for a family photographer here in the Woodlands, you’ve probably done a lot of research and are ready to book and get excited about your family portraits! On the big day, these are the 5 essential, absolute “must have” portraits that you will want to get from your family photoshoot. These pictures are the necessary shots you need to have a well rounded family session, to tell the story of your family.
PORTRAITS OF THE WHOLE FAMILY TOGETHER, SMILING Your family photoshoot should be a really fun event! Everyone will be excited, happy, smiling, and having fun hugging and laughing together. These are the beautiful moments that you absolutely must capture, the carefree “being you” moments that show our family unity.
EACH PARENT ALONE WITH THE CHILDREN Each parent should have their photos taken with all the children AND with each child individually. Children love to see photos of themselves with their parents, and nothing is more special to them than a framed photo of their mom and dad hugging them, on display where they can see it every day. Take a photo with each child, and have them printed for the children’s rooms!
EACH INDIVIDUAL CHILD, ALONE Celebrate the unique character and personality of each child by letting her get some one-on-one time with the photographer! Kids love the freedom and the attention, and they’ll give you all kinds of fun, serious, silly, and downright beautiful looks when they have the stage to themselves. Don’t force them to smile – trust the photographer to draw their smiles out naturally!
ALL THE CHILDREN TOGETHER The shot we’re all hoping will lead to more smiles and laughs, than shoves and tears! Really, kids to love to play with their siblings, so let them play! Get them smiling and in no time you’ll have that one great shot of them looking at the camera, all smiles. This is the photo you’ll be sharing on Facebook later!
THE TWO OF YOU, TOGETHER, THE FOUNDATION OF THE FAMILY This family all started with you, and the love you share. Don’t even think about walking away from your family photoshoot before you get an updated shot of you two lovebirds, the rock upon which your family love is built.

I really love being a family photographer here in the Woodlands, where I get the chance to meet so many wonderful families for their family portraits!
This well dressed family was part of an extended family session, and we broke into groups to photograph each family unit and each child. This family had such a great sense of style, and we had a beautiful day for family pictures with sunshine and even temperatures.
Their styling is a perfect “how to do it right” when planning your family portraits. Their outfits coordinate, without being too “matchy”, and the hues compliment the environment they chose for the backdrop – rich colours, perfect for the greenery and flowers, and portrait ready without being too formal, with button ups in checkered flannel.
