Galveston, TX Pleasure Pier Maternity: Davanie + Billy
You haven’t SEEN stunning until you’ve seen Davanie & Billy’s maternity session. This Galveston photo session was so dreamy, with the natural light setting just right through the pillars of the pier, and Davanie & Billie were absolutely glowing.
Galveston, TX Pleasure Pier Maternity: Davanie + Billy
You haven’t SEEN stunning until you’ve seen Davanie & Billy’s Galveston maternity session, and I can’t believe we are so behind is sharing it!
To commemorate their love for the ocean and their time in the Houston and Galveston area before a big move, they decided to do their maternity photos at the Galveston seawall, right by Pleasure Pier (one of our favorite spots). This Galveston photo session was so dreamy, with the natural light setting just right through the pillars of the pier, and Davanie & Billie were absolutely glowing.
Webster, TX Maternity Session: Yaz + Jesus
It had been a while since I (Mikala) had been behind the lens, but we got a babysitter for Tate and dusted some cobwebs off for this maternity session with our friends Yaz & Jesus!

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. :)
Galveston Pleasure Pier Maternity Session: Heather + Justin
We LOVE Galveston, so when Heather said that she wanted a beachy maternity session, we were 100% here for it!

Heather wanted some photos under the pier, and some on the jetty, so that’s exactly what we made happen for her, and boy am I glad that we did. The day was perfect, the colors were just so vibrant beautiful, and if you didn’t know Galveston, you wouldn’t even be able to tell- I’d think Cali if I didn’t already know better!
Heather chose a dusty rose colored dress for herself and a teal shirt for Justin, and I don’t know if she could have made a better choice. The colors truly complimented each other and the background, and helped to add a little bit of color pop to each photo.
Heather, you truly looked like an absolute angel, and we can’t wait to meet your little girl next month!
PS- If you ever want to do a Galveston maternity, family, senior, engagement, bridal, or basically any session you can think of, let us know! We’ll totally be down to clown. ;)
Santa Fe, TX Maternity: Kristina + Greg
When Kristina first reached out about a maternity session, she mentioned bringing baby goats- Wait, what?! How cool, yes please! I could already tell that Kristina & Greg were going to be a ton of fun!

Although we didn’t end up with the baby goats, lol, we had a blast with this awesome couple, and can tell that they’re going to be cool parents. Not only do they breed goats at their farm, but they incorporated Jimmy Fallon books into their session, which is pretty great in itself!
Kristina & Greg, the love that you guys show for each other is just going to be multiplied for baby Evelyn, so Josh and I know that she will be abundantly loved! Can’t wait to see baby E!

Christine's Maternity Session
Christine lost her father in late 2017, so when she decided to do her maternity photos, Christine had the wonderful idea to honor and dedicate the photos to her later father. Seeing as he had been the pilot of Apache helicopters during his time in the military, what better way to honor him than to take photos with the very choppers that he flew! We knew that this was a very special and powerful session, and were all in when she pitched us the idea. I am glad that we were allowed on base, because we LOVE her session and the meaning behind the setting!

Preparing for Baby Samara
Our dear friends, Samantha and Tito, are expecting baby Samara in March, and it was our honor to be part of this step of their lives! Sam looked so beautiful, and the boys were too precious in their matching outfits. ;) ALSO, Josh gained IV's favor when he stumbled upon a trick to make him laugh! (You can see IV just dying laughing in some of the pictures!)

We have absolutely loved being able to watch and photograph this growing family! Samara, you are truly so loved already, and I can guarantee, you are being born into such a wonderful family! We can't wait to meet you soon!
Much love,
Mikala & Josh

Micale's Maternity Photos
Baby Ellison is well on her way, hopefully to be expected this week, and we are so excited! Micale said that she went back and forth between whether she wanted maternity photos or not, and I must say, I'm glad she decided to have some taken before it was too late!

Micale said that she went back and forth between whether she wanted maternity photos or not, and I must say, I'm glad she decided to have some taken before it was too late! We did the session for Micale and Brett in their home, since we didn't know if she would still be on bed rest, AND 38 weeks along isn't the most comfortable state to be roaming local parks. I hope you agree with us in saying that the final results were stunning!
Micale, you and Brett are going to be incredible parents, and we can't wait to meet Baby E this week! :D
Ruqyia & Salman's Gender Reveal!

Hermann Park Maternity
Brianda's Maternity session
Josh previously worked with Brianda, and when she contacted us to have a maternity session, it was an easy and resounding "YES!" Brianda said that she loved the natural light and nature from our previous shoots, so we collectively decided to meet at Houston's Hermann Park- easily one of the most beautiful and lush areas of the city! She looked absolutely angelic, especially with the light of golden hour peering from behind her through the branches of the trees.
Brianda and Ricardo were both such a pleasure to work with, and their love for little Noel, and excitement to have him finally arrive were both apparent throughout our time together. Congratulations, you two! We're so excited to see your little one in a few weeks!
