Houston Family Photographer
Yes, right now. Even when it feels chaotic or the timing doesn’t feel perfect. Because in the middle of the chaos and the imperfect moments is your little family. Loving each other. Growing each day.
My Houston and Woodlands TX family photography includes two distinct types of sessions, FAMILIES and BABIES + KIDS. Each curated session creates images that are natural and edited to enhance true-to-life colors, so your images will be timeless and focused on you instead of being cluttered with props or trends.
“Maria not only listens to you, she hears what you want and works to achieve the best experience for you both at the session and after.” —Rola
Laidback sessions
TO CAPTURE REAL SMILES
Family sessions are where the seeds of my photography love were planted. There’s just something so special about capturing the bonds of a family and reflecting all that beauty back through my camera.
Your family session is customized to you. I’ll help you prep by offering my guidance on choosing outfits, session location, timing, and even recommendations on how your images fit in your home. I’ll also share my tips on getting kids excited—since I know that can be such a stressor for busy parents!
During our session, we’ll be laidback and kid-centered. If your curious toddler wants to explore the park, we’ll follow along! Need a snack break? Take one! I have three kids, so I definitely know how it goes.
I always make sure to get images of the entire family smiling at the camera, but I also love to create a relaxed environment where we’ll capture a lot of natural candids and easy poses. It’ll be fun, promise!

“Taking family pictures with Maria was a wonderful experience. I have two busy college kids who needed a firm but kind hand in posing and cooperating. We have seriously walked away from several pictures without murdering each other in our minds, but this experience was very pleasant! She found a close venue and was ready for everything. We now have 18 heirloom pictures we will cherish for a lifetime. My kids may even agree to do it again in the future, which is a miracle in itself.” —Connie F.
The sweetest
SESSIONS
As a mom to three (nearly!) grown boys, I am so excited to get to love on your snuggly newborns and sweet littles. Your session will be tailored to where you are right now—whether that’s an early morning session with your sleepy newborn or some afternoon playtime with your rambunctious toddler. All of my baby and kid sessions are centered around your child, so we fit our schedule to them!
During the session, you can expect a mix of fun candids, open-ended play, and posed images. I always get on your child’s level to make sure they feel included and give them space to warm up to me. With newborns, we’ll find gentle, natural poses and always give time for Mama snuggles or feeding.
The most important part of my sessions is keeping your kids happy! Happy kids equals gorgeous images.
Babies + Kids

All Babies + Kids sessions are planned for around one hour, which I find gives kids time to warm up to photos and relax. You’ll receive my expert guidance and recommendations to create a session tailored to you. Two weeks after your session, you’ll receive your expertly hand-edited images in a secure, online gallery with fully downloadable images. Prints are priced a la carte and include my guidance on choosing images and ways to print. Get on my calendar! →
