Webster, TX Family Session: Garcia Family

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!

Challenger Seven Park, a personal favorite, was a perfect backdrop for their session and never disappoints! The day was perfect, the smiles were golden, and the rest is history. Check out their session!

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!

Merry almost Christmas, everyone!

Christmas is always such a fun, special time, and we had an absolute BLAST with all of our awesome families and couples this year! We tried something new and ventured out to Holiday Acres Christmas Tree Farm, and it was sooo worth it! (It may be a new tradition, I’m still undecided!)

Our mini sessions brought us new friends and familiar faces, and so many sweet smiles. :) If you didn’t get in on the party of this year’s Christmas minis, we hope to see you next Christmas!

Check out some of our favorites!

Welcome Baby Talon!

Baby Talon, welcome to the world! We met you in your momma's tummy a few weeks before you decided to join us, and we were so excited to finally see you!

Talon started off the session a little fussy (turned out he just wanted to eat 4 times as much as he normally does!), but once he settled down, we were really able to get some gems for his mom, Christine! Especially that Easter bunny one. 

O. M. G. SO CUTE! 

Christine, we're pretty excited about how these turned out, and we can't wait to see him grow!

Sweetest Samara

Sweet Samara made her grand entrance on February 21, almost exactly two weeks before her due date! Rumor has it, Samantha even drove herself to the hospital since Tito was at work- beast mode! We were so thrilled to be able to meet this teeny one on her 6th day, and are in love with her and the memories of her that we were able to capture for their family!

This little beauty has brought nothing but pure joy into the Salinas family, where Tito and Samantha have handled the adjustment to a family of four like true champs. Samara, we are excited to watch you grow and can't wait to see what God has in store for you!

Happy Birthday, Belle!

It's Belle's first birthday, and we want to sing a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this cutie!

It's Belle's first birthday, and we want to sing a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this cutie! We were hoping to be able to do some cute outdoorsy photos for her, but the crazy Houston weather kept us inside... Regardless of the circumstances, we still were able to get some pretty darn cute photos of little Belle! She was timid at first, but definitely warmed up to the camera once the balloons came into the picture. ;) 

Belle, we hope you have a wonderful time at your party tomorrow, and can't wait to watch you continue to grow! Happy birthday!!

-Mikala & Josh

Emmy's 7 Month Update

It's been so fun to watch little Emmy and her bubbly personality grow! We had the pleasure to take some 7 month progress pictures of her, and in the words of Josh, "She is such a DOLL!" And once you see her pictures, I don't think there will be any disputing that!
