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!

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❤️

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. :)

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!
Webster, TX Family Session: The Co Sisters
**“The Codashians”, as we call them.**
**“The Codashians”, as we call them.**
These two sweet & sassy sisters contacted us so that they could surprise their parents with canvas prints for Christmas from their secret “sister session”. We have watched Meaghan and Morgan grow as we have worked with the church youth group, and boy are they a BLAST to work with!
Not only are they beautiful, but they can laugh on command! (#winning) If you don’t know these two, you should get to know them- they will brighten up your day every time.

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!

Our 2nd Anniversary!
April 10, 2018 marked our second year as husband and wife! Our celebration included a stay at the immaculate Hotel Alessandra, a movie date, massages and relaxation time at Fiori Day Spa, being chauffeured in a Maserati (SO FREAKING COOL) to dinner at the impeccable Potente Restaurant in downtown Houston, brunch at Bosscat Kitchen & Libations, which is now one of our favorite brunch spots, and ultimately, just enjoying each other's company. :) Also, we couldn't celebrate a milestone without some pictures, so in true Josh & Mikala fashion, we set up our tripod for some fancy selfies. ;)

Josh said it so well in his Facebook post when he said, "We're new to the married club and know it's only been two years, but we're here to stay. Here's to many more."
^^^AWWWW, I LOVE YOU BABE!^^^
We are proud of how far we've come in our marriage, and are excited to see where God takes us in the future, and can't wait to share highlights of our life with you! Before you look at our adorable (am I biased?) photos, I'll leave you with this scripture that we had engraved into Josh's wedding band, and we do not take lightly:
"So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Matthew 19:6

Soares Family
Mikala here! Rebekah is a coworker of mine, so when she came by my desk asking to have family photos done, I was pumped! First, we love fun families. Second, I love seeing my coworkers in real life, for non-work related occurrences!

As soon as the kids got out of the car, we knew this would be a good one. :) Bella & Michael have such fun personalities, and they really shined through their photos! They were such encouragers to mom and dad, and reminded dad to smile for real at the beginning when he was still warming up to the camera. ;) We love what we got here for the Soares family, and Rebekah is already planning her canvases!
