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!

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❤️

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!
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. :)

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!
Houston Newborn Session: Baby Duke
I think it’s safe to say- if you have been following JMG Photography for long, you’re probably familiar with the Ellisons! These sweet friends of ours are some of our favorite clients, but we’re not biased because they’re our friends and their kids are adorable, or anything! ;)

Baby Duke made his way into the world early, and to be honest, he gave us quite a scare. Prior to his arrival, Brett & Micale were given some pretty scary news that involved chances of physical deformities, mental disabilities, and the chance of losing their little guy if things didn’t go just right. Let’s just say that praying parents don’t accept that kind of news laying down. The Ellison and Wilhoite families, along with hundreds of family and friends united together to pray for this little guy, believing that everything would be ok, and he would be born with none of the potential disabilities that the doctors had warned of.
When he was born, he was perfect! No physical abnormalities, ten fingers, ten toes, however he wasn’t out of the woods yet. The doctors immediately rushed him to NICU with fluid on his lungs. This little guy fought through fluid on the lungs, a meningitis scare, and a blood infection, and finally made it home to his little family and is doing 100% better! The power of prayer is real y’all.
Anyway, we are so happy for our sweet friends and their growing family, and can’t wait to see how this miracle baby changes the world as he grows!
