Briana & Eric | Rice University Engagement Session

There’s just something magical about the architecture and oak-lined walkways at Rice University, and Briana & Eric’s engagement session made the most of every beautiful detail. From the moment we arrived on campus, their joy and connection lit up the lens—and we couldn’t have asked for a sweeter couple or a better backdrop.

Hannah & James | Engagement Session at McGovern Centennial Gardens, Houston TX

There’s something truly special about couples who radiate joy—and Hannah and James were no exception! We had the absolute honor of capturing their engagement session at McGovern Centennial Gardens in the heart of Houston, and every moment was filled with laughter, love, and the kind of connection that makes our job so rewarding.

It was a privilege to shoot Courtney and Tacho’s engagement at Clay Family Eastern Glades in Memorial Park. Huge thanks to Instagram for connecting us to this fun, photogenic, couple who was super easy to work with. Wishing them all the best on their destination wedding in San Diego, and looking forward to future sessions after they tie the knot!

Kendall and Tam had the most beautiful wedding day, and such a sweet love for one another!

I’M SO EXCITED FOR MY FRIEND SAM! And of course, you too, Connor ;)

This was certainly a surprise to everyone involved, but we cannot wait to meet this little baby and welcome it to the framily!

Everyone loves a good family session around Christmastime, including us! The Garcia family was gorgeous and so easy to work with- even with 5 kiddos!

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!

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❤️

Terry spends her time as a Travel blogger and influencer photographer here in Houston, so we couldn’t think of a more appropriate location for her engagements than right in the heart of downtown Houston. She wanted something that captured both the city, and Houston’s diversity and nature, so together we chose Boomtown Coffee on Main Street, and then headed to the Dunlavy for some gorgeous golden hour shots.

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!

When me met Claire & Adam for their engagement session, we were totally impressed by how snazzy this awesome couple looked! Don’t you agree??

Erin and Jake told us that they had never done photos before, but I kept telling them I didn’t believe them because of what naturals they were!

Samantha and Jimbo have been together for TEN YEARS! We are so excited for them to be officially tying the knot and living their lives as husband and wife.

We love being able to grow with our JMG families!

This time last year, we were able to do Melitza’s Houston area maternity session (Check it out here!), and a year later, we had the great opportunity to capture their beautiful family of four!

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!

It was so cool to meet up with Ariel after like, what, 12 years?! Ariel and I (Mikala) went to middle and high school together! After graduation, I moved to Houston, and you know how that goes. BUT, when Ariel reached out to us to do some fun/casual engagements for them, we were thrilled and gave a resounding “Absolutely!”

Whitney & Kanaan had one of the sweetest wedding days of all time.

I’m truly not kidding when I say this!

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. :)

We absolutely love sessions with Jade & Buddy! Not only are they our friends, but they are just so much fun to work with. Jade asked if we had any suggestions for locations and feels for their session, and totally trusted us to craft something beautiful and memorable for them. (THANKS, JADE!!)
