Photographer in the Woodlands, Spring and Conroe TX
Congratulations to these brothers and sister who are all graduating from high school! We shot their cap and gown graduation portraits on a beautiful sunny day in the park. Graduation cap and gown portraits make for the perfect print to include in your senior graduation announcements. These siblings will have their cap and gown prints included in the envelope with their graduation announcement, so friends and family can have a keepsake of their achievement. Well done and good luck in the future!
This golden glowing light is the most beautiful setting for a senior portrait session in the Woodlands, for natural portraits outdoors. This is the beautiful golden hour we wait for, at the end of the session, to surround you with a gorgeous glow for your senior pictures! This senior chose one of the most photogenic colours as well – blue for the first part of her session and shades of fuchsia and raspberry for this latter half of her senior pictures. It matches the greenery perfectly, and is a beautiful tone for your senior portraits.

The day of your senior photoshoot is going to be quite busy, so make sure you don’t forget the essentials! Before you head out for your complimentary professional make up application appointment, make sure to pack up these important items into the car:
Now you’re all set for your photoshoot, and ready to go!
Custom designed senior and graduation announcements are the perfect way to get exactly what you want, in the style you want, to get your message to your friends and family. I work with seniors and parents to choose the best size, style, and design for your needs. Flat cards, in either 5×5 or 5×7 size, are a cost effective option. Or you can choose a more elaborate 5×5 or 5×7 trifold card, to add more images and text. All announcements come in packs of 25, and include envelopes. There are dozens of press paper card stock options, from environmentally friendly recycled eco-matte to luxuriant enhanced linen or felt textured paper. I have swatches in my office, to show you exactly how these press papers look and feel.
Simple flat cards highlight a few of your fave shots, with a small space on the front or back for the main text.
Trifold cards allow you to put more images and text, and more creativity when designing. Depending on if your card is a simple grad announcement, or a party invitation, your design can include the senior’s name, high school information, date of graduation or party, the University or College the student will be attending in the fall with the chosen major, and any specific notes your friends and family would need to know for the grad party.
If you have a favourite expression, poem or quote you can also include that text into the announcements to further personalize your grad cards.
Everything just came together beautifully for this senior session in the Woodlands and Spring. The weather, the gorgeous flowers, her perfectly styled wardrobe with props, and that glowing sun shining down at the golden hour. This senior session was a dream to photograph, and came out like a fairy tale!

This beautiful senior had a fantastic sunny day for her senior portraits in the Woodlands. We started out with an urban set, then moved to the park for the second half of her session to capture the gorgeous warm golden light near sunset. I love the amazing colour that came through for her senior pictures!

I’m really loving this new trend for seniors, taking their portraits out of the grass and into the streets! The urban look is so filled with potential for colour, shapes, shadows, and architectural elements like windows, stairs, and metal. Adding some colourful clothes and this stylish black leather jacket, and you have a perfect senior session in the Woodlands with a chic urban edge! This is the first half of this senior session, before we moved to another Woodlands location for the rest!

This lovely young lady just graduated college, so to celebrate her shiny new diploma she commissioned me to take some beautiful portraits of her to share with friends and family! We included some props to show off her huge accomplishment, like her graduation cap, diploma, and textbooks that were important to her field of study. I had a great time with this college grad, and we made sure to take some headshot style pictures to use for her social media and employment profile.

For the second half of this Lufkin senior’s session, we left the shopping district featured in the first half of her session to go out into the park among the greenery. We were hoping to catch some gorgeous golden light on the leaves, as a change of pace from shooting around the shops and market street of her first location. And we found it! Her beautiful and airy white dress was the perfect compliment to the natural environment in the park. We also made sure to shoot a few in her cap and gown, for graduation announcements. And of course, with her Aggie banner, so she can announce to the world where she will be matriculating next year!

This gorgeous senior came all the way from Lufkin for her senior portraits, and we had a lot of fun shooting around the shopping district for some fun, colourful urban senior portraits! This is the first half of her senior session, in the more urban style location before we moved out into the park.
I really love shooting around the streets, in front of the shops, under the terraces and on the staircases, using reflective surfaces like the black stone and windows to add some interest! It’s a nice, fast change of pace from the leisurely shoots in the field, adding a bit of glitz and glamour to your senior shoot if you have more of an urban inspired personality! Stay tuned for more from this senior’s portrait session!

For the second part of this senior session, we had the most beautiful light in the field! This senior has a very pretty, feminine personal style (she told me she LOVES bows!) so the overall style, props and poses were cute and girly to match her adorable smile. This session was all soft colours, lace and billowy dresses, natural soft light and sunshine, and this pretty little lace umbrella I brought for the session for her to pose with. She was a natural with her big blue eyes and delicate posing! So many of the images from her senior session ended up in prints, as portraits and in her senior announcements. I’m always pleased to see beautiful client images come to life in prints and products!

For the second half of this senior session in the Woodlands, this Woodlands High School senior brought this gorgeous peach dress with a lace overlay for pretty portraits in the spring flowers. She brought along this special family quilt, to personalize her senior session with personal items, which is always a nice touch for your portrait session! She also wanted to take headshots and a full length portrait for her for rushing for sorority at her chosen university, so we set aside some time to make sure she had some gorgeous pictures for submission. And finally, a few shots with her school ring as a keepsake to remember her accomplishments senior year. This session was full of special items and moments!

This gorgeous senior session is one of my all time favourites, for the amazing light we had during her senior session and the perfect styling! This Woodlands senior had the fantastic luck to have a gorgeous day for her senior portraits, with the golden sun glowing at sundown and all the flowers recently in bloom, adding up to a pretty romantic setting to match her dress! Bringing along a few accessories, like this pretty white spring hat, adds more variety to your session and some fashion flair.

The second half of this senior’s session was full of beautiful golden sunlight, with flowers in the field. The first half of her session was more fun and dramatic, so for the second half she chose some pretty, girly outfits to match the field location in spring colours. The red dress is perfect against the greenery, and the blue sundress was the special highlight outfit of her session, a touch of boho for her senior portraits with a carefree vibe. It all came together for a perfect spring senior session!

This beautiful senior chose a natural field location for the second half of her senior portraits, after shooting some more urban and dramatic shots around the Woodlands area streets and squares. It’s always nice to have a lot of variety in your senior portraits, from different locations to outfit changes, which is why I encourage you bring as many outfits as you can fit into your senior session!
Blue is a colour I always recommend, it photographs beautifully and matches a natural location outdoors. Like this beautiful blue spring dress! Peach and coral also photograph and match a field location really well, like this senior’s beautiful vintage inspired blouse.

For the second half of this beautiful senior’s session, we had the most amazing light – the kind a photographer just dreams of- at golden hour. Beautiful, glowing light on the field made for some stunning senior portraits for this Woodlands High School grad, and her outfit was perfectly matched for the location! See the first part of her senior session HERE, around the Woodlands parks and waterway.
I had a great time shooting her senior pictures!

This sweet and adorable Woodlands High School senior wanted to incorporate her musical talent as a band member for her senior portraits, using her musical instruments as a prop for her senior session. I always encourage this kind of personalized session details, to make your senior portraits really reflect you and your talents! She chose two pretty spring dresses for this first half of her session, since her style leans towards pretty and girly. I had such a great time with this smiley senior!

For this senior portrait session, this graduating senior wanted to incorporate some authentic vintage items from her own family, like this really interesting suitcase that matched her vintage inspired patch-work dress perfectly! We had the threat of spring storms in the air, but we managed to finish the session before the rain started and came back with some gorgeous airy portraits thanks to the diffuse clouds. The field was a perfect match for her pretty blue dress as well – blue is a colour that photographs wonderfully well for your senior portraits! Lastly, no senior session is complete without one outfit to pay tribute to your chosen university or college! Hook ’em!

This sweet girl was SO much fun to photograph, coming up with new poses with her gorgeous, gorgeous long hair. This is the first half of her senior portrait session in the Woodlands, with an more urban flair to incorporate her trendy wardrobe. My senior girls are always so fashion forward, with styles of their own, and completely down to earth and friendly, I always enjoying getting to spend time with them photographing their personalities.

One of the fun things about this job is seeing all the amazing outfits that my seniors put together to showcase their personal style! All the girls are so different, with their own ideas on how to style their session – from country chic, to earthy boho, to classic sophistication to trendy. Some seniors bring a special dress or tunic to match the colours of the university they will be attending come fall — like this beautiful girl with her sundress in UT colours! She also came exquisitely styled in a chic black romper with matching black hat, to add some dramatic flair to her senior session. Love the variety!

This is part two for this trendy high school students, check out part one of her session here! For this session, we were looking for urban elements to incorporate into her photoshoot – from the parking garage and it’s amazing light, to brick walls and textures, to the glass walls and street scenes. It all adds up to a very contemporary look for her session, fresh and modern with a bit of an edge!

This beautiful Woodlands High School senior wanted her senior portraits taken in a rustic style location, with lots of greenery and natural touches like the wooden fence, rocks and water. We found the perfect location with -bonus! – Texas bluebonnets! This session was altogether amazing, check out the first half of her senior portrait session, before we set up a gorgeous boho-in-the-field series at sunset. And no senior session is complete without taking pictures in your future university colours! Bring an outfit that represents your chosen school, and bring props (banners, signs etc) if you have them to really personalize your session.

What’s so amazing about photographing high school seniors, is how very different they all are and how much energy they bring to the portraits that are all their own. This lovely girl wanted to showcase her talent as an ice skater for her senior portrait session in the Woodlands, which was fantastic since she’s the first ice skater I’ve worked with who brought costumes and her skates as props! We shot a variety of looks in and around town for this first half of her session before heading out to the field, and this more urban style set was so full of patterns and bright hues, I love the vibrant colourfulness of the first locations contrasting with the grittiness of the concrete in the last set.

This gorgeous senior had two distinct looks for her senior pictures — earthy and natural, and classic with a touch of urban styling! See the first half of her senior portrait session here, The Woodlands High School Senior Photographer.
For this part of her senior session, we were going for a more street urban vibe, using concrete, stairs and brick for a modern look. This particular color of blue photographs fantastically and looks amazing on everyone! Style tip: Always bring at least one pair of jeans or long pants for your senior session, so we can get poses that we can’t do with skirts or dresses. Seated poses are always fun and add variety to your senior session
She rocked this whole shoot, and that classic black dress (with those orange shoes!) looks dressed up but edgy against the brick.
