Princess L {Cypress, TX Northwest Houston Children's Portrait Photographer}

I'm in LOVE with this little sweetie!

Isn't she gorgeous?

She was so incredibly sweet, cute, and well-mannered. What a dream! But I just couldn't resist being silly and sticking my tongue out at her. I'm sure this is not the picture that her mom and dad will choose to have enlarged and gallery-wrapped over their mantle, but I love it.

Happy 3rd birthday, precious girl!

Cool Stuff! {Custom Portrait Photography in Cypress, Texas}

Did you know that in addition to ordering prints, you can also get some fabulous, high-quality custom items from your session? Here are just a few of the ways I love to display photos:




Mounting Options

Enhance your images by having them mounted to display as pieces of art! There are many, many options, and all can be customized to meet your needs.

My personal favorites:
* Styrene Board, which is a heavy plastic substance 2mm thick. I love this for displaying photos on easels. It makes the image sturdy enough to display alone, but thin enough to put in a frame if you choose.
* Standout is a thick, but lightweight board finished with a black plastic edge. It comes ready to display with hanging holes on the backside, so no frame needed! It comes in two different depths (3/4" or 1 1/2") so your photo can really "stand out"!


Float Wraps

This is a beautiful way to display images. Float Wraps add dimension by extending out from the wall. They are unique in that they appear to be floating on the wall with the main focus on the image! Create a modern display with a Float Wrap wall collage that is ready to hang once removed from the box!




Gallery Wraps

Gallery Wraps are available printed on a fine art canvas or as a metallic or lustre photographic paper, which enhance the look and vibrancy of your image.

Your image is wrapped around a wooden frame available in 1-1/2" and 2-1/2" depths, and you can mix and match lengths to create the perfect custom size.

These include a matte laminate to protect the Gallery Wrap from scuffs, scratches, and cracking. The laminate also provides UV light protection.

Framing paper covers the back of the gallery wrap with metal hangers and corner bumpers, or choose the wire hanger option without paper backing. Your Gallery Wrap will be ready to hang on the wall the minute it arrives, and adds such a classy touch!




Accordion Mini Books

These are the perfect items for you to use as mini folios and brag books, and they make great gifts! They are available in a wallet and a square 3x3" size, with tons of cover options. Accordion Mini Books also come with a plastic frosted slipcover, so you can throw them right into your purse or bag!
(Note: There is a minimum order on this item of 3 identical books.)




Since each item is completely customized to meet your needs, please contact me for pricing.

The Z Family {Cypress, TX Family Portrait Photographer, Senior Photography}

I got to spend the evening with a wonderful family. (Seriously, this is why I love my job!) Craig is heading off to college in the fall, so Mom thought it was time to get the family together for some pictures. What an awesome guy ... (and he was such a good sport about the whole thing considering it was his birthday!!)





Then there was Courtney, who was absolutely beautiful and so sweet. (Hey Courtney, are you getting excited yet about having the whole house to yourself when Craig's gone?)





Of course, these two are great because they have awesome parents. (Gavin, thanks for putting up with me!)






And here's one of my favorite things about these kids - they both had this on their letter jackets:



For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Father's Day Special!!


This year get Dad something he most likely wouldn't think to get for himself: beautiful portraits honoring him and the reason why he is a dad - his family and children!

Maybe he needs a new family photo to display on his desk at work, or even just a picture of the kids to remind him of his special role as father.

Maybe your dad has grown kids, or grandkids now. It's always the perfect time to capture the memories of today.

In honor of all the amazing dads in our lives, I am offering a Father's Day special: Book a session to be held between now and June 20th (Father's Day), and receive a free 5x7, a free 8x10 and 10% off your session fee!

Appointment times are limited, so call or email soon!

EatCypress {serving Cypress, TX}


I'm excited to have become a part of the EatCypress family!

If you don't know about this fabulous website, you've got to check it out. It's got a wonderful guide to local area restaurants, services, activities, and even a Kids Eat Free section, in addition to great coupons!

I use it all the time. For example, let's say I'm in the mood for a certain type of food, and know I want a place that's kid-friendly and close to home. So I just hop on their site and it's so easy to find exactly what I'm looking for!

You can find them at www.eatcypress.com or follow them on Facebook.

Two Little Divas {Cypress Children's Photographer}

I had a really fun session with these two adorably active girls. Each of them had their own precious personality. Big sis was a ham, striking model poses and being silly for the camera. Little sis was less interested in having her picture taken, and more interested in running around and exploring everything. They were so cute, and we had lots of fun!

Little Miss R {Houston Area Children's Photographer}

You may remember this beautiful girl and her mom and dad from back before Christmas. This time I got to focus (no pun intended!) on just her in an absolutely gorgeous setting.

One of the things her mommy had her do to relax was to sing her favorite song, When You Wish Upon a Star. Oh, how I wish I could have recorded it to share, because she absolutely melted my heart with her sweet voice. That's what she's doing here:



It was so much fun spending the morning with this angel!
