This April, we had the honor of capturing her senior portraits and a full family photo session at the beautiful Challenger Seven Memorial Park in Webster, TX.
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect—blue skies, sunshine, and spring blooms all around. Sophia was glowing with excitement for her next big adventure: attending Baylor University this fall! She brought such elegance and joy to every pose, and it was clear how proud her family is of her.
After the senior portraits, we shifted into a family session, capturing sweet, natural moments that show the love and bond they share. The park gave us so many great backdrops—lush greenery, open skies, and peaceful trails that made the photos feel relaxed and timeless.

Madera Estates- Conroe Wedding: Gracie + Ethan
If you're planning a Houston wedding and looking for a venue that’s just as beautiful indoors as it is outdoors, Madera Estates in Conroe, TX is a dream come true. Just ask Gracie and Ethan, who tied the knot in February with a celebration that was equal parts romantic, joyful, and unforgettable.
Rain, Romance & Fireworks: Gracie & Ethan’s Wedding at Madera Estates
If you're planning a Houston wedding and looking for a venue that’s just as beautiful indoors as it is outdoors, Madera Estates in Conroe, TX is a dream come true. Just ask Gracie and Ethan, who tied the knot in February with a celebration that was equal parts romantic, joyful, and unforgettable.
The day began with rain showers, but not even the weather could dim this couple’s glow. While their outdoor ceremony plan had to pivot, the indoor space at Madera Estates provided an equally stunning backup. The couple said “I do” in front of the grand stone fireplace inside the Spanish-style hacienda, surrounded by candlelight, laughter, and love.
From the moment Gracie walked down the aisle, every detail felt like magic. The venue’s old-world charm and elegant architecture made every photo feel like it belonged in a fairytale. And the smiles? Constant. Rain or shine, Gracie and Ethan were glowing.
Once the vows were sealed, it was time to party—and this reception did not disappoint. The night kicked off with a surprise El Polvorete moment that had guests clapping and laughing, followed by a lively La Fiesta de Mariachi dance that brought pure joy to the room. The reception space burst into life with music, color, and celebration.
Guests dined on delicious food by @churrascoswoodlands, danced the night away thanks to @djamproductions, and enjoyed every heartfelt and hilarious moment in between. One of the biggest “wow” moments of the night? An epic fireworks show by @roarovertexas that lit up the Texas sky!
To wrap up this incredible day, Gracie and Ethan made their grand exit under a tunnel of sparklers, surrounded by family and friends cheering them into forever. It was the perfect ending to a wedding full of beauty, surprises, and love.
So if you're a Houston-area bride looking for a wedding venue that offers elegance, charm, a stunning Plan A and a truly magical Plan B—Madera Estates should be at the top of your list, and we would be honored to photograph your gorgeous day. 😍

The Oak Atelier- Conroe Wedding Portraits: Stephanie + Jarod
If you have not been to the Oak Atelier, it’s a space that you don’t want to ignore. Tucked into a wooded property, this venue offers its iconic glass greenhouse that allows the most whimsical and beautiful natural light, and this is what Stephanie was in love with at this venue. We were able to capture some true fall magic!
Stephanie and Jarod decided that instead of an elaborate wedding day, they preferred to elope and spend their time taking beautiful and low-pressure wedding portraits! We were thrilled to be there for them and capture their love at Oak Atelier in Conroe, TX.

Houston Warehouse Studios Seniors: Jackson
We have known Jackson since he was 11 years old, playing drums for the church youth band. He is an incredible musician who participates in the Houston Youth Symphony. When you think of Jackson, you think of DRUMS. For this senior session, he even brought his own kit to the shoot.

Our first encounter with this lovely couple was a wedding that we were photographing (check it out here!), where Kendall was a bridesmaid.

Texas A&M Galveston Seniors 2024: Ella
Our associate, Megan, did this session and we’re thrilled on how it turned out! Ella and Megan met and serve together at Valiant Church on Galveston island, where Ella has invited many of her college friends. Ella’s studies and tattoos were driven by her passion for the ocean, so naturally, she wanted to her photos to showcase that passion by taking some photos right on the beach near Galveston Pleasure Pier.
After graduation, she plans to continue her post-grad studies at Oceans Research Institute in South Africa. (how cool!) We can’t wait to see your success and adventures, Ella!

Urban Downtown Houston Engagements: Kassie + Ryan
Kassie & Ryan were sooo cuteee, y’all!
We chose downtown Houston as the location for their portraits- Kassie wanted something a little city-feeling, and as we explored, we found some great spots along the way! We ended the session on top of a garage rooftop at sunset to put the icing on the cake of their killer urban session. Kassie’s outfit was perfect for upcoming NYE, and we can’t wait to celebrate their wedding at The Springs- Wallisville later this year!

Wortham Theater Downtown Houston Senior Session: Sebastian
Sebastian is going to Juilliard, y’all! It has been our ultimate pleasure to watch this stellar young man grow into a killer vocalist, and to see him use his gifts for God (where we serve as some of his youth leaders, and lead the student band).

Together, we decided that the Wortham Theater, where Sebastian was chosen to participate in a program for students pursuing opera, was the perfect location to commemorate his graduation. We explored inside and outside the theater, and ended our session at Sesquicentennial Park next door.
Sebastian, we are so proud of you and can’t wait to see what you accomplish!
Christmas Minis 2019
It’s the most wonderful timeeee of the yearrrr…
Of course, we are referring to CHRISTMAS! Our Christmas mini sessions have come and gone, but we are pumped about how everyone’s sessions went, and the fact that we 100% sold out of our available times! (We may have to add more days next year- don’t tell Josh!)
Minis days are long, but totally rewarding to see so many adorable families, and to think of our families sharing their Christmas cards with loved ones❤️

Webster Maternity Session: Zarahi + Silver
Little Julieta has arrived, but we are still ooing and ahhing over Zarahi’s maternity session! <3<3<3
Little Julieta has arrived, but we are still ooing and ahhing over Zarahi’s maternity session! <3<3<3
Zarahi and Silver wanted nature-filled photos, and that’s what we gave them in this Webster, TX maternity session. (Who would have thought that such beautiful nature could be found in the suburbs of Houston?)
This session was extra special, because it was a much anticipated time for this couple. In 2018 we had the pleasure of photographing announcement photos, but were later told of the heart wrenching news that Zarahi had lost her precious little one early on in her pregnancy. To say that Zarahi and Silver were excited to find that they were being promised a little baby just a few months later would be an understatement. Although we never shared their first announcement photos, we are OVERJOYED to be able to share this lovely maternity session, and to announce that Julieta is a happy, healthy little girl (that even played Jesus in this year’s Christmas production!).
Do you or does someone you know need maternity photos? Let us know! We’d love to be part of your beautiful memories. :)
Downtown Houston Engagements: Amy + Jon
Amy and Jon are precious, you guys! This couple has such natural chemistry, and their connection during their engagement session was undoubted.
This sweet couple was full of joy and laughter throughout their entire Downtown Houston engagement session, and even decided to incorporate how they met into their session- and it was so cute! You’ll have to scroll to the bottom to see it, but I promise, you won’t regret it!
Amy and Jon are precious, you guys! This couple has such natural chemistry, and their connection during their engagement session was undoubted.
When we asked Amy and Jon how they met, they unashamedly said, “Coffee Meets Bagel”! More and more, we are meeting couples who have been able to find their match online, and we think that is so cool! Both Amy and Jon relocated to Houston after college, and that they were able to meet their match here in HTX, well, I’m proud of, at least!

Urban Houston Engagements: Summer + David
We had a blast with Summer and David during their bright and colorful engagement session!
We quickly found that the vibrant and unique settings that we chose were a perfect match to this stylish young couple. :)

Summer plans to have a very color-filled summer wedding, so we thought- what better couple to explore Baytown’s Umbrella Alley with! We then took a trip to Houston’s museum district, where we explored the classic North and South Boulevard, and the Glassell School of Art. We quickly found that the vibrant and unique settings that we chose were a perfect match to this stylish young couple. :)
Summer and David, we are looking forward to your bright and beautiful wedding in June!
Ashelynn Manor Bridal Session: Courtney

TODAY IS THE DAY!
Hugest congratulations to Travis and Jamee, and we FINALLY can share her absolutely stunning bridal portraits!
TODAY IS THE DAY!
Hugest congratulations to Travis and Jamee, and we FINALLY can share her absolutely stunning bridal portraits! Jamee & Travis got married today at Travis’ family’s Texas hill country ranch in Bandera, so that is where we collectively chose to do Jamee’s session.
Jamee found the Silver Spur Dance Hall Ruins on the outskirts of Bandera, TX, and we couldn’t have chosen a cooler spot for her, even if we did have to hop a barricade to get to it! Not only was the architecture great for portraits, but the building itself came with history- a classic country dance hall that burned down in the 60s now serves as the backdrop of modern day portraiture.
Jamee & Travis, congratulations! Travis, you got a stunner!
Galveston Beachtown Engagements: Allie + Chris
Allie & Chris were SUCH A BLAST!
Josh has known Chris for years, and it was a great time for them to reconnect and have some fun taking engagement portraits for him and his bride-to-be. :)
Allie & Chris were SUCH A BLAST!
Josh has known Chris for years, and it was a great time for them to reconnect and have some fun taking engagement portraits for him and his bride-to-be. :)
As we learned, they had already taken engagement photos late last year, but in the fall. Allie mentioned that since they are having a summer wedding, she really wanted some brighter, more summer-feeling photos of the two of them to match their big day. We agreed on one of our FAVORITE spots, Galveston island!
For all you haters out there, Galveston really does have a lot to offer! Not only did we get the bright, fun photos that Allie was looking for, but the island really is more beautiful than you might think, especially Post Office Street and Beachtown, where we decided to spend our time during their session. Beachtown is (thankfully) not widely known, and is gorgeoussss. Driving up to the multi million dollar beach homes makes you forget that you are 45 minutes from Houston and 10 minutes from Pleasure Pier, and transports you to the east coast with breathtaking white plantation style homes and white picket fences. (Also, if you are ever in Beachtown, you have to try Porch Cafe- it’s one of our favorite date night spots because it’s so darn cute!)
At the end of the day, we had an incredible session with these two lovebirds, and even got some stunning sunset shots and cotton candy skies as the icing on the cake. Allie & Chris, we wish you years of joy and laughter, and after spending a few hours with you guys, I think you won’t have a problem with either! ;)
Check out their session- you won’t be disappointed!
