Session Info

Session Information

Our portrait sessions are one of a kind, tailored to your family in a way that only custom portraiture can.  We start by discussing your family or child's personality and style to find the perfect locations, suggest the best clothing choices and to prepare for the a fabulous portrait session possible before I ever click the shutter.  Capturing the true essence of your family is what I love most about being able to freely photograph you in a relaxed setting.

After collectively deciding the best route for your custom session, we will choose a date and time keeping in mind your schedule along with the best time to photograph.  Sessions are typically scheduled one to two hours before sunset and about an hour after sunrise, but we can make adjustments to our schedule when necessary.  To keep my business as personalized as possible, I only schedule sessions on Saturdays and Sundays and only a very limited amount of sessions.  Establishing a fantastic relationship with my clients means so much more to me than having a mile-long client list.  Because of this, sessions are typically scheduled 1-2 months in advance, so please contact me as soon as you are thinking about having your session.

Once you arrive at our predetermined place, we will take some time for your children to get to know me and my camera (which I often let the children name.)  I understand that family portraits can be stressful and that we, as parents, carry the pressure and hope for everything to go perfectly.  However, not only it is not practical to have those expectations, it puts undue stress on the children sometimes causing them to not be on their best behavior.  If Scotty needs to run a bit in the middle of the session or if that headband really just needs to come out of Sara's hair, its ok!  Some of the best portraits I have had the pleasure in taking are not perfect, not every hair is in the right place, clothing may not be laying perfectly, but what makes the portrait perfect is when you see the love of a family, or the joy in a child's eyes coming through in the photograph.   We will take time to play, laugh and have fun.  We will also throw in some posed shots to make sure that you have those great portraits for Grandma.

About two weeks after we meet to create your portraits, we will set up a view&choose session.  I will come to your home (within 30 miles of Katy), after bed time, so we don't have little ones to worry about, and we will start with a video showcasing the images from your session.  From there we will discuss options for displaying your favorite images as well as looking at some samples provided from the fabulous vendors I work with.  We will tailor your portraits to fit your life, accessorizing your home with custom canvas collages and desk prints for dad's office.

Two to three weeks following the view&choose session your portraits will arrive and I will hand deliver them to those residing in the Katy area.
