Magical Outdoor Sunset Photos with Tire swing at Houston Oaks

Natural Light Family Photography Session at Clubs at Houston Oaks

The Perfect, Timeless Locations for Pictures

Hi, gang! Today's blog post showcases a beautiful family session at an amazing venue called The Clubs at Houston Oaks. Located in Hockley, just about half an hour outside of Houston, this location is one of the most stunning venues I've ever had the honor of shooting at. While this venue is available to photographers only if your clients are members here, I've worked with this family before and this is their go-to spot for family photos. Aside from the countryside feel, rolling hills, manicured golf course, and of course the breathtaking overhanging oaks trees, this location is perfect because it's quiet and serene. You can see the families making memories here and enjoying quality time together, away from work and the pressures of life.

Here are a few of my favorite images from our time together! The tire swing is a super fun and whicmiscal element as little one loved swinging, playing, and just being a precious toddler! This age can be difficult to photograph, though as a professional baby and family portrait photographer, I've learned many tricks to working with young kiddos. Moreover, I do have four tots myself so being a mommy also teaches me much patience. When working with small children, the best trick is to find something they love doing, such as playing with Dad. Not only will the child have fun during the session, the final images will be soft, natural, carefree and evoke a sense of unconditional love between father and son.

The sunset lighting is pure magic here! Sun-kissed and radiant is the perfect timeless accompaniment to beautiful family photos.

Thanks for visiting my blog to see a gorgeous family session with two darling little boys! I would love to chat with you about having you on my calendar for an appointment showcasing your family. 

Let's connect so I may hear more about your little ones!

Hi, friends! Thanks for stopping by! If you're here, it's probably because you're interested in seeing a petite newborn collection I offer. First things first: I welcome you to take a tour of my newborn photography studio in Houston. Here you will find everything you need for your session from vintage inspired props, timeless wraps, as well as professional lighting, computer, and top of the line gear.

• Adorable Baby & Child Milestone Sessions such as first birthday

Parent/Family Portion (Sibling included if you have another child)

Once you arrive, we immediately feed baby and go into the session. I will guide you and give you plenty of direction. I have a very hands on approach to newborn photography and am comfortable leading the session so you know exactly what to expect.

Flokati Rug Set Up + Wrapping Style Number One: Potato Pose

Each collection comes with a flokati rug set up. Here is where we do the potato pose. Baby's love this and being wrapped keeps them so happy! Wrapping is a huge part of my newborn style and I urge to ensure this is a good fit for your aestetic preferences.

Wrapping Style Number 2 

This is wrapping style number two. All newborn collections include this. 

First Floor Prop: White Classic Bowl

My studio is filled to the brim with classic floor props. I generally find these at antique stores. They lend a vintage tone to your session and ensure the final result is timeless.

FLOOR PROP OPTION TWO: WOODEN CRATE

The second floor prop can be seen here. As always, if there is a certain floor prop you really like let me know so I may pull this item for your session.

Third Floor Prop: Metal Pail or Bucket

Third Style of Wrapping: Tootsie Wrap

Tootise wrap is the third style of wrapping you'll see in my sessions.

MACRO IMAGES | UP CLOSE + SUPER SWEET DETAILS

The macro portion is always lovely because these up close details are the characteristics that are unique to your baby. These can be lips, nose, ears, toes, hands, etc.

BEAN BAG POSING 

The bean bag portion are the naked, squishy poses you may be familiar with. Each baby likes to be posed differently, however, the following images are the main poses I do with each baby. 

Booking Your Session

A $100 non-refundable retainer and contract secure your appointment on the calendar. These are due immediately. The retainer is applied to any collection of your choice.  Payment plans are available upon request. Your final balance is due the day before your session.

How You Receive Your Digital Images

Following your portrait session, I retouch your images. These are completed in 10-12 business days. You receive a password protected and private gallery that is available to you for immediate download and sharing of your images. Your final gallery will give instructions on how to select the prints that come in your collection. If you are interested in additional products, we may set up an ordering appointment.

Additional Helpful Newborn Session Details:

• I provide all props, accessories, and items for your session. You just bring the baby.
• Studio is located in NW Houston near Barker Cypress & 290 -20 minutes outside the 610 loop
• Sessions take place in the first 14 days of life; my preference is 4-10 days, however.
• Sessions take place 7 days per week, starting at 10 AM

• I am fully vaccinated and insured. I also am formally trained in the custom art of newborn photography and have taken several workshops on newborn handling and safety in additional to professional training for posing, lighting, styling and post processing of your images.

The  session process is simple: you arrive, I photograph the session, retouch the images, and then 10 business days later you receive a private gallery in which you may immediately download and share your gorgeous images! They’re yours to print, share online, etc. Your loved ones may also download the images, too. This is a great option for grandparents who may not live in Houston. I do offer professional prints/products if you’re interested in them, but there is no minimum order. I provide a stress free, easy going experience for new parents.
