welcome!

If you’re looking for a photographer to capture the fun and love of your family, then you’ve come to the right place. I believe those moments are meant to be preserved as memories.

Full Session vs. Mini Session: What’s Best for Your Family?

Full Session vs. Mini Session: What’s Best for Your Family?

When you’re thinking about booking family photos, one of the first things you’ll likely wonder is, should I book a full session or a mini session? I offer both, and depending on your family’s needs and goals, one might be the perfect fit.

As a family photographer serving The Woodlands, Conroe, Spring, and Houston, I want to make sure you’re choosing the experience that suits your family best. So let’s talk about what makes each option special!


Mini Sessions – Short and Sweet!
Mini sessions are a wonderful option if you’re looking for a quick, efficient photo session that still captures beautiful memories.

Here’s why families love them:

  • They’re quick! At around 10–15 minutes, mini sessions are ideal for busy families or young kids who may not last a full hour.
  • They’re budget-friendly. Minis are a great way to get professional family photos at a lower price point.
  • They’re themed and styled. I often offer minis during spring or fall with curated locations, backdrops, or seasonal touches.
  • They’re perfect for quick updates. Just need a few beautiful images for holiday cards or a seasonal refresh? Minis are a perfect fit.

Full Sessions – More Time, More Memories
Full sessions are designed to be relaxed and flexible, giving your family space to really connect and have fun.

Here’s why full sessions might be your best bet:

  • More time, less stress. We’ll have about 30–60 minutes, which gives us time to warm up, especially for little ones who may need a few extra minutes to feel comfortable.
  • More location options. Want to shoot at a special park or your home in The Woodlands, Conroe, or Spring? Full sessions offer that flexibility.
  • More variety. With extra time, we can capture a mix of candid and posed moments, try multiple backdrops, and even do an outfit change if you’d like!
  • Great for extended families. If you’re including grandparents, cousins, or multiple households, a full session is the way to go.

No matter which you choose, I’ll guide your family every step of the way and make sure the experience is fun, easy, and full of joy. Whether you’re booking a full or a mini session, your family’s connection is the heart of every photo and I can’t wait to help you preserve those moments.

    Why You Should Book Fall Family Photos in the Summer

    Why You Should Book Fall Family Photos in the Summer

    I know it’s just warming up here in The Woodlands, but believe it or not, now is the perfect time to start thinking about your fall family photo session! Fall is one of my busiest seasons as a family photographer in The Woodlands, Houston, Conroe, and Spring. The golden light, cooler temps (finally!), and holiday card season make it one of the most popular times for family portraits.

    But here’s the thing: my fall calendar fills up so fast. If you’re dreaming of gorgeous photos with rich autumn tones and cozy outfits, booking early is the way to go!

    When you book your fall session in the summer, you:

    • Get first pick of prime dates
    • Have time to coordinate outfits stress-free
    • Avoid the last-minute holiday rush

    Whether you’re planning a full session or a fall mini, locking it in early means you’re all set when the leaves start turning.

    Ready to grab your spot with a Woodlands family photographer before they’re gone? Let’s get you on the calendar now!

      Why Summer is Perfect for Extended Family Sessions in Houston

      Why Summer is Perfect for Extended Family Sessions in Houston

      Summer brings everyone together, school’s out, travel plans are made, and it’s the perfect time for a family reunion. If you’ve been thinking about scheduling an extended family photo session in Houston or The Woodlands, summer might just be your ideal time!

      Here’s why I love photographing extended families during the summer:

      More Availability, More Flexibility
      Summer schedules tend to be a little more open, especially for families with kids in school. It’s a great time to coordinate schedules across households!

      Golden Light + Gorgeous Backdrops
      Whether we’re photographing in Spring, Conroe, The Woodlands, or Houston, the summer glow is truly unmatched. Parks like WG Jones Forest or Rob Fleming give us the space and the light to work magic.

      Built-In Family Time
      If you’ve got family visiting or a big reunion planned, why not capture those memories while everyone is already together? It’s a perfect time to create keepsakes that will last for generations.

      Perfect for Multi-Generational Portraits
      Grandparents, cousins, siblings, it’s not every day that everyone is in one place! Extended sessions allow us to capture all the combinations: full group, smaller family units, grandparents with grandkids, and more.


      Let’s take advantage of summer to document those special, once in a lifetime moments. If you’re looking for a family photographer near The Woodlands or Houston, I’d be honored to help you create lasting memories.

        With a mix of wide open spaces, rustic wooden bridges, and a charming little pond, Rob Fleming Park is ideal for playful, candid family moments.

        3. Alden Bridge Park – The Woodlands
        A tucked-away gem with a beautiful bridge, small trails, and grassy areas that photograph beautifully in the golden hour light.

        4. The Woodlands Waterway
        Perfect for a more urban, yet still lush and vibrant feel. The Waterway offers fun backdrops with water, bridges, and greenery all around.

        5. Water locations
        Pundt Park Creek and Galveston beach offer two perfect locations to beat the heat, with gorgeous lighting, beautiful sand and water!
