Newborn studio near Katy – MJ’s Photography

Expecting a newborn in or near Katy, Texas? Consider MJ’s Photography for your newborns first portraits.

Remi was such a doll at her newborn session. At 3 weeks old, she weighed around 6 pounds. She had the most beautiful skin and dark brown hair.

Being a Newborn studio near Katy in Houston Texas means I get to snuggle lots of newborns. She was 3 weeks old and slept very well during her session. We got so many great snuggly poses during her portrait session.

Remi was wide eyed during the beginning of her session. Her eye contact at 3 weeks old was spectacular! In their family picture, she had amazing eye contact with me.

Just look at these gorgeous baby eyes.

Big sister is absolutely beautiful and was quite the model! Just try to pick a favorite! I know I can’t.

I love when mom decides to get in on the newborn portraits. Look at how beautiful she is! She is wearing one of my couture gowns that are exclusive for my clients.

I love when I am able to capture a newborn with their eyes open. Sometimes we focus so much on the asleep newborn pictures, that we forget that we want to see what their eyes looked like during this stage too. Don’t get me wrong, I do want them to sleep for most of the session, but I do like some showing their eyes!

It’s important to find a newborn photographer that matches the style that you are wanting. These are once in a lifetime portraits for your precious baby. They will never again be this little or new.

I have a posed newborn style and I like contrasting shadows in my portraits. Deeper, darker editing style is what I tend to lean towards. I make sure to capture every detail, from their lashes to their toes. Overshooting is a habit and I tend to give a larger gallery to choose from. I just can’t help it! Babies are beautiful and it is hard to stop.

It is all in the details…it is so important to capture every single one. Nothing is too small. Love love love the details!

Family portraits…the most stressful day of the year. Am I right? You just want everything to go perfectly, like they do on Pinterest. Well….lets be honest, it never works that way. We worry about outfits, hair, makeup, weather, and of course naps. Why do we do this? Well, the result is why. The memories. They last forever.

Your kids will look back on these and smile. They won’t remember the stress, the struggle, or the anxiety. They will remember their happy family. They will one day show their children these portraits. It is all worth it.

I try to take a much simpler approach to family portraits. There isn’t a shot list. Sure we try to get everyone looking in the same direction and looking happy, but mostly we want the candid moments. The connection that you all have as a family, that is what I aim to capture. You can see from their gallery, I like to capture a lot! They are a gorgeous family!

Look at this sweet moment between a mother and her daughter. This isn’t posed. This is real life. Camyrn and her mommy.

And daddy with his precious daughter. Her laughter. His love. It radiates through.

I also love capturing the little ones by themselves. They grow so fast. The next year their looks and personality will have changed drastically. It is so important to capture them in the stage that they are in. 6 months is a huge milestone. Their personalities are showing, they can connect with you, and their rolls are so adorable to capture! Camryn is such a beautiful baby girl!

Look at her eyes. Ahhhh they are stunning!

Twins! Doesn’t every one love twins? Every time I see twins in the store, I just have to peak. There is something so amazing about twins.

When I get a client that is expecting twins, I get so excited. To be able to photograph not one, but two precious babies warms my heart.

Sara told me they were expecting their second set of twins and I was overjoyed to photograph them! I had photographed their first set of twins in 2015 and now I was getting to photograph their second set. Their first set was boy/girl and this time they had two baby boys.

Look how perfect they are. 3 weeks old and just at 4 and 5 pounds.

Their first set of newborn twins are named Lincoln and Kennedy. Their second set of twins are named Grant and Ford. All presidents!

Look at these adorable twin newborn foxes! I cannot even!

Here is twin A, Ford. He weighed 5lb and 8oz at birth. He was full of smiles during his newborn session.

And here is twin B, Grant. He weighed in at 4lb and 11oz at birth. He was so flexible. He folded into this pose and I was over the moon.

Ford and Grant both slept so well for their twin newborn session in Longview. I got so many different images of theses sweet twin boys. Once they were snuggled together, they would drift off peacefully.

Awww just look at baby Grant’s smile!

My favorite pose, the potato! With twins it is double potato!

Momma joined in. Isn’t she gorgeous? I cannot believe she has two sets of twins!

Here are some behind the scenes during their twin session.

Katy tx family photographers – MJ’s Photography featuring Annie Banannie

MJ’s Photography is an Katy tx family photographers located in the Fulshear, Texas area.

Doing photography of children is such an amazing experience for me. I adore getting to know all of my clients children and truly love capturing their big personalities. Any one who has a child, knows this is no easy task. When children are put into new and stressful environments, they shut down. This is exactly what we do not want.

I take a different approach when photographing children. I say this a lot and I mean it, let them be little. We will let them run, play, and explore. This is when we capture them in the most precious moments.

When taking special portraits of children, I love finding the perfect outfits. I am always searching for beautiful and unique pieces to photograph. While displaying my portraits on the walls of Early View Ultrasound in Houston , I happened to see some gorgeous dresses being featured in their boutique section. This is how I found Annie Banannie Clothing! (Click the link to visit her website)

I personally love dressing my two girls in outfits that are unique, high quality, and of course beautiful! That is exactly what Annie Banannie dresses are.

**A little about Annie Banannie. **

She only creates a handful of outfits for each design. If you find one you love, grab it while you can. Once it is gone, it is gone forever. This helps keep each outfit unique.

Her clothing lines are made to be sturdy, fashionable, and able to be washed in the washing machine. A must for any mom. Yet, each outfit is intricately detailed with it’s own unique array of lace, ruffles, and appliqués.

MJ’s Photography is a family photographers katy tx serving the Houston Texas area.

Getting family pictures done is so important for yourself and for your children. They will have these memories to look back on when they are older. Trust me, they will want them.

Every mom stresses about their family pictures. After we mentally prepare for family portraits, we start looking for that perfect photographer, which is a job in itself. whew! We want someone that matches our style, our vision, and who can make us look beautiful! Don’t forget MJ is a family photographers katy tx that services the entire Houston Texas area!

The next thing we think about is the outfits. What colors will we wear? Do these colors all match well? Does my outfit make me look bigger? Does this color wash me out? Guess what, your photographer WILL help you do all of this…and if they do not, you are not with the right photographer! When my clients inquire, I stress the fact that I am more than willing to send examples. I want you to email me pictures with what you are thinking, I will help you tweak your choices if needed.

Fast forward to the day of the session. First priority…making SURE our kids get their naps. If they don’t, forget it. Nightmare session is happening! Am I right?

Somehow in the midst of either work or taking care of the children all day, we are to find time to get ourselves looking gorgeous. This means bringing out the nice makeup we rarely use, finding the curling iron that has collected dust, and putting on our best outfit. If this is a huge stress on your plate, hire someone to do your hair and makeup or even get a friend to help you do it.

We then have to keep everyone clean until after the session. (ya right!)

After it is all said and done, you will LOVE these. You will cherish them forever. I try to help my clients out as much as possible. If it is helping coordinate your outfits, finding you the perfect makeup/hair stylist to make your portraits extra perfect, or meeting your kids beforehand, I am there to help.

I also take a different approach to family portraits. I prefer lifestyle. What exactly does lifestyle family pictures mean? (Besides less stress?) Well, it means that we play, we laugh, we have fun. There is no “shot list.” Sure we will try to get everyone looking, but if that doesn’t happen, it doesn’t matter!

I am looking to capture raw emotion. These emotions/shots cannot be staged or posed. These come from playing with your children. That sweet embrace, the innocent giggle from being twirled, or that huge grin from being chased are the pictures that you will fall in love with. That is what makes these portraits extra special. These are the images that families always choose for their wall art. It’s the ones I choose of my own children.

Guess what? One day your children will be all grown up and family portraits will be staring at the camera with a smile. The pictures where you are holding them, hugging them, and kissing them will no longer be an option. Just let that sink in for second. They will be either to big to hold or too cool for you to kiss on. Go grab your rowdy toddler or your teething baby and get your family portraits done! Capture these precious memories while they are here.

Another thing I love to do during family portraits is capture just mom and dad! Once you have little ones, you forget to capture just you two as a couple. I aim to fix that.

Now come book your family session!

Fulshear family photographer with Santa – MJ’s Photography

MJ’s Photography is an Fulshear family photographer with Santa.

I love the Christmas season with Santa! It is such a merry time of the year. I enjoy seeing my girls with Santa so much. You know what I loathe? The lines for Santa! You wait an hour for your little ones to see Santa and then they get all of 10 seconds with him. I do hate that part. I decided this year to book an authentic Santa and Mrs. Clause in order to avoid those lines for myself and for my clients.

The little ones had time to warm up to Santa, where if they didn’t have that, they would have just cried! Of course there were still some children that were terrified of Santa, but the pictures are still so cute!

I mean…look at Jasper. I cannot even handle those two little teeth poking out.

Here he is eyeing Santa…right before he decided to cry!

Fulshear family photographer with Santa – MJ’s Photography

Family portraits with Santa are so cute too! Brittany even brought her furbabies along for their picture with Santa. This little cutie loved Santa! She was all smiles.

Santa had a toy for every child that visited him. This made the visit extra special for them.

These portraits are so much better than in the mall location. Santa is outdoors, in a beautiful location, and actually gets to interact with your child. It’s something they will remember forever.

Madison wasn’t so sure about Santa! So mommy joined in on her portraits 🙂

Here are my two girls with Santa! I had to capture one of them as well! My oldest girl loved seeing Santa. It is all she talks about now.

Fulshear family photographer – MJ’s Photography

MJ’s Photography is a Fulshear family photographer.

I love capturing family portraits. Not your typical staring at the camera smiling picture, but your real family. I love family pictures when you interact with one another, smile at each other, and love on each other! I do capture a couple of everyone looking at the camera, but that is not my main focus.

How perfect are they! To me, this is the picture perfect family portrait.

Jameson is already one month old here. Big brother is still so in love with him. Of course the weather turned extra chilly the day of their session, but they toughed it out.

Look how adorable this sibling picture is! The pumpkin hat is perfect for fall.

It is a must to get portraits of just mom and dad. Once you have little ones, it’s so hard to get pictures with just one another. Aren’t they perfect?

Sugar Land newborn photographer

MJ’s Photography is a Sugar Land newborn photographer located in Katy, Texas.

When finding a Sugar Land newborn photographer you want to make sure that they will not only capture perfect images of your precious baby, but also that they are trained to pose your delicate newborn safely.

Newborn portraits are more than just wrapping your little one up and sticking them in a bucket. There is a method to the wrapping of your newborn. Their little chins should be up so that their airways are always clear. Their necks should always be supported in every pose that takes place. Safety should always be a number one priority.

Jameson’s mommy suggested gray for one of his setups. I absolutely love the way he looks in gray! He has the most perfect little lips and the cutest profile.

Sugar Land newborn photographer – MJ’s Photography

Of course I had to put him in gray for his potato sack pose. He slept right through this pose and loved being wrapped up snug.

I can never choose between black and white and color images and most of the time they look amazing in both!

I love when parents want to get in on the poses. Mom wore one of my couture gowns for one of her poses with Jameson and she looked AMAZING! Flawless. We got so many great images of her with her newborn baby boy.

Daddy joined in as well. They are just perfect.

Jameson is lucky enough to have a big brother! He is 7 and so very charming. He was amazing during the session and snuggled up to his little brother.

Doesn’t it just melt your heart seeing these two together. Sibling love. And those matching shirts!

We went through quite a few set ups with Mr. Jameson. He was around 2 weeks old and had the cutest, chunkiest cheeks. Look at his faces in these! I am in love.

Capturing every detail during their session is important! Those little feet will soon be walking, his little lips will soon be talking, and his little hands will soon be into everything. You have to capture every detail while they are still new.

I am swooning over Jameson in this neutral setup! Gahhh he is so handsome.

And of course he needed to pose with this bear.

When he woke up, we got some gorgeous images of him with his eyes open! Look at his eye contact!

Fulshear baby photography – MJ’s Photography

MJ’s Photography is a Fulshear baby photography

Ohhhhhh 6 months old. What a fun age. Their little personalities are coming to fruition. The laughs, the giggles, and all the smiles. It is such a fun age to capture. They are half a year, not a newborn, but not a toddler quite yet. Baby rolls are still in tact and they can’t quite get away from you, most of them anyway. Elise is sitting up so well and has been since she was 5 months old.

Fulshear baby photography

Elise is already 6 months old and I absolutely cannot believe it. Time really flies. She has the bubbliest personality and is the calmest baby! Her dimple chin gets me every single time! I look back at the past 6 months and cannot imagine my life without her. She brings so much joy not only to me and my husband, but to her big sister. I love how much they love each other.

Just look at her hair. Her nickname is Mo…because of her adorable mohawk! No we do not style it that way, but we definitely do not try to lay it down either. That hair is her and we love it just how it is.

I love being able to capture this precious milestone. Before you know it, they will be walking and into everything. It’s such a sweet age. Cuddles are still an option! Just look at that smile. My hearts melts every time I see it.

For half a year sessions, they can either be outdoor or indoor in my studio in Houston Texas. Katy to be exact. Some times, weather permitting, we do a little of both!
