As a Maternity Photographer in The Woodlands, most of my photo sessions feature expectant mothers who have a visible baby bump because they are in their last trimester of pregnancy. This photo session was a little different because I was asked to take pregnancy announcement photos first so that this happy couple could share their exciting news with family and friends. It was so much fun to document the very beginning of this couple’s journey to parenthood and I am so glad that I was able to help them tell their story.
The mom-to-be chose an outdoor setting so that we could utilize beautiful, natural foliage of the season as the backdrop. As we all know, summers are hot in Houston, especially in August! We planned the session just before sunset so it was a little cooler and even though it was quite hot, we were able to capture the joy of this special time in their lives. We used sonogram photos and tiny baby shoes to tell the story of what is to come in a subtle and simple way.
I am looking forward to seeing this mom-to-be again in a few months at her maternity photo session in the studio where we will drape her (and her bump) in gorgeous clothing from the studio wardrobe.
If you are pregnant and are interested in booking a maternity or newborn session please contact me to get more details. I would love to work with you!

Moments in Light Photography is a Houston maternity photographer also specializing in newborn, baby and family photography in Houston, TX and surrounding areas including but not limited to The Woodlands, Montgomery, Tomball, Spring, The Heights, Sugar Land, League City, Rice Village, River Oaks, Katy, Bellaire and West University Place.
There is something about a newborn’s features that beg to be photographed in natural light. Maybe it is their delicate quality and because everything about them is so pure, but using natural light is my favorite way to photograph newborns. When done correctly, the light falls across their tiny features and highlights all of the things that make them so special and so unique.
I have designed my newborn and baby studio to utilize natural light. I have two large windows that let in beautiful sunlight and I have multiple layers of drapery to make sure that the light is filtered just right. My studio is located in North Houston about 5 miles north of The Woodlands and I have many clients that come from Sugar Land, The Heights and all over the greater Houston area.
My natural light studio provides everything needed for your newborn and baby session including a variety of soft blankets, wraps, baby bonnets, delicate headbands as well as clothing for parents and siblings. I like to make the studio as comfortable for baby and parents as possible so I have a sitting area and a changing table as well as a separate room for changing and nursing. I also have toys for older babies and children that go with my organic style of photography so they are entertained during the process and we are able to take photos of their playful spirit.
If you would like to schedule a studio tour and learn more about the experience of a newborn session please contact me via my homepage, or send an email directly to info@momentsinlightphotography.com.

From her blonde whispy hair that grows straight down the middle of her forehead, to her blue eyes, my little girl has me wrapped around her finger. She is smart, determined and sweet all at the same time. She amazes me every day and to say that I have enjoyed watching her grow and develop over the last 12 months is an understatement. I honestly can’t believe that she is now officially a toddler.
It seems like yesterday that she was a chubby little baby rolling around on the floor. First the baby cheeks started to disappear and the next thing I knew she was crawling. A few days before her first birthday she took her first steps. It is becoming more and more clear to me that I need to document all of these stages so that I can remember her as she was.
She doesn’t particularly like mommy taking photos of her (as there have been many attempts and failures over the months) but I managed to get these before she was just, well…done as only a toddler can be. I dressed her in a delicate and soft lace dress to coincide with her tenderness at this age. I let her play and explore and enjoyed capturing the magic of being one.

Pregnancy is such a momentous time in a woman’s life and I love documenting it for my clients. I offer two locations for maternity sessions: outdoors in the field or in the studio. There are a few differences between the two locations, so it’s a good idea to think about which one will work best for you.
Both maternity session types include use of the studio wardrobe and a styling consultation to choose pieces to wear prior to your session, or to simply get guidance on what to wear. One main difference between the studio maternity session and the outdoor maternity session is that the studio session includes an outfit change. The reason for this is that it is quick and easy to change into a second outfit in the studio, whereas outdoors there is no privacy and it is more difficult and time consuming to do so. Since the maternity sessions are around 20 minutes, outdoor session are limited to one outfit.
While the outdoor maternity sessions offer golden light from sunsets and feature natural foliage in the field, the studio maternity sessions utilize the natural light in the studio and furniture such as the bed and chairs. Both are equally beautiful, but each has a different feel. The decision of whether to go with a natural landscape or a more luxurious setting is up to you.
One thing to consider when making your decision is the time of year. As a Houston Maternity Photographer, I understand that weather plays a big role in outdoor photo shoots. In the hotter months you may want to choose an indoor session so that you are not uncomfortable in the elements of nature. Another thing to keep in mind is that if it happens to rain on your session date we will need to reschedule, so if you are getting close to your due date an indoor session may be best for you.
Both types of maternity sessions that I offer include a few photos with your partner (if you choose) so keep that in mind when deciding which type of session you want also. Sometimes your partner can even help you make a decision if you are on the fence about which setting you want!

Let’s be honest: finding a Houston Newborn Photographer is not a difficult task, since there are literally hundreds to choose from. Many of us may even know someone personally, such as a friend or neighbor who photographs babies. While finding someone to take your newborn photos is not hard, choosing the right photographer takes careful consideration.
The truth is, your newborn is only a newborn once, and you want to make sure that the photographer that you choose is going to create photographs that you absolutely love. Along with beautiful photos, you also want to make sure that you have a great experience with the photographer that you choose. Having a newborn baby is an amazing time, but it is also a stressful time, so you want to avoid any uncomfortable or unpleasant experiences.
The first thing that you should consider is the style of photography that you want. Does the photographer use colors, textures and light in a way that appeals to you? Do you like a posed style or a more organic style of newborn photography? Choosing a photographer whose style you love is key because asking a photographer to do things that are different from the work that they present in their portfolio will most likely not produce results that either of you are happy with. There are many different styles of newborn photography out there so take some time to figure out what you like and find a photographer who does just that – you will be able to tell from their website.
Another thing to consider is what you plan to do with your photos from the session. Do you want to frame them and hang them on your wall or put them in an album? Are you planning on doing this yourself or would you like the photographer to do it? Most photographers offer digital images, but the point of getting professional photos is to actually print them. Consider how much you will have on your plate at the time you are caring for your newborn and if you want the responsibility of printing everything yourself or if you want it to be done for you. How likely are you to get it done in a timely matter? Is that important to you? If you want to purchase products take a look at what types of products the photographer offers and their quality.
Lastly, choose a photographer who you feel comfortable with and like their business practices. What is their initial contact with you like? Are they responsive, friendly and professional? Do they answer your questions promptly and explain the process of working with them? Do they include any extra perks above working with other photographers?
I hope these ideas to consider will help you when the times comes to choose your newborn photographer in Houston. Taking a little time to think about what you want will help you make the best choice for you and your family. After all, they are only newborns once.

The newborn stage is such an amazing time and one of the most enjoyable things to do as a new parent is to take in every tiny detail. There are many Houston newborn photography options around, but what sets me apart is that I make sure to spend a little time during each newborn photo session to capture all the tiny details. Little fingers and toes, ears, noses, and eyelashes all change as your baby grows so I want to document them for families so that those little features of your precious little ones aren’t forgotten.
Below is a compilation of some of my favorite detail baby images. Getting baby fever and want to see more? Go take a look at the newborn gallery.

There are so many joys in being a Houston baby photographer, and one of them is the perk of having a studio where I can photograph my own children. I admit it isn’t always easy to find the time to get them in the studio; between bottles, naps, play and taking care of household and business to-do-lists time is definitely at a premium. However, at the same time I know that they are only this little for so long and they change daily before my eyes. Photographing their stages and their personalities as they grow is the only way to have have the visual memories, so I remind myself to make the time.
My little guy is so full of happiness; his big blue eyes light up so bright when he smiles that it is impossible not to share the joy with him. He loves hugs and cuddles and he likes to take in the world by observing, just like his mama.
I hold on extra tight when he hugs me and I hope he remains as affectionate as he grows. I can’t wait to see more of his sweet little soul as he develops!

As a Houston newborn photographer, I love to photograph mothers with their babies. Whether it is the first child or an additional sibling, there is an indescribable connection between a mother and her child that is my absolute joy to capture.
As a mother of two babies myself, I also know how demanding motherhood is. The needs and wants of newborns and babies are immediate and constant. Motherhood requires selflessness 24-hours a day. The reward of a strong bond between mother and child is most certainly earned by active dedication to little souls that depends on you for everything.
This year I am doing something special that celebrates mothers in particular. I want to showcase you with your babies and let the magic between you unfold. Your connection with your little ones deserves to be preserved and honored.
You deserve these photos, and so do your children.
The date is set to guarantee all prints are ready for Mother’s Day and sessions are complimentary for 2016 full session clients. If you are not yet a client, or a full session client, you still have a chance to participate as well.
Details are below and sessions will be reserved on a first come, first served basis.

Being a part of the overwhelming joy and happiness of families is one of the best things about being a Houston newborn photographer. This sweet couple was beaming with pride over their precious baby boy who has quickly stolen their hearts. He was so tiny at only 5 days old and loved being held in his mama’s arms.
Mom chose to wear a beautiful dress from the studio wardrobe and we wrapped baby in soft tones and textures. We captured his tiny features and details so that they will always be remembered as he grows and changes.
Here are a few favorites from their session. I can’t wait to give them their fine art prints and have them grace the walls of their home as a reminder of this incredible time in their lives. As their son grows he will get to see just how much he was loved and adored from the very start.

As a Houston baby photographer, you think I’d be used to how quickly babies grow. But, with my own children, the months seem to keep adding up on top of one another. How did we get to 8 months?! The baby clothes keep getting tighter and I get a flush of sadness and teary eyes each time a piece of clothing gets taken out of the closet and put into a storage box. Where did my newborns go?
Teeny tiny fingers have been replaced by chubby little hands that grasp everything in sight. Soft newborn coos have turned into full on baby babbles of “Dada” (of course not “Mama”). Glimpses of little smiles are now constant big grins and belly laughs.
It’s an absolute gift to watch my baby girl grow. My little Junebug is so full of personality and determination. She makes me laugh every day and I see so much of myself in her. Shortly after these photos were taken she began crawling. I can’t wait to see where her little legs take her next.

As a Houston newborn photographer, I am privileged to be a part of many young families’ growth. It is hard to imagine that the little girl seen in these photos was in my studio 2 short years ago as a newborn herself. She is now a proud older sister welcoming her new little brother into her loving family.
This baby boy was 3 weeks old and was such a pleasure to photograph. He was the best little sleeper and was very content being cuddled in his mom and dad’s arms during our session. I loved capturing the tender moments of love and adoration of his mom and dad.
With each baby that I photograph, I love to hone in on their special features that make them unique. This little guy’s most distinctive trait is his little white patch of hair from a birthmark on his scalp. How cool is that?! He was born with a rock n’ roll style that will suit him well in his teenage years.
One thing’s for sure: he was born into a wonderful family full of love.

As a Houston maternity photographer, I appreciate beautiful sunsets and warm sunny days. This day in particular was one of those that will stay in a special place in my memory, because I had the chance to take my dearest friend’s maternity photos. She is expecting a baby girl in late March and I was thrilled to get to capture such an amazing time of transformation in her life.
Our session was taken in Napa Valley during a perfectly scheduled trip to see family. For those of you who have never been, it is one of the most beautiful places to visit so I highly recommend putting it on your travel list. Although it had been profusely raining for days, the weather held out for us and the day was absolutely gorgeous. The natural landscape, cascading hills and grapevines were the perfect backdrop for this maternity session featuring new life. The sunset on the hill created the most beautiful and dreamy light.
I feel so blessed that I had the opportunity to create something from the heart to celebrate this incredible time in her life. I look forward to the day that she shows these photos to her little girl so she can see what she looked like inside her beautiful mommy’s tummy and all of the love that surrounded her.

As a Houston baby photographer, I often get the chance to work with growing families. This little angel is the newest addition to a wonderful family whose other daughter I took portraits of when she was the same age. It is amazing how much siblings can look alike!
As the girls grow it will be so neat for them to look at photos from each other’s portraits sessions at 7 months old and compare similarities and differences. It is equally fun for the parents to see the resemblances and subtle differences between their two precious daughters at the same age.
I love doing these baby portrait sessions to capture milestones in baby’s first year since they grow so quickly. My approach is to put the babies in a beautiful setting and let them get comfortable, play and be themselves. The best photos are those that capture the essence of their little personalities and it is always my goal to create something naturally beautiful in it’s simplicity.

For those of you living in Houston, you know it’s pretty flat here. I mean, almost literally there isn’t a hill to be found in this city! Being from California, it’s one of the first things that I noticed when I moved here. As a Houston baby photographer, I never get to do a local photo shoot with hills in the landscape, so I decided that I would take advantage of the hills while I was home in California for the holidays. I did some scouting in a local rural part of town and found the hills, quiet and calm that I was looking for.
My babies are growing so quickly (as babies tend to do) and I want to make sure that I get photos of each stage. I had planned to have both my son and daughter in this photo shoot with Daddy, but as sometimes happens with the best laid plans, my son was having a melt down this particular afternoon. So, instead of a photo shoot with Daddy and his two babies, we decided to give him a pass and do a photo shoot with Daddy and his daughter. It ended turning out just as well, because I was able to get some special memories of the two of them at this stage.
Dads and daughters have a special bond and I can already see the sweet twinkle my husband gets in his eye when he looks at my daughter and the tender way he cares for her. As she gets older, he will be her biggest protector, her shoulder to cry on and the first man she ever loves.
Parenthood is such a journey and I look forward to all of the wonderful moments that are to come as their relationship grows through the years. But for now, I love seeing my little baby girl in her Daddy’s arms. I have a feeling she will love looking at these one day too.

Wow, what a year! 2016 was a big year both personally and professionally as a Houston newborn photographer. Personally, I had the biggest adventure of my life welcoming my boy-girl twins into the world last summer and becoming a mother. My husband and I are blessed beyond words to have these two amazing little people in our life and it has been incredible to watch them grow. We look forward to all of the milestones to come in the next year.
2016 has also been a big year of growth for the company. I have made many updates to the studio such as now offering a full wardrobe for all of my clients to wear during their sessions. I also provide fine art prints and custom frames now to help my clients display their photos in the best way possible. I have created Portrait Collections to simplify the ordering process and to help my clients walk away with something beautiful and tangible that fits their needs.
One other change is that I have included printed proofs in design and ordering appointments so that my clients see all of their photos printed and hold them in their hands rather than look at them on a computer screen. I have received great feedback about these changes because it makes the process easier for my clients which, in the end, is always my ultimate goal. If I had to choose a word for 2016 it would be: SIMPLIFY.
Thank you to all of my clients who have remained with me during these transitions. It is truly an honor to photograph all of you and to help tell your families’ story. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the year.

The glow of pregnancy is such a beautiful thing and this mom-to-be was definitely glowing during her maternity session in The Woodlands. As a Houston maternity photographer I am humbled to be a part of the experience as my clients’ families grow. This lovely family will be welcoming their second child soon and it was a joy to capture some special memories for them.
The mother-to-be chose a beautiful dress from the studio wardrobe to wear during her session. I have a collection of dresses in soft color palettes that are feminine and detailed to provide my clients with options that will photograph beautifully. I am constantly adding to my collection of luxury dresses so there are lots of options to choose from that flatter many shapes and sizes. Wardrobe and styling is just one of the extra services that I provide to my clients to help them look and feel their most beautiful.
The mother-to-be dressed her little girl (whom I have had the pleasure of photographing since she was just a few months old) in a custom-made dress that was made from her own wedding dress. It was a very special piece of family history and I am so glad that we were able to memorialize it in photographs.

It was a cold December night in The Woodlands during this famiily photo session, but the love of this family created so much warmth that you would never know. One of the greatest joys that I have as a Houston family photographer is witnessing tender moments like these between children and their parents.
The giggles, the belly laughs and the looks of loving adoration are never announced and often last just seconds, but it is these subtle exchanges that we want to remember. It’s the pure and real demonstrations of love and happiness that deserve recognition, to be preserved in a photograph to look at time and time again.
We used many of the studio wardrobe pieces to create a soft color palette so that the family’s love and connection could really shine. I love keeping clothing simple and timeless so that the focus of your photographs remains your family, without any distracting elements getting in the way.
Like all of my family photo sessions, I let this family play and have fun while I stepped back and captured the special moments that I saw. They now have memories to keep for a lifetime of just how they were in this season of life – no artifice, no props- just purely them at this stage of their lives.

There is nothing quite as rewarding as a Houston family photographer than getting to create memories for a family as they grow. I have had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful family for 2 years. During that time I have photographed their daughter from a newborn to a toddler, preserving memories of her at each stage. I know it hasn’t felt like 2 years to me, so I can only imagine how fast the time has seemingly flown by for her parents. They are expecting another child very soon and with the changing dynamic it will be neat for their daughter to see these photos of when she was the only child when she is older. She will know just how much she was adored.
For this outdoor family session in The Woodlands we planned their clothing using pieces from the studio wardrobe. We used a light cream and white color palette to let the love and connection of the family really shine and be the focus of the photos. I gave some simple direction but I let them play and have fun with their little one so that I could capture genuine moments of happiness. The joy and love of this family just poured out into my lens and I had the best time creating these memories for them.

When you hold your baby for the first time they are these miraculous, tiny human beings that you can’t believe are yours. One of the most enjoyable things to do is to look at every tiny little detail: their little fingers and toes, the curve of their nose, the shape of their ear. The thing is that as amazing as these features are, they grow and change so quickly. As a Houston newborn photographer, it is one of my responsibilities to document these tiny pieces so that you have memories of them forever.
As my mother’s second child, I never had a baby book. I’m sure that many of you can relate! Between raising two children she never found the time to make one, which is completely understandable. However, now that I have children of my own I think about how amazing it would be to see photos of myself as a newborn and compare them to my children’s photos. How cool would that be?! Luckily, my children will be able to have that experience.
By hiring a professional to capture these momentous occasions your family’s history, you are providing them with gifts that will be meaningful for generations.

Choosing a professional photographer to capture the most precious moments in your family’s life is a difficult task. Especially when there are so many choices and seemingly a new photographer everywhere you turn. As a Houston newborn photographer, I aim to stand out from the noise and offer my clients something unique. That is why photo sessions with Moments in Light Photography are full service experiences from start to finish.
Depending on what type of session you choose (newborn, maternity, baby or family) I offer clothing options from my large studio wardrobe of women, baby, children and (some) men’s clothing. I hand select beautiful pieces in soft color palettes that flatter all body types and photograph well. All of my sessions include a wardrobe consultation to try on clothing or to discuss places to shop to find items that will make you and your family look your best in your portraits. I take the headache and stress over what to wear off of your hands.
Your photo session will consist of soft posing and direction to allow your emotions and family connections to naturally shine through. To me, the beauty often lies in the real, organic moments.
After your session is complete I don’t just hand over a disk of images that will inevitably wind up in a drawer, sadly never to be printed because you don’t know where to start and don’t have time for another project. All collections include all digital images, but I don’t leave you to fend for yourself. Instead, you will get to see all of your images in print to look at and hold to help you decide what you would like to do with your memories.
After you sift through your prints and select your favorites, I help you choose display pieces for your home. Whether you want to house all of your images in an album or hang a few on the wall, you get to choose from curated display pieces chosen for their high quality. We work with your home decor and your preferences to choose something that you will absolutely love looking at every day. After all, that is why you chose to get professional portraits done in the first place, right?
It is vital to me that all of my clients walk away from the process feeling well taken care of and happy with their choices, which is why I offer a quality experience without cutting corners. I believe my full service process is what sets me apart from the sea of other options out there. If all of this sounds up your alley, contact me below to book your next session. I look forward to hearing from you!

It always amazes me how quickly my little clients grow. It feels like yesterday when I was photographing this little sweetheart when she was only a few months old. Somehow, now she is a toddler full of energy and personality who was walking around the studio and laughing big belly laughs for her Daddy. Getting to be a part of these little people’s growth is one of the best things about being a Houston baby photographer.
Following a rambunctious two-year-old around with a camera is not always an easy task, but keeping up with them is rewarding because I was able to catch some very sweet moments of genuine happiness.
I also love to capture those quiet moments in between smiles. Paying attention to little details like the curls in their hair that may straighten over time helps parents remember their children for who they are now in this very moment. When they are grown it can be difficult to remember the nuances of these precious stages.
Most importantly, I like to let them be them and let them be little while I document the joy and beauty that I see unfold in front of my lens.

What is the purpose of getting portraits? I believe that the purpose of taking the time to select the right photographer, planning the particulars of your shoot and investing in a photo session with a professional photographer is so that you can enjoy a beautiful finished product like gorgeous prints hanging on your walls or displayed in a luxurious album. Part of the joy of being a Houston newborn photographer is getting to see the joy on the faces of my clients when they receive these beautiful items; it’s the culmination of our session together.
So many times the intent to print is there, but the action required to find a high quality printer and go to a frame shop just doesn’t happen in the midst of our busy day-to-day lives. Especially as moms who already have so much on our plate as it is. Who has the time for that? Hardly anyone. Which is why I make it easy for you.
I offer 3 Portrait Collections that include beautifully printed art products. I have done the work finding the best of the best for you. The process is simple: you choose which collection that you want based on how you want to see your photos displayed. Once you make your selection I take on the responsibility of getting the rest done, so that all you have to do to enjoy your portraits on a daily basis is pick up your order when it’s ready. It’s as simple as that.
Oh, and don’t worry- you get all the digital images from your session too. 🙂

Two to love, two to hold, two to kiss and two to snuggle. Having a child is a life-changing and incredible experience and having two at once is at times surreal. Realizing that you grew these two babies inside of you at once is astonishing in itself. Watching them develop and become their own little people is one of the greatest joys in life and as a Houston baby photographer I am documenting these moments as frequently as I can.
Between the double feedings, double diaper changes and tending to two babies at once, the days have turned into weeks and the weeks into months. I can’t believe that my little angels are now over 4-months-old. Their growth is both bitter-sweet and exciting at the same time, as I don’t want them to grow up but I also love seeing them at each new stage thriving and developing.
Their personalities are already so different but while they maintain their individuality they will also start to develop a strong bond. As their mom I look forward to seeing their connection develop and I love that they will have a life-long friend – who they also share a birthday with.

There is something to be said about the connection between grandparents and their grand babies. All of the love that they have for their children seems to be renewed and spilled over into these new precious souls. My parents were gifted their first two grandchildren this summer and the love that they have for them and the bond that they have created is unique and special. As a Houston newborn photographer (and a new momma) I had the chance to get behind the lens and create some memories for them with their newborn grandchildren. It was a surreal and incredible experience to capture these moments for my family.
Although sleep was at a minimum and the diaper changes and bottle feedings were constant, I made taking these portraits a priority. Babies are brand new and tiny for a very short time and I wanted to make sure that I documented my parents with them at this stage. The love and awe over these two new family members permeated the studio and these portraits tug at my heartstrings.
My children were welcomed into the world with so much love and I look forward to the day when they can look at these photos of themselves in their first few weeks of life and see just how much they were cherished.

I love the holidays. There is nothing better than looking forward to Christmas morning as a child. Not being able to sleep thinking about rudolph and blitzen driving the sleigh through the sky with Santa at the reigns. Trying to figure out how Santa can fit down the chimney with all of your presents. And waking up at the first ray of sunlight to see if he ate the cookies that you left for him. There are few things better than the holiday excitement when you are a child …except for maybe getting to watch your children live the joy. As a Houston baby photographer I try to capture the joy of the season in photographs so that the memories remain long after December.
One of my fondest memories of Christmas Eve as a child was getting to open up one present after dinner that was always a pair of Christmas pajamas that my mom had nought for me and my sister. We would put on our new pjs, cuddle up in bed with mom and dad and read A Night Before Christmas before going to sleep.
I have created the annual Holiday Pajama Portrait Event to give mom and dads some tangible memories of the season. Clients bring their babies and children to the studio in their Christmas pajamas and we jump on the bed, sing Christmas songs and read stories. Lots of smiles and good times are had! There are even cookies after the session as a sweet reward 🙂

One of the biggest headaches for most families when booking a photo session is figuring out what to wear. You want your family to look their best but finding the time to go peruse clothing stores for outfits for not only you, but your little ones and significant other so that you all coordinate is time consuming and overwhelming. You also don’t know what you are supposed to wear, what will look good and where to find it all. As a Houston family photographer I have sought out to eliminate this problem for my clients by stocking a studio wardrobe for my clients to use during their photo sessions.
Clothing plays such an important role in the look and feel of your portraits, so I want to make sure that we get it right. A bad outfit- whether it be too busy, ill-fitting, or uncoordinated – can easily ruin your portraits. I spend time carefully hand-selecting clothing from luxury brands (such as Anthropology, Free People and Rachel Pally to name a few) that is timeless, elegant, and falls within a soft color palette that photographs beautifully.
Whether you are coming in for a maternity session, newborn session, baby or family session, I have a great pieces for everyone so you can focus on enjoying your session rather than stressing about clothing. I have dresses in a range of sizes for moms, boy and girl baby clothing, toddler clothing as well as shirts for dads. I am constantly adding more pieces to the wardrobe so it is ever-growing! Each session comes with an optional styling appointment where you can come in to the studio in advance of your session and try on pieces from the studio wardrobe. Most clients find doing a styling appointment is a great choice so that they know in advance what they will be wearing and if they need to pick up any additional accessories to complete their look. You will also get really excited knowing that you are going to look fabulous!
If you don’t happen to find anything that works for you I give detailed recommendations on what to buy and where to find it. I take it one step further by virtually shopping for you and sending you a digital style board with direct links to purchase items online. Styling my clients is something that I really enjoy and is part of the portrait experience where you are taken care of from beginning to end.

I am catching up on some blogging and I realized that I hadn’t yet blogged this beautiful family session in The Woodlands from…February! Yes, February. Oops- I blame in on “pregnancy brain” at the time. But, I wanted to share it because one of the best things about being a Houston family photographer is getting to document a family as they grow and this family has entrusted me to create art for them during their most treasured times during their journey to parenthood and as a family.
We began with maternity portraits and then a newborn session once their precious little one was born. Mom then chose to document baby’s first year with me as well so I got to see this little guy grow into the adorable one year old that you see here in these photos. Each time he came in to the studio for his session he was bigger, more animated and more mobile. It’s truly amazing how fast they grow.
Mom made a great decision to not only preserve those memories of her little love as he grew, but also to take the time to preserve these memories as a family. The first year of parenthood is not only about growth of your child, it is about personal growth as you develop and change with them. Looking at these photos again warms my heart and makes me truly appreciate how privileged I am to be a part of these moments in my client’s lives.

The other half of my heart arrived just a minute after his sister on the most important day of my life: the day I became a mother. Documenting my son and daughter in photographs was such a special occasion for me as a mother, and as a Houston newborn photographer, because I had been waiting for this day for years.
As he slept I took in the noise of every inhale and exhale, so grateful for this little life. I was able to capture a fleeting smile while he dreamed and those dimples…oh those dimples that he gets from me…they stop me in my tracks every time.
He has his Daddy’s blue eyes that make my heart melt and he is quickly becoming a momma’s boy; which, by the way, I am completely okay with.
We are blessed beyond words to have our two little miracles and I thank the heavens each day for these souls that have entered our lives. It is incredible watching them grow and change each day and show us more of who they are and who they will be.
Two things are for sure: these children will be loved beyond measure every day of their lives and they will be photographed consistently to preserve these memories.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for these gifts of ours.

My world changed forever on June 15, 2016. It was the day I became a mother. Being a Houston newborn photographer, I have watched the joy and pure love exude from so many mothers as they hold their newborn children but getting to experience all of those emotions first hand was an entirely new experience.
My sweet June was the first of my twins to be born; she was exactly one minute older than her brother. Seeing her little body emerge from mine and hearing her cry for the first time was absolutely surreal. I had spent months feeling her kick and grow inside of me and waiting for the day I would get to meet her. She was well worth the wait.
June has the sweetest disposition and holding her fills my heart with warmth. I love watching her discover the world and I can’t wait for all that is to come- although, I am hanging onto every moment. I intend to capture every stage in photographs so that I will never forget these days.
I can’t thank her enough for making me a mother. It is my life’s new purpose to foster her and her brother’s dreams, as they have fulfilled all of mine.

As a Houston newborn photographer, and a mother of infant twins, I know how busy life can be with little ones. The first few weeks and months of a family’s life when they welcome their newborn are full of so many amazing moments, but also complete exhaustion and feeling like days fly out of the window. It’s always the intention of mothers to print the photos from their photo sessions but between the feedings, incessant laundry and sleepless nights it quickly falls off of the priority list. All too often your baby is almost a year old when you realize that you never printed their newborn photos.
That is why each photo session with Moments in Light Photography includes prints. I want my clients to walk away with something tangible to put in a frame, hang on their wall or flip through in an album on the coffee table. I also include all digital files with each collection for safekeeping and piece-of-mind. I believe that clients shouldn’t have to worry about where to print their digital files, or worse get them printed poorly at a drug store and be disappointed with the way they look.
Each collection that I offer includes at least 2 fine art prints and a keepsake box full of each image printed professionally. In the viewing and ordering appointment I walk my clients through all different choices of product options and help them select the best choice for displaying their photos in their home according to their preferences and their budget. A session with Moments in Light Photography is full service and my goal is to leave you with beautiful memories that you and you family can enjoy on a daily basis.

Big cheeks, soft baby skin and toothless smiles – all of the things that a mommy loves to kiss and hold on to – and all of the things I love to photograph as a Houston baby photographer! This little girl was so happy to be with her mommy during her photo session and I had such a great time behind the lens capturing the love and connection between this momma and her baby. Her cheeks were absolutely to-die-for and she looked so adorable in her little knit bonnet.
Sometimes in our busy lives we can forget how incredibly sweet the first year of a baby’s life is and getting outside without any distractions of the modern world and playing with your baby puts everything back in perspective. No cell phones, no tv, just the noise of soft baby giggles.
Rather than overly posing the session I let mom and baby interact while giving some light direction in order to capture the essence of their connection and the honest moments of joy between them. Mom had hair and makeup professionally done in order to look and feel her most beautiful for these special moments. They will be photos that she will hold close to her heart and her daughter will someday look back on and see just how much she was loved.

Bringing home a newborn baby is undoubtedly an amazing time in a family’s life full of so many emotions and so much love; however it can also be a stressful time. As a Houston newborn photographer I understand that as new parents, or parents to a new baby, sleep is at a premium and everyone is adjusting to life at home full of constant feedings, diaper changes and – the bane of my existence- incessant laundry! That is why at Moments in Light Photography I have made the experience of getting newborn portraits done as easy as possible for my clients.
My studio provides everything needed for newborn portraits from wraps and blankets in soft colors and textures, clothing for little ones as well as a full wardrobe for mothers and shirt options for fathers. The last thing that new parents want to have to think about is what to wear for portraits, so I stock my studio full of timeless clothing in neutral and soft color tones that photograph beautifully. Parents can either choose their outfits before their session at a styling appointment or the day of their portrait session. My goal is to make the process as enjoyable and easy as possible for my clients.
The clothing is not only for newborn portraits but also for maternity and baby portraits as well, so not matter what stage you are at I have options to choose from. I also offer hair and makeup for moms from a trusted makeup artist who can come to your home or the studio to make you look and feel your most beautiful.
Please contact the studio for your next maternity, newborn or baby portraits for more information and to book your next session.

One of the best things about being a Houston baby photographer is getting to photograph babies as they grow. I was privileged to chronicle this little boy’s journey into life from the time he was in his mother’s tummy during her maternity portraits to his newborn portraits and then photographing him through his baby stage.
We scheduled the photo shoot in the mid morning around his nap time so that we would get lots of smiles and energy from him – and boy did we get it! It has been so fun to watch the changes and progression in this little guy each time he comes to get his portraits done in the studio. I can remember when he was a tiny newborn and slept through his session like it was yesterday. This time I could hardly get him to stay in one place as he crawled around so full of life and happiness.
I was so glad that his mom chose to get document all of his first year milestones with the Baby Plan so that no memorable time in his first year was left out. She now has a collection of beautiful portraits from his first year of life to hold on to – when he soon gets too big to hold.

Children begin as a wish within a heart and grow to become the most important piece of it. New life is always a tremendous gift and as a Houston newborn photographer I am privileged to get to be a part of this amazing time in a family’s life.
Tiny feet and hands, soft cheeks and little eyelashes – all of the little details of a baby’s newness deserve to be treasured.
Being a parent is both magical and trying all at once. Every sleepless night is instantly sweetened when your baby grabs your finger and looks into your eyes; your tiredness is replaced by a feeling of connection and love that is overwhelming. You would do anything for this little baby that only weeks ago you hadn’t yet met.
Becoming a parent brings a newfound sense of being , a new purpose for existing. The love that you felt for your unborn child is magnified from the first time you lay your eyes on the incredible creature that is now a forever part of your life -a part of you.

There is nothing quite like the smile of an expecting mother; the joy seems to radiate from her. Her love for her unborn child grows daily and her changing body is a constant reminder of the miracle growing inside of her- the life that will forever change hers. Being a Houston maternity photographer allows me to share in this magical time with my clients.
This mother was expecting her third child and was definitely glowing with happiness. The beautiful neutral colors in the imagery were chosen in order to compliment her femininity during this amazing time. The wardrobe was kept to soft and flowy textures that were comfortable to wear and accentuated her baby bump. Natural light pouring in through the windows created a soft and gorgeous accent.
As this experienced mother knows, the child in her womb will soon become a tiny newborn who will start to grow before her eyes. She will go from holding her child’s feet in the palm of her hand to tying their shoes in the blink of an eye. By taking the time to have her maternity portraits taken she will forever have these precious memories of carrying her child inside of her womb when she can no longer remember what it felt like.

How adorable is this family?! Shoots like these make being a Houston family photographer a breeze because this family was so full of love and happiness.
They were styled with coordinating neutral colors so that the focus of the photos remained on the emotion of the family without any distracting elements. Mom had her hair and makeup professionally done and her confidence in front of the camera really shows. I always recommend that clients invest in hair and makeup because the difference is huge – not only in the way that you look but the way that you feel – which always comes across in the photos.
This young family is so blessed to have three adorable children and their love for each other was obvious. I like to capture families in as natural of a state as possible, so in order to get these smiles and laughter mom and dad interacted and played with their children. My goal is always for the children (and adults) to have fun as a family during their photo shoot and forget my presence. Years from now mom and dad will cherish these family memories of their little ones.

I have been taking photos of this darling baby girl since she was only a few months old. Watching babies grow is one of the best things about being a Houston baby photographer. This little one was full of energy, curiosity and excitement during her shoot in the studio.
A blanket, a bed or a stool are ordinary objects to us but to a 12 month old they are things of wonder. Capturing the pure joy and excitement over the ordinary is infectious. Children have a way of reminding us to be more present, live in the moment, and find joy in the little things. Sometimes they make me wonder who is teaching who?
This session was styled with clothing pieces from the studio wardrobe and the color palette was kept simple and light. I let her play and have fun so I could capture her in her most pure state, not realizing that the camera was there.
These photos will be something that mom can look back on years from now to remember her little girl at this stage and all that she loved about her.

There is something about the Spring that makes being a maternity photographer that much sweeter. The sunset in the field was beautiful and golden. All the elements of nature were bustling with new life.
This couple is expecting their first child and it was a pleasure to capture their joy and happiness. The field in The Woodlands provided a wonderful backdrop for our session.
The mom-to-be came to the studio for a styling session prior to the shoot. We selected beautiful pieces from the studio wardrobe that flattered her frame and highlighted her baby bump. The neutral tones in the clothing helped to keep the focus of the photos on emotion. Each client that books a photo session with me has access to the studio wardrobe and I highly encourage all to take advantage of it.
The expectant mom also got her hair and makeup done the day of the shoot in order to look and feel her most beautiful – and her confidence shows. Paying careful attention to styling details prior to the photo session and doing a little extra preparation makes a world of difference in the final images. I want my clients to always be thrilled with their photos so I provide help and direction in wardrobe and styling. Besides the studio wardrobe, I also have a trusted hair and makeup artist that I work with to make the process as easy as possible for my clients.
I can’t wait for this couple to welcome their child into the world and to one day show their child these photos of how happy mom and dad were to be expecting. There’s nothing more beautiful than the joy of new life.

It was a beautiful and golden night for these family photos in The Woodlands. The love and joy radiating out of these young girls was so fun to capture, as was their beautiful family connection. A tickle, a glance, a light in the eye last for only a second but are so telling of the bond that families share. These moments are fleeting but they are why I love family photos with young children. The way that they laughed, smiled and affectionately loved on their parents will be precious memories for mom and dad to hold dear for a lifetime.
I worked with mom to carefully style their clothing for the family photos. We used beautiful neutral clothing from my studio closet as well as pieces that were hand picked to create a cohesive look. Mom also took advantage of using my makeup artist so that she would look and feel her best for the family photos.

I’ve always loved photography and when I started my business I honestly thought that was enough. I chose to specialize as a Houston newborn photographer and baby photographer because I love being around the incredible purity of babies and providing lasting memories for families – again, I thought that was enough of a reason for my art. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Over the past year I have been on a personal journey to have a child. Unfortunately I have an infertility condition that effects 10% of women my age. My husband and I are in our third round of IVF. We had our latest embryo transfer yesterday and I am on bed rest as I write this.
Being a newborn photographer who is struggling to have a child of her own is a precarious position to be in. Many people would (and have) suggested that it is not “good for me” to continue this type of work during my struggle. That I should distance myself from babies to make it “not so hard”. I whole-heartedly disagree.
It has been through my darkest times and my deepest sorrow that I have realized the magnitude of the gift of motherhood. Each painful procedure, each test result revealing heartbreaking news and devastation, has only deepened my understanding of the blessing of children; made my passion for my art that much stronger.
As I photograph a maternity session now my intent is to make everything else melt away and show how amazingly beautiful the vessel of the female body is and celebrate the gravity of what it holds inside.
When a couple comes to my studio with their newborn child I shoot with complete understanding of the miracle that they hold in their arms. Their newborn is a piece of art in itself, not something “guaranteed” but something truly gifted to them.
As I get a 4-month-old baby to look at me and smile I feel as though they are connecting to my soul from another, greater place because I can appreciate what a treasure they are to this world and it provides me with great happiness. It’s as if they are letting me know that everything is, and will be, okay.
Until now I have kept my business and my journey separate, out of fear of making others uncomfortable. I realize now that it is this journey that fuels my art and has given it authenticity. My work has changed for the better and continues to grow, as do I.
My why is now a part of me.
Whatever the outcome of my journey, I am dedicated to becoming a mother; whether through my body or otherwise. I am certainly not alone in my infertility and I hope the developing sisterhood and support of women who experience it continues to grow. Being brave enough to be open about it helps all of us.
One of the best parts of being a Houston baby photographer is getting to see my clients as they grow. This little boy is particularly special to me as I have photographed him before he was even born – when he was in his mom’s tummy. I can’t believe it has been 7 months since then! For a trip down memory lane check out mom’s maternity session.
This little one was full of excitement and baby wonder during his session at my North Houston studio in Montgomery, TX. He really wanted to talk to me! He had grown so much since his last shoot at 4 months – see it here.
Getting to see these babies so often during their first year is one of the most rewarding parts of being a baby photographer and I can’t wait to see him again at his one year photo session. Wow how fast time flies…

I met this beautiful baby girl when she was only a few months old in Old Town Spring in North Houston. I was thrilled when her mom signed her up for the Baby Plan because getting to see babies grow and change throughout their first year is one of the best things about being a baby photographer.
The first year of a babies life goes by in the blink of an eye and you want to remember all the little things about each stage that get washed from your memory with day to day life. The Baby Plan includes 2 baby photo sessions documenting the most important stages in the first year, so it’s great for those that don’t want to miss a thing!
This baby girl’s beautiful blue eyes sparkled when I got her to smile! I can’t wait to see her again at her next baby session in a few short months.
I shared some photos of her session on Facebook as well so you can check them out there. BUT, since only a tiny portion of you now actually see my Facebook posts, the best way to stay up to date is by following me on Instagram.

Newborn baby girl alert! There has been something in the water here lately in Houston that has been bringing so many baby boys into the world! It was so nice to get to switch things up a bit in the studio and photograph a newborn baby girl session.
I was thrilled to get to use my girly dusty rose and lavender wraps and delicate organic hair tiebacks. Not to mention those lace white pants perfect for a newborn baby girl courtesy of Zoik.
She surprised her parents by entering the world a few weeks early. But she was happy, healthy and HUNGRY newborn at 12 days young during our shoot.
Her parents traveled from downtown Houston to my studio just outside The Woodlands. She was very content once we got her nice and sleepy with lots of milk.
Isn’t she pretty? I really enjoyed capturing special memories for the family of this sweet newborn baby girl.

This newborn baby boy and his brother and sister were a pleasure to photograph in the studio a few weeks ago. If this baby boy grows up to be like his older brother he will have a lot of personality (and an adorable smile!). Gotta love those little dimples. Unfortunately Dad was not able to make the shoot but we started with some photos with Mom and baby was instantly comfy and sleepy in her arms. We made sure to keep the studio nice and warm and he slept like a dream.
We also were able to catch a few smiles when he was being held by his sister – I think the common thread is he likes being held! Such a sweet newborn, gorgeous Mom and adorable siblings. What more can you ask for?!

There’s something so special about the interaction between siblings and a newborn baby. The way that they look at their brother or sister with such sweet awe and the sense of protection that they have over them instantly …it just melts your heart. These two sisters were so good with their little brother in the studio and when it was their turn they posed like little angels. Seriously, how precious are they?!
This gorgeous family’s third child was just as adorable as the others – and he came in to the world with a beautiful head of hair! I love family newborn photos since they capture such a momentous time in a family’s history. Between diaper changes, chasing a toddler and busy school schedules, this fleeting time with their newborn will be a whirlwind but when they look back years from now they will have a tangible memory of this incredible time in their lives. Those tiny feet and little nose won’t be forgotten!

This little seven month old was a sweetheart during her photo session in the Montgomery studio. Mom utilized the studio closet full of baby clothing options and we picked two outfits that were absolutely adorable on her. One of the perks of being a Houston baby photographer is getting to dress babies in these precious clothes year round. We kept the props minimal and the color scheme soft and neutral to fit the family’s color scheme in their home.
Since the family had never done newborn photos before this was her first photo shoot and she did great giving us lots of sweet faces and smiles. She loved laughing at dad’s funny faces and playing peek-a-boo with the camera. Her beautiful blue eyes and wild hair are such a cute combination! I wonder what she is going to look like at her one year baby photo shoot…I have a feeling I’ll be getting a lot of exercise chasing after her.

I love newborn photo sessions that involve an adorable older sibling and this session definitely fit that description! Upon my arrival at the family’s home for their lifestyle newborn session in Rice Village, I was greeted at the front door by a very energetic and outgoing two and half year old. He recently became a big brother and was very excited about our photo session. Not to mention, he was super cute!
The family was dressed perfectly for their photo shoot since mom chose a pastel color palette that was soft and sweet just like their newborn baby boy. Clothing makes such a difference in photos which is why as a Houston newborn photographer I always help direct families to make good choices that will photograph beautifully. When everyone is looking great and is comfortable it is easier to get those natural shots of the family interacting with each other, as if they forget that I am even there with a camera.
I set this family on the bed in their master bedroom and let them interact with their newborn and toddler. I love the sweet and intimate moments of connection between the parents and the children and feel so honored that I get to capture these precious times for them. The best part was when I let the two year old big brother hold his newborn little brother. He was so fascinated with his baby brother that when I was finished he asked if he could keep holding him for a few minutes longer. It just about melted my heart!

This mother to be dressed perfectly for her outdoor photo session in Houston. I loved her choice of white flowing sheer maternity dress from Etsy that allowed me to beautifully showcase her baby bump in her maternity portraits.
The woodsy location created an earthy backdrop for the photos and her choice of clothing for the photo shoot matched well with the theme. This sweet couple’s joy and excitement over their baby to be was so fun to be a part of and to photograph.

It was my pleasure to photograph an old friend and her beautiful family in the studio recently. Their new addition is a sweet baby boy who joins his 2-year old big brother and both are just too cute for words. I had big brother hold his little brother for the first time and got the chance to capture some photos for mom that will become their first visual memory of brotherhood.
Years from now the photograph of the first real connection between these two brothers will be a meaningful and important family heirloom. Not to mention the first professional photos of mom and dad holding their new baby boy in all of his tiny newborn glory. I’m so glad that this family moved back to Houston so that I could create these photos for them!
What a fun day in the studio with this little 2-month-old baby girl who was full of smiles. Those blue eyes were a dream to photograph and my funny faces made her giggle. Mom came equipped with angel wings for this family’s first little angel during her first photo shoot. The studio has been full of baby boys lately (it must be something in the air in Houston) so it was really nice to have a photo session with a baby girl all pretty in pink!

Happy Birthday to you! Cake smash photos with this one-year-old baby boy were so much fun! The photo shoot was in the studio so that the baby would be in a comfortable environment while taking photos of him enjoying his first taste of cake and icing – and he really liked the icing!
After his first curious dig into the cake he was having fun playing in the cake and tasting all that sugar. Mom brought along Daddy’s tie for him to wear which added an extra sweetness to the photo session. Before the cake smash we did a few photos with simple props and let him explore the studio. The beautiful morning window light wrapped him up and gave a soft and natural looks to the photos. We were able to capture some beautiful genuine smiles and cuddles with the teddy bear for some very sweet photos of this baby boy.

This one-year-old boy was all smiles during his studio photo shoot just outside The Woodlands, TX. We started by letting him explore the studio space and get comfortable. His mom brought along his favorite toys and he had fun playing with different props in the studio.
It didn’t take much to capture the pure joy and excitement coming out of this baby boy and his big blue eyes! The big smiles and happiness in this baby boy’s photos make it clear that he has really enjoyed his first year of life!
Keeping the props minimal and the outfit simple really lets the expressions of the baby remain the focus of the photos. Photos of a baby’s first year are so important since they change and grow at such a rapid rate and we want to bottle up those memories and milestones. I had such a great time smiling and laughing with him- the joy of a baby is so contagious!

‘Tis the Season to be jolly! As the air got cooler in Houston, I was excited for holiday photos in the studio. I absolutely love the holidays and the magic that this time of year brings. I had a lot of fun making the studio festive with twinkle lights for this family holiday photo shoot.
I have had the pleasure of watching this family grow – literally- as I photographed their maternity shoot, their son’s newborn shoot and now their family photos of their 4 month old baby boy. Wow how time flies! It’s such a joy to be able to create lasting memories of these special and fleeting times for families. I think this happy, smiling cutie pie will be crawling and walking in no time!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of doing a maternity portrait session near The Woodlands. One of the joys of being a Houston maternity photographer is all the beautiful outdoor locations to shoot in. The expecting couple has an adorable little boy who participated in the photo shoot and was full of energy, loved smiling at the camera and kissing his mom’s belly.
It was a joy to get to photograph this growing family during such a special time in their lives and to capture some precious moments of the family with the baby bump before their new addition arrives.
I highly encourage husbands, significant others, and siblings to be a part of maternity portraits. Showcasing your growing baby bump during maternity as well as your growing family is so important to create lasting memories that you will cherish for a lifetime. Take a look at more maternity portraits and schedule your session by contacting me at the link below.

This newborn baby boy was full of curiosity during his first photo shoot in the studio but once we wrapped him up he was off to sleep. He had the most beautiful skin tone and the sweetest little sleepy face – perfect for photos! I was so happy to capture some lasting memories of these precious and fleeting baby times for this wonderful family.

Remembering this bright and sunny day this past Fall for an outdoor children’s photo shoot just outside of The Woodlands, TX. My clients had just moved to the area and wanted a rural Texas feel for their portraits so we chose an open field with views of big skies, hay bales and tall grass.
The children’s mother picked some coordinated outfits for the photos which was great as the brother and sister’s wardrobe went together adorably- gotta love those little cowgirl boots! Since the day was bright we needed some sunglasses, which added to the cool and confident vibe of these two kids. I chose an old red wagon as a prop for the photos and let the children have fun with it in the field.
My favorite photos are always when I catch a genuine moment when children forget the camera is there and we were able to capture a few of those this day. There is nothing like capturing a genuine smile, laughter or sweetness between siblings in a photo shoot to create lasting memories for the family. What a fun afternoon and a great first Houston photo shoot for this family.

I love having tiny feet and tiny hands in the studio and this sweet newborn baby boy’s photo shoot was no exception. He loved being wrapped and held in mom and dad’s arms and I was glad to capture these special sleepy poses for the family.
The joy that newborns bring is contagious and it is such an honor to create the first photos of a baby’s life as well as the first photos of the new family that has been created by their existence. Life is so incredibly sometimes, isn’t it? See more newborn photos here.
