Sammy's 5 year old portraits! The Woodlands Child Photography

Sammy I have known her whole life! I photographed her parents wedding in Ohio and then they moved down to Houston right after we did so now I get to photograph her again!!! She is a ham and loves to have her photo taken. I always have fun with her and we have a special relationship after so many years so she looks forward to the photos and kind of listens like an adult now:)

I love photographing kids but everyone who photographs kids knows that sometimes it is work to get them to look in the right direction and smile or not cry or be cute but not turn around or not do the opposite of what I try to tell them...it always has rewarding results though. I love photographing kids and playing with them during the sessions.

Julia and Nick Engagement Photos on the MOST WINDY day of the year!

I know you can't tell from the photos but this was the windiest day of the year down at Kemah...

























Wow! Julia and Nick had been trying to get their engagement session done with me for months and we finally met at Kemah Boardwalk during the windiest day of the year I think! Luckily it was also the coolest day so far and I actually felt cold at one point!

They are from New York but moved for work to Houston. Nick has been an ex-patriot for the past year and a half working in Brazil so it was very hard to schedule their engagement session. Then I had surgery and had to cancel with them and luckily we were able to meet finally!

We all had a fun time taking their photos. I learned my lesson taking photos on a twisty carnival ride! Ouch! I felt sick for the rest of the night but the photos are fun! It's great to take non traditional engagement photos and goof around!

The Lathrop Family-The Woodlands Family Portraits and Baby Photography


The Lathrops have a new 4 month old baby girl and they had me come to their home to photograph them. It was a bit hot and humid on their front porch so we didn't stay there long. Luckily they have the most adorable nursery for their daughter that is themed with purple, green and butterflies. It's so photogenic that is was the perfect location for photos. I brought my studio lights to make up for the lack of light and they worked out perfectly.

This is grandma who came to be a part of picture day. She got Parker to smile lots when she was holding her.





Raven and Parker make for a happy dad - they are both beautiful!






This is my favorite family portrait.

Baby dreams...
