Houston Warehouse Studios Seniors: Jackson
We have known Jackson since he was 11 years old, playing drums for the church youth band. He is an incredible musician who participates in the Houston Youth Symphony. When you think of Jackson, you think of DRUMS. For this senior session, he even brought his own kit to the shoot.

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!

The Springs Magnolia Wedding: Lorena + Ronald
No pandemic can stop this love!
Lorena and Ronald’s original June wedding date had to be rescheduled to September due to COVID-19, so once they finally were able to celebrate their love with friends and family, nothing could keep the smiles off of the faces of these two!

Lorena and Ronald’s original June wedding date had to be rescheduled to September due to COVID-19, so once they finally were able to celebrate their love with friends and family, nothing could keep the smiles off of the faces of these two!
Lorena and Ronald decided that The Springs Magnolia would make the perfect backdrop for their Labor Day wedding, and it couldn’t have been a more beautiful September day for it! From the moment that we walked in the door, everyone had such a peace and joy surrounding them, and when we were there to witness Lorena and Ronald’s first prayer together, there was not a doubt in my mind that the love they had was one for the ages.
The ceremony was beautiful, the reception filled with games and laughter, and we sent them off with a sparkler celebration, and added an ENCORE just for fun. ;)
Lorena and Ronald, you two had such a sweet wedding day, and the love that you share is so evident! We pray for decades of happiness for you both!

Galveston Pleasure Pier Family Session: Love Family
Galveston Pleasure Pier Family Session
We love watching the Love family grow! (How appropriate, am I right? ;) )
Galveston Pleasure Pier Family Session
We love watching the Love family grow! (How appropriate, am I right? ;) ) We have had the privilege of taking photos for Heather and Justin, and now little Payton for the past year; we’ve been able to see Heather during pregnancy, met baby Payton right after her birth, and now celebrate her first birthday and her parents making it through their first year with everyone happy and healthy!
Heather chose Pleasure Pier as the spot for this commemoration, since that is where we also did their maternity photos in 2019. What a way to celebrate and reminisce! The day was a warm August evening at the beach, but we were blessed with a good breeze, and the ability to not have to work around the summer crowd. Payton loved the water, and we had a great time overall!
Heather & Justin, you made it! And Payton, happy birthday little one!
University of Houston Senior Session: Jessica
Congratulations, Jessica, for graduating from University of Houston!
We met Jessica back in 2018 at the Cortez wedding. Jessica is Jorge’s sister, and was a beautiful bridesmaid at the time, and now is a gorgeous graduate!

Jessica decided to have her senior session at her alma mater, University of Houston, main campus. She graduated from the Bauer School of Business in one of the craziest years to date, 2020. We are so proud of all of our 2020 grads for making it through such a year!
Although all of Jessica’s pictures are as stunning as she is, I must say that my favorite part was when we all jumped in the fountain for her grand finale. If you know Houston summers, you know. :D
Jessica, congratulations on your graduation, and we hope to be able to work with you for years to come!
Houston, TX Family Session: Guevara Family
Everyone was full of smiles during this gorgeous family session!
We were so blessed to be able to squeeze this mini session in that day- as you can see from the clouds, a storm was brewing right behind us, but they made for a STUNNING backdrop to all of their pictures! :D

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!

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❤️

Ashelynn Manor Wedding: Courtney + McCae
Courtney and McCae are a dream couple, you guys! *insert heart eyes here*
Courtney and McCae are a dream couple, you guys! *insert heart eyes here*
Their Ashelynn Manor wedding day was absolutely the sweetest, most joy-filled day, and we were elated to be part of this magical day. Not only were the bride and groom GORGEOUS (as I believe that we have mentioned in one of their previous posts), but Courtney’s girls were the sweetest, McCae’s guys were the most helpful, and everyone was so ready and truly happy for the union of this amazing couple.
Ashelynn Manor was the perfect backdrop for their beautiful October wedding day. The white chapel wedding, the red barn reception- it was all a perfect reflection of the Southern charm and grace that this couple and their family radiated.
To this Aggie couple, we wish you a million years of blessings and happiness, and can’t wait to see your family grow in the coming years! <3
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. :)

Webster Maternity Session: Zarahi + Silver
Little Julieta has arrived, but we are still ooing and ahhing over Zarahi’s maternity session! <3<3<3
Little Julieta has arrived, but we are still ooing and ahhing over Zarahi’s maternity session! <3<3<3
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. :)
Downtown Houston Engagements: Amy + Jon
Amy and Jon are precious, you guys! This couple has such natural chemistry, and their connection during their engagement session was undoubted.
This sweet couple was full of joy and laughter throughout their entire Downtown Houston engagement session, and even decided to incorporate how they met into their session- and it was so cute! You’ll have to scroll to the bottom to see it, but I promise, you won’t regret it!
Amy and Jon are precious, you guys! This couple has such natural chemistry, and their connection during their engagement session was undoubted.
When we asked Amy and Jon how they met, they unashamedly said, “Coffee Meets Bagel”! More and more, we are meeting couples who have been able to find their match online, and we think that is so cool! Both Amy and Jon relocated to Houston after college, and that they were able to meet their match here in HTX, well, I’m proud of, at least!

Urban Houston Engagements: Summer + David
We had a blast with Summer and David during their bright and colorful engagement session!
We quickly found that the vibrant and unique settings that we chose were a perfect match to this stylish young couple. :)

Summer plans to have a very color-filled summer wedding, so we thought- what better couple to explore Baytown’s Umbrella Alley with! We then took a trip to Houston’s museum district, where we explored the classic North and South Boulevard, and the Glassell School of Art. We quickly found that the vibrant and unique settings that we chose were a perfect match to this stylish young couple. :)
Summer and David, we are looking forward to your bright and beautiful wedding in June!
