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!
Downtown Houston Engagements: Terry + Luis
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.
Terry and Luis have been a couple for over NINE YEARS, Y’ALL! When we realized that, it made us wonder- are you even old enough to be together for that long?! These high school sweethearts are getting married next month on their tenth anniversary, and I don’t know what could be more romantic. :)

Urban Downtown Family- Back to School: Trevino Kiddos

It’s always a pleasure to work with Desiree and her family!

It’s always a pleasure to work with Desiree and her family! We met Desiree shooting Kelley & Jorge’s wedding, where she and her colleague were the coordinators. (Shameless plug, if you need a coordinator, contact D&R Event Coordinators!) When Desiree asked to do a session for her 6th and 3rd grader, we were like, uh yeah- sounds great! We chose the Houston Graffiti Park as a fun, colorful location for their photos.
Check out their pics and show them some love! Need pictures for yourself? Let us know & let’s schedule something!
Downtown Houston Couple's Anniversary: Jade + Buddy
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!!)

So many congratulations to Diedra & Deoh'Andre on their recent engagement! This sweet couple was such fun to work with, and Diedra's lively spirit definitely brightened our day. :) Diedra decided that she wants a rustic theme for their September 2018 wedding, so the gardens and greenery of Hermann Park helped to fulfill the nature filled vision that she had for their portraits. Diedra & Deoh'Andre, you guys look spectacular, and we can't wait until next September! Many blessings to you both!
Mikala & Josh
Nelly & Rene
Nelly & Rene were the perfect couple to work with! The love that they had for each other radiated from their smiles, Rene knew just how to make Nelly laugh, and they looked just incredible, which made for simply stunning photos!
Hi friends, Mikala here! I'd like to welcome you to my very first solo session! :D As most of you know, Josh is our primary photographer, so when Nelly reached out about having photos done after their small civil ceremony on a day that Josh was out of town, I must say- my nerves were really working! I am ECSTATIC that I said yes, because Nelly & Rene were the perfect couple to work with! The love that they had for each other radiated from their smiles, Rene knew just how to make Nelly laugh, and they looked just incredible, which made for simply stunning photos! I promise, I asked them at least five times if they had modeled before, because they just looked so natural in front of the camera!
Nelly & Rene, I'm so glad that you guys decided to skip the Astros celebration parade and celebrate your love for one another instead!! May you continue to love each other deeply, make each other laugh, and have a beautiful life together!
Much love,
Mikala
Obi & Kelechi's Engagement Photos
What a beautiful couple! When Obi contacted us for photos, he said to me, "We already had engagement photos, and my fiancé looks gorgeous in them, but I just don't feel like myself. They came in and put powder all over my face, and I don't feel like I look like me. I'm not a pretty guy and want photos that are more casual, where I can feel like myself." We decided to do more urban feeling photos, and Obi, I hope we proved you wrong about yourself- you both ended up looking INCREDIBLE!

We've had people oooo-ing and ahhh-ing over your photos, asking if you both are models! You can see the love in both of your eyes, and we are so honored to have had even a small part in preserving these moments in your lives before becoming man and wife!
Juarez Family Photos
Annie and I have been coworkers for just over three years now, and before Josh and I even began our official photography business, she was one of the first people that was interested in having photos done! Needless to say, we were ecstatic when my she let me know that she and Jose wanted family photos this summer!

Needless to say, we were ecstatic when my she let me know that she and Jose wanted family photos this summer!
Annie and I went back and forth about where would be the best place for them, and what style of photos she wanted- Galveston or Houston? Urban or woodsy?Ultimately, I think we picked just the right spot. :)
We decided to try out Buffalo Bayou Park, right north of downtown Houston, where we were able to find the best of both worlds! A lush spot, right in the middle of the city, Buffalo Bayou Park allowed to get both great skyline pictures and photos in nature, and have fun while doing so! It was a great opportunity to explore one of Houston's gems, and it was evident that Justin and Sophia (and Jordan, the lovable French bulldog!) all loved the park as well.
Annie and Jose, I hope you love your pictures as much as we do! Anytime you want more family photos, we're totally in! :)
Britney Takes Downtown
Cooperative, enthusiastic, and beautiful, it was such a pleasure to spend the morning with our exceptional model, Britney. :)
When you decide that you want to go exploring at 6:30am on a humid, Saturday, Houston morning, you really need to find someone who is willing to cooperate (and be awake for the pictures)! Cooperative, enthusiastic, and beautiful, it was such a pleasure to spend the morning with our exceptional model, Britney. :) We found an empty garage rooftop, and explored the heart of downtown, learning and having a blast the entire time! Thank you, Philip Emerson Photography, for coordinating the hang, and thank you, Britney, for being you!
