Fun Mini Sessions for Families – The Woodlands and Spring, TX

An hour together taking family pictures is fun and a memorable experience but sometimes we don’t need a full hour hour session. Maybe you’ve just recently had family portraits done and want to celebrate a milestone, or a mini session is more in the budget. My business recognizes that not everyone wants to spend a lot of time and money for a full gallery of pictures, when just a few really great ones at an affordable price is a great option!

Women in Business – Writers and Bloggers

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet these two writers, and long time friends, to photograph profile photos and website images for their upcoming project on women in the workforce.

The Right Portrait for Linked In – The Woodlands Headshots

Choosing the right photograph to represent yourself and your business on takes time and some research. If you work for yourself, and want to add a headshot to your About me page or profile section, you’ll have to know the dimensions that your website needs.

For social media, usually a landscape orientation shot works best so if you want to crop square, such as for Instagram or your Facebook profile page, it will easily chop the sides off without affecting your heads/body/hair. It also helps for the quirky Linked In profile photo – that odd circular slot that makes it difficult to find the right shot.

I’ll work with you so we know exactly what we’re shooting for. For Linked In, we photographed this gentleman in landscape, to easily transform it into a circular slot.

Senior Minis – The Woodlands Senior Photographer

The full pomp and circumstance for senior portraits is fun and an amazing experience…but let’s face it, it’s not for everyone. Senior boys, and many girls as well, don’t need a full 2.5 hour session, with 50+ images, and lots of prints and products. So what are some benefits of a mini session?

WEEKDAY SESSIONS
If you have a very busy schedule, and don’t have a weekend free I offer weekday mini sessions during peak seasons. 

YOU’RE JUST NOT INTO PHOTOSHOOTS
Yeah, it’s not for everyone! Not everyone is a selfie fan, filling their Insta with pictures. But your mom begs for some great photos of you as keepsakes, and your grandma is really looking forward to her 8×10 for her wall. You gotta do it, so let’s make it as painless as possible!

JUST THE DIGITALS, PLEASE
My full sessions come with tons of great perks, like mobile apps, print credits, and fun products for your walls. Does everyone need that? Not always. The minis give you some amazing digital pictures, without all the extras that are not on your radar.

COST EFFECTIVE
It’s a huge consideration, the cost of your senior portraits. These investments are worth it for quality photographs and keepsakes. But my business recognizes that not everyone wants to spend a lot on senior pictures with prom, graduation, and university around the corner. Enter the mini session! A cost effective way to get some amazing Insta worthy shots of you, without the price tag.

I offer TWO mini sessions – the classic digital only and the upgrade, that also includes print credits so grandma can get her 8×10! Click here to check out what I offer seniors, with two full session and two mini session senior portrait options!

The 5 Essential Steps to Surviving a Family Photoshoot – The Woodlands Photographer

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!

Plan the Perfect Surprise Proposal with Your Photographer – The Woodlands Engagements

Are you planning the ultimate surprise for your girlfriend or boyfriend – a proposal!? This is a HUGE moment and you want everything to be absolutely perfect. From the setting, to the set up, to capturing the exact moment for sharing with family and friends, it has to be planned perfectly. When hiring a photographer to photograph the big moment, here are some very important things to consider, how to plan, and questions to ask.

EXPERIENCE
Has the photographer ever photographed a proposal before? Ask to see examples of their work, to be sure they’re capturing the moment the way you want/expect. Are they going to be able to know where exactly to stand, and have the right equipment? An experienced photographer can read the moment, and be ready to shoot when the time is right. Take the advice of your photographer on the best place to stand, so you get the best possible shots.

LOCATION
Choosing the right location at the right time of day is key, because you want to be able to share photographs that are not only emotional (content) but beautiful (professionally framed and shot). Be sure your photographer knows *exactly* what each location you are considering looks like at different hours of the day.

Too much sunshine at noon? Then consider moving the location, or the time of day to later in the evening for better light. Too crowded in the evening? Maybe shoot earlier, and avoid the evening crowd. Make sure your photographer knows this location well, and it is an appropriate setting to pop the question, and that it makes sense for you to be there. A spot near restaurants makes sense, as a cover for why you’re there all dressed up. Ask your photographer for the best possible locations, without distractions, that will have good light at the time you want to propose.

SET UP
If you choose a more quiet location such as a park, you can set up a little surprise before hand. I’ve had clients use signs, a picnic basket with champagne, a trail of of rose petals (careful of wind!), bouquets of flowers, and balloons to mark the spot.

Your photographer should be there before you, and can help make sure the spot doesn’t get spoiled by passersby or the wind. You want it perfect for when your intended sees it! Make sure to ask your photographer if they can help secure the location before hand, and be there early.

A RUSE
You want the proposal to be a surprise, so you’ll need some help with the ruse! Enlist the help of your family and friends, to keep your soon-to-be-fiance in the dark.

She’ll want her hands looking Instagram ready, so have a sister or friend take her out for a manicure. Book a restaurant, so she’ll have a reason to dress up with make up. You could also say you booked a photographer for birthday/holiday/anniversay/V-Day photos, and this helps explain why there is a photographer waiting at the spot! Or your photographer can discretely hide, and then pop out when the moment arrives.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT PHOTO PACKAGE
There are many different kinds of sessions that photographers offer. Make sure the session package you are choosing will get you enough photos to actually have a good sense of the event.

Most photographers offer full sessions (usually $750-$1200) with a lot of digital images, as well as print options. Some also offer mini sessions for under $400 – but watch the fine print to see how many photos you get. Some offer as little as 3 digital images for that price point.

I offer a perfect little mini session that gives you great coverage of this exciting event, for a lower price point than full sessions. Click here to check out my Mini Session Deal!

The 5 Essential Photos From Your Family Session – The Woodlands Photographer

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.
