Deer park newborn photographer – Lorelai

MJ’s photography is a Deer park newborn photographer. I have an in home studio just outside of Deer Park in Katy, Texas.

Lorelai did amazing for her newborn portrait session. We went through a lot of setups in my in home studio and she slept for most of it! Her parents decided to wait to find out if she was a girl or boy at birth. Mommy and I thought for sure she was having a sweet girl, Daddy was certain she was a boy. Mommy was right!

Her daddy is in the military, so we had to include a setup with his helmet! (dog tags blurred out for safety reasons)

Mommy loves flowers, things of the sea, and navy blue! Daddy loves navy blue and his newborn baby girl in pink!

We did a soft pink set up for daddy. She looks so sweet all curled up with her newborn toes.

Mommy works for a dive shop and everyone said she was having a little mermaid. I’m sure you can guess where I am going with this!

I love curling up these sweet newborn babies into bowls and baskets. It shows just how small they really are.

Capturing those tiny little details is so important in newborn photography. They grow up so fast and you want to remember every little thing about them. The newborn stage is over before you blink.

I love the potato sack pose for newborn sessions. It shows off their profile so well. Here is the setup with their navy blue! Look at those precious lips and eyelashes.

I provide all of the props for newborn sessions at MJ’s photography – Deer park newborn photographer. I bought the sweetest little leggings for a setup. Her mom said she looked like a sweet baby deer.

Most newborn photographers want their newborn babies to be asleep the whole time. I actually prefer when they are awake for a little bit. Capturing their open eyes is just another detail that you do not want to forget. Their eye color changes and so do their little expressions. Look how cute Lorelai’s newborn expressions are.

Family portraits are so important during newborn sessions. Your baby will cherish these when they are older. Here is a little share of their family portraits in black and white.

MJ’s photography is a Katy newborn photographer that specializes in newborn and maternity portraits.

Max was such a treat to photograph. He had the most perfect newborn lashes. They were extra long!

It’s so important to capture all of the details of your perfect little newborn. They grow up so fast.

Max is perfect in blue.

Big sister joined in on Max’s newborn session. She is so in love with her little brother.

During big sister Avery’s newborn session, she was photographed in this exact basket. Max curled up perfectly in it.

This vintage bucket may just be my favorite prop to include in newborn sessions. They are only this little once.

Who doesn’t love the simplicity of just seeing their newborn baby without any props? I know I absolutely love them! Those tiny little newborn back rolls!

Have you ever seen a ball cap look so cute? Max is adorable in it! From his eyelashes to his toes, he is just perfect.

Every newborn mom loves their baby in a bear hat. There is just something extra cute about it.

Mom gave me free range with colors and of course her skin tone looked amazing with every setup! I love her sweet newborn curls in the mauve.

Mom wanted to wear one my couture maternity gowns for portraits with her newborn baby girl.

I am so in love with how they turned out. It is so important to capture these moments with your newborn baby. That first month goes by so quickly. Before you know it, they are one.

Even grandma joined in on her granddaughters newborn pictures. This will be such a special picture for Zailey when she is older.

The neutral setup with lots of white may be my favorite! She looks gorgeous with those newborn curls.

Who doesn’t love a newborn baby girl in pink? I know I do! She even gave us an adorable newborn smile during her newborn portraits!

Cypress tx best newborn photographer – Elise

Cypress tx best newborn photographer -MJ’s Photography

MJ’s Photography specializes in Maternity and Newborn photography in the Houston Texas area.

Deciding to do your own baby’s newborn portraits is no easy task. When she finally falls asleep, all I wanted to do was sleep! In order to get her pictures done, I had to forgo the nap for a couple weeks and dedicate myself to getting great images of her.

My main priority was a sibling picture with my 3.5 year old. I was so excited when I got it! Here it is below. I have it printed large in a canvas print. I am in love with it!

Elise is a very alert baby. She is a tougher newborn to photograph. I always tell parents that not every baby will go into every pose. That proved true for my baby girl. Luckily there are lots of different poses to try and I got quite a few of her.

Here is her potato sack setup! I love this bear hat from http://www.joiedeknits.com/

Her daddy is an aviator in the Army. I had to include a setup of her in her daddy’s helicopter helmet.

My baby girl’s nursery is decorated in pink and gray, so a pink setup was a must! I did quite a few different poses in pink. Who doesn’t love pink on a baby girl?

You can see by my newborn portfolio, that I am a huge neutral fan. I love how neutral colors look with every newborn’s skin tone.Minimal props is another thing that I am drawn to. Having the babies as the center of attention is my main goal. This setup is after my own heart.

A baby in a bucket? Who doesn’t love seeing a tiny baby in a bucket. We will blink and they will no longer fit. Using little bowls and buckets shows their size comparison at that age.

Of course a naked baby setup is always a favorite. I couldn’t help but do one of those! Look at that baby hiney!

I like to bring all of my mommies in to try them on before their maternity portrait session, that way we find the best one for you. There are lots of different styles and colors to choose from.

Ayshia fell in love with the teal gown and it looks amazing on her. She has the perfect skin tone for it. She is due next month with her first baby.She is having a baby boy and his name is going to be Mason.

Baby Mason is so loved already. These two cannot wait to meet him.

I absolutely adore the blush maternity gown on Ayshia as well. This was one of my favorite shots of her. She is just stunning.

I absolutely love her genuine smile. I told daddy to make her laugh and he did easily. Their love just shown throughout the whole session.

Ayshia also chose the white lace gown. Doesn’t she look amazing? She put it on and I just knew these water shots were going to be perfect. This was one of their favorites.

Looking for a newborn photographer near Cross Creek Ranch in Fulshear? | MJ’s Photography

MJ’s Photography | Looking for a newborn photographer near Cross Creek Ranch in Fulshear?

Miss Avery was an amazing newborn model at 6 days new. She was my very last newborn session of 2016 and I could not have asked for a better baby! She was gorgeous. Look at her sweet profile in the potato sack pose.

Looking for a newborn photographer near Cross Creek Ranch in Fulshear? What does that mean?

I am a boutique photography studio located in Fulshear, Texas. This means that I only accept a certain amount of clients per month. This method ensures that each client will get fantastic customer service and a customized experience.

I customize everything we do to exactly what you are looking for. Before your session we will have a pre-consultation. This is when we will discuss your vision for your portraits and create your custom experience. I offer several options to create the perfect art for your family. This can include wall art, heirloom albums, and fine art prints. After your session, I will sit down with you and help you select which products are perfect for your family. Your chosen images are all hand edited with techniques that I have learned and perfected over the years.

I am with my clients from beginning to end. Every client leaves with beautiful products and prints. There is something so amazing about getting to see your gorgeous images in your home every single day.

Sibling pictures were first with big brother. He wasn’t so sure at first, but we got the perfect portrait of them two together! Mommy printed it out huge on a 20×30 canvas. I’m sure she lights up every time she walks by it in her home. How could you not? Both babies are smiling!

I love getting a variety of shots during newborn sessions. From baskets, to bowls, to backdrops, I make sure you have a variety to choose from. A variety of images makes a beautiful album. Avery’s heirloom album turned out perfect.

I think the navy setup was one my favorite! There is something so beautiful about a little girl in blue!

She was born around Christmas time, so we included a holiday setup even if her session was a few days after Christmas. She is perfect all wrapped up in a Santa sack!

Here is another sweet setup for Avery. This first pose is called the taco pose(I’m not sure why) but I just love how it shows off her gorgeous face, tiny fingers, and perfect little toes.

Some floral and pop of color went so well with her skin tone. Baby fingers and baby toes are just the absolute sweetest.

Mommy said she loved the purples, so I made sure to include a purple newborn setup. It turned out perfectly! Her little newborn toes look like a bouquet of toes!

Mommy mentioned her love for pinks as well, I think Avery can pull of just about any color.

Richmond newborn photographer | Virginia

Richmond newborn photographer | MJ’s Photography

I am still swooning over Virginia in purple. She rocked her newborn session with MJ’s Photography. I knew this image was going to be a favorite because of that little smile on her face. This one printed beautifully and I know mom is enjoying looking at it every day in her home.

This newborn pose is one of my favorites, it is called the potato sack. Don’t ask me who comes up with these names. I do think this one fits the pose perfectly though!

MJ’s photography is a Richmond newborn photographer and I am fully trained in posing your newborn. When I am photographing your baby, safety is the number one priority.

It’s important to know the difference between a lifestyle newborn photographer and a posed newborn photographer. You don’t want to book the wrong one!

Lifestyle newborn portraits

Your little one’s nursery is typically where these portraits take place. Moments are captured in your little one’s crib, casually with mom and dad in the nursery, or even wrapped in their favorite blanket. There is little to no posing, hence lifestyle. These photographers typically do not bring props or outfits. I am not a lifestyle newborn photographer, but can refer you to a great one if that is your vision for your newborn.

Posed newborn portraits

These portraits will most likely take place in a studio space. A studio setting helps keep lighting consistent because lighting is key in these sessions. Most professionals will provide all of the newborn props, newborn outfits, and backdrops. They also should be trained in posing your newborn. These sessions typically take 2-3 hours.

I truly enjoy being a posed newborn photographer. Each newborn is different, as we know. Some prefer their legs up, some prefer them to be down. Other babies like to be swaddled up nice and tight, while the other half of the babies are completely fine laying uncovered. Each session is different and a professional newborn photographer will get a feel for exactly how your baby will pose.

Virginia went into a variety of posing. I love the color palette that her mommy chose!

MJ’s Photography | Richmond newborn photographer

Customizing your newborn’s session based on your preferred color palette is another thing that I do. I always try to include your newborn’s nursery colors in their session. When it comes to choosing your favorite portrait for a finished Fine Art Canvas or print, it will match perfectly to their nursery decor.

Virginia’s mom and dad requested this setup below. It is gorgeous!

We photographed big sister Lilly with antlers and they wanted them included in Virginia’s session as well. I just love how these turned out.

I always include some black and white images in my clients gallery. Their simplicity really draws you into the image. You focus all on your little one’s face and not on the colors and distractions around them.

Sugar Land maternity photographer

Sugar Land maternity photographer | MJ’s Photography

I cannot decide which one I like doing best. Being a maternity photographer or a newborn photographer.

There is nothing more exciting than getting to sit down and talk to a new mom or a mom who is having another baby, about what is to come. Nothing in this world is more exciting than talking to someone about bringing another life into this world.

For new moms, its that excitement of the unknown. For moms like Audra, where Virginia is her third baby, it is all about how the siblings will be with the new baby. It is about how life will change so much, for the better of course. It never gets old and its a conversation I love having over and over with different moms during their maternity sessions.

Audra’s maternity session took place in Central Texas. She owns so many acres of gorgeous property. The different shots were endless. This one is one of my favorites, a country sunset.

Longview maternity and newborn photographer — Sugar land maternity photographer | MJ’s Photography

Audra was absolutely stunning in her portraits. After each gown and pose, I would have a new favorite.

This shot of her on the tree turned out gorgeous! If you guys only knew the struggle behind this image. Thankfully her husband was there to help get her up and down, it was not as easy as it looks! But she was able to sit back, smile, and pull off an amazing maternity picture.

Sugarland maternity photographer — Sugar Land maternity photographer | MJ’s Photography

This pose with just the maternity belly is my favorite. I always document this one! Years later, it’s amazing to look back at and picture your little baby all curled up in your belly.

When she was in the eggplant couture gown, I thought it was my favorite. Then she changed into the gold couture gown and I was even more in love. She just radiates beauty.

At the end, she knew she wanted some maternity water shots and I am so glad she did because they turned out amazing!

Fulshear newborn photography | MJ’s Photography

Fulshear newborn photography – MJ

Sweet Sebastian came into MJ’s Photography studio when he was just 10 days old. He was such an amazing little sleeper for me. He curled up into the sweetest little poses. His little smile just made my day. Mom and dad went home with a canvas of that sweet smile. That is such a treasure to look at everyday!

He had the cutest little cheeks! They were just so squishy. He loved having his hands right up by his face, which was fine with me they made the poses even sweeter.

Sebastian looked so handsome in blue. He curled up into the newborn basket and gave me the sweetest little smirk. I’m pretty sure he is going to be tall, look at his long feet. I couldn’t get them.

Fluff in the basket picture is made by Oh So Fleeting http://www.ohsofleeting.com/

Daddy is a Arkansas Razorback fan so including this onsie in his newborn portraits was a must. When he gave me another little smile, I just knew daddy was going to love this one!

Fulshear newborn photography — All swaddled

Sebastian all swaddled up with a little bear hat. He has the most gorgeous lips that I have seen on a newborn.

The taco pose is always my favorite newborn pose. His tiny fingers, toes, and lips all in one close up image.

Look at these sweet little back rolls! Swoon! Why is that rolls just look so cute on babies? I am in love. That little lip pucker just makes me giggle. I love how his little personality shines through in these portraits!

Homecoming Photographer – Saddle Ridge Estates – Emily

MJ’s Photography | Homecoming photographer – Saddle Ridge Estates photographer

homecoming photographer Fort Hood homecoming photographer Killeen homecoming photographer — MJ’s Photography | Homecoming photographer

Living near a military town in Houston Texas, means that I get to capture a lot of homecoming sessions! Being a homecoming photographer allows me to relate to my clients on a personal and an emotional level. ( I cry during every single one!)

Here is how their homecoming session went.

I got there early with Emily and got to learn so much about her and her family. He deployed pretty soon after they got married. She started learning to do ballet while she was at home, which is so amazing! Emily said that after she got past the fact that she was in classes with young girls, it was fantastic. She moved home while her husband was deployed, which is what most military wives do since it gets lonely. She came home just in time for his homecoming ceremony.

Being a Homecoming photographer is a blast. Sitting there waiting with them, the anticipation just builds up for the both of us. The text messages saying that they are on the bus and the announcers saying that they are almost here, just builds up on all of that excitement!

Most homecoming sessions get moved three to four times once they are scheduled. That is the hardest part about being a Homecoming photographer. You have to be able to drop everything, rearrange other sessions, and find a sitter with only a couple of hours of notice. It is worth it in the end, but they are not for everyone!
