Top Benefits to Booking a Full Session | Houston & Katy Family Portraits

Let’s Talk About Full Sessions!

I am here to tell you, that full portrait sessions are not just about more time, more images, more money. They are much more than that!

Here are the top 3 benefits to booking a full sessions. What’s best, is that these have come directly from clients just like you!

» Client Feedback #1: “I never expected my kids to act right for the whole 45 minutes”

It is a common myth (I hear moms say to me ALL THE TIME when scheduling a photoshoot) — “I just don’t think my kids will last longer than 20 minutes” — I am here to tell you, YOU WILL BE SHOCKED!!” I have a pretty good sense with kids and I try to make our sessions FUN, not work. If I see that a little one is having a particularly hard time, we will always pause and take a break. Having more time in the session, allows for little reset moments if needed! PLUS, more time allows for shy little ones to warm up to me and by the end of the session we are best friends!

» Client Feedback #2: “I loved all of the images, I just couldn’t decide on just 5!”

I don’t know about you, but I could do with one less decision I have to make. Booking a Full Session let’s you go into the session relaxed, knowing that you don’t have to make any image choices on the back end.

» Client Feedback #3: “I didn’t even know this spot was here!”

Location, Location, Location! In the 15 years I have been photographing families, I have been everywhere around town! I have kept a few of my favorites over the years and found more and more hidden gems! With a Full Session, YOU have a say in your location AND you get more locations to choose from! I reserve my most favorite(and most secret) locations for Full sessions. These premium spots allow for versatility and variety of images. And I LOVE shooting at all of them.

 

Here is a taste of the locations that Full Portrait Sessions get access to. Locations include Katy, Houston, Cypress.

The Secret to Authentic Family Photos

In every session I have, I always strive to capture authentic moments between you and everyone in your family. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I preach this quite often.

As a photographer, I know the moments to grab and the gentle prompts to give clients, however, a lot of those authentic moments happen because you….yes, YOU! When the client comes to their session with a positive and relaxed attitude, true magic happens. I’ll give you an example with this family right here. When I tell you this family brought it. They BROUGHT IT. And the thing is they probably didn’t even know they did.

Bring your Personality to your session

At the beginning of this session Ashley told me that they really just wanted a lot of interaction and that is exactly what they got. They were relaxed and just were simply themselves and look. at. what. we. got. SO MUCH PERSONALITY!!

Look, I know all of you play silly games and sing songs with your kids at home, so just have fun and do that in your session. So there’s the secret….just be YOU!!!

How to prep and what to expect for your shoot:

We will play games, have tickle fights, and tell jokes if we need to. I will even make animal and fart noises(#truth)!! I also come with my phone, so I love to play music to relax and have fun. Music is almost always a winner in terms of bringing out personality.

The best thing to do is come prepared with a couple songs and games that you and your kids typically enjoy. I will do whatever it takes to get the shot!

For instance, we played a little game of emotions with this guy!

Having Fun on your Photoshoot is the #1 goal:

Towards the end of your session, if we feel like it, we can let the kids loose! Let those kids, just be kids…and I will keep capturing those moments.

Bad weather + Rescheduling your photo shoot

Let me tell you, it is literally the worst feeling for me, and I’m sure for my clients as well, when I have a photo session coming up and I see a news report with a huge rain weather pattern heading our way. I look forward to all of my shoots as much as my clients do, and it is so disappointing to have to discuss rescheduling. I am an eternal optimist, so I am always hoping for the best, but sometimes it just doesn’t work out. This is the downfall of being an on location, natural light photographer.

Rescheduling your photo shoot

With something as unpredictable as weather, I make sure to keep a close watch on it throughout the week of your session. If I see bad weather coming, I will send my clients a note at the beginning of the week just as a head’s up and to keep a look out. I don’t like to say yes or no until, usually, the night before and sometimes even the morning of. It will really depend on the time of the session and how bad the weather is predicted to be.

Typically, anything above 50% chance is bad news. At this point we would talk about rescheduling photo shoots. The tricky days are when they are below 50%, but still 30-40%. As much as you might be stressing out, know that I am as well. If we don’t end up cancelling, not all is lost. Sometimes the best photos come from overcast skies and there is nothing wrong with that!

Cloudy weather photo shoot

If you’re session ends up not getting rescheduled because its not raining, but still cloudy, don’t worry! Magic can still happen! Some of my best images are products of a cloudy day. As much as natural light is a photographer’s dream, there is something to be said about a lightly cloudy day that lends an even lighting situation, with no harsh sunshine, which is ideal for photoshoots.

This is an example of how I can turn a cloudy photoshoot into a sunny feel. Bottomline, don’t sweat the cloudy days!

Clear & sunny skies

If the weather report is clear for your session, phew! You can breath a sigh of relief. Just know that when the weather is clear, timing is everything. The absolute best time to shoot, in my opinion, is within the first hour to hour and a half after sunrise or about 2-3 hours before sunset.

Bottom line, whatever the weather report shows, I’ve got you! I am absolutely always looking out for your best interest, and your images, when deciding whether to keep the shoot as scheduled or cancel and find another day that works for both of us.

Katy, Texas Senior Portraits | Reagan Tate

What a beauty! You really know you are an adult when you watch someone graduate from high school that you have watched grow up since they were a baby!

There’s something special about this girl and it’s more than the fact that I have known her since she was born. Her future is ahead of her and I know she will do amazing things! She leaves for LSU in only a few short weeks and I just can’t believe it!

Senior Portrait Photography

I’ve been out of high school for more years than I would like to admit. I have forgotten that exciting feeling of complete and utter opportunity of what’s to come. With senior portraits, I am capturing the first adult photo of their lives. Senior portraits is a chance for you to show your individual style, interest and personality, for some, for the very first time. Graduating high school is the start of the rest of your life. So exciting! Why not document it in the best way!

Houston Engagement Photography | Hasner

This was a first for me and basically I am hooked! I was asked to photograph a proposal and I am seriously so glad I did. I left the session totally inspired and in awe. It gave me an unbelievable amount of joy to have given this sweet couple their precious moment frozen in time.

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day this week, please enjoy the love!

Houston Newborn Session | Reyes

We know those first few weeks with a newborn are somewhat of a blur. Full of confusing feeding schedules and very little sleep. This is why for newborn sessions we always travel to your house. I love capturing you and your new little family in your element and where you are the most comfortable. After all, we know leaving the house is the last thing you want to do at that time.

This sweet family welcomed me into their home to photograph their first child for their newborn session. Baby Annie was so sweet and slept so soundly for me to capture the greatly sought after detail shots of those tiny little hands, toes and ears.

Sloane James | Natural Light Studio Portraits

I love doing shoots at these all-white, natural light portrait studios! They offer such a great clean backdrop that really allows the client be the focus. However, a dilemma came up when we were planning this one year old shoot, when my client wanted to do a cake smash. Most of these studios do not allow cake smashes on their nice clean white surfaces(understandably, cake smashes can be a pretty messy). Our alternative solution for this adorable little one? A flower smash, of course!

Needless, to say, it made for a precious display of absolute girly-ness, curiosity, wonder and exploration for little Sloane, as she was experiencing flowers for the first time.

With growth, comes change

I apologize for being a bit absent from the blog lately, but I have been working on something really exciting! Be on the look out for some changes from this direction. I’m talking NEW NAME, NEW SITE! As I have been learning and growing over the years as a photographer, I realize that my business needs to keep up! Still working out all the kinks, but over the moon excited about how everything is coming together. I will be ready to make the full reveal sometime this Fall! STAY TUNED! 🙂
