Houston Family Sessions
Are you ready to experience a family session that your kids will actually love?
You never have to worry about how to stand or what to do with your hands - I will guide you every step of the way!
From the initial style guide you will receive before your session that I created with 7+ years of experience to our entire session together that will be filled with lots of love and laughter to receiving your final gallery, I will be there guiding you through it all.
Worried about your kids not cooperating or crying during your session? Trust me, I have handled it all! Honestly, even with my own son in our personal family session. I know how to handle every situation where you never have to feel stressed about someone not cooperating cause it definitely happens!
It's all about creating those genuine moments that don't feel stiff or forced and maybe even joining in on a game (or two!) that's fun for all ages!

Frequently Asked Questions
When will we receive our photos?
How many outfits can we have?
For family sessions, I recommend 1 outfit. For maternity sessions, 2 outfits. For kids mini sessions, we could do up to 2 outfits if time allows.
All galleries for all session types are delivered within 2-3 weeks!
What is the difference between the packages?
The Kids Mini Session is solely for kids birthday sessions and milestone sessions. Those are located at my home in Cypress with a paper backdrop and 20 delivered photos with the opportunity to purchase additional photos post gallery delivery. The Family Session package is all-inclusive where you will receive a minimum of 50 digital photos and we choose a location anywhere around the Houston or College Station areas. The Motherhood Collection is a mix of 2 Family Session packages and 2 Kids Mini Session packages at a discounted price so that we can celebrate all the little milestones during their first year of life.
How do I book my session?
When you are ready, reach out via the INQUIRE NOW button below. I will then email you within 24-28 hours to discuss packages and availability. If you don't see my email within that timeframe then please check your spam or the promotions tab just in case! Once a package and date are decided, I will send you a proposal that includes an electronic contract and invoice for the 25% retainer to secure your date. The remaining amount will be due 2 weeks before your session.
Can I print my photos?
Yes, you do have the right to print your own photos! However, I also offer a full-service experience once your gallery is delivered that includes wall art, framed prints, custom designed albums and prints. I have a full line of samples as well that I can bring to your session so you can see it in person, just feel free to ask!
I need help deciding on a location!
No worries, I've got you covered! I have a list of my favorite locations all around the Houston or College Station areas!
Do you charge travel fees?
I do not charge travel fees for the Houston Metro and College Station areas, but I do charge a travel fee for Galveston sessions.

I'm awkward in front of the camera, can you help?
Absolutely! I will guide you through the entire session from what to do with your hands, how to stand and where to look. As a mom myself, I know how wiggly little ones can get so we also incorporate lots of movement and candid, natural moments into our session as well. You never have to worry about a thing!

"Mary Beth was AMAZING!! We were on a long-weekend vacation to Houston and she was so flexible and helpful as I tried to squeeze time for new family portraits into our packed itinerary! She gave great location recommendations based on where we were going that day and was an absolute joy to work with. She was able to keep my 6-year-old daughter entertained an interested in the shoot and gave us portraits that we love so much and will cherish for a lifetime."
