This family wanted their family portraits done on their property near Weston Lakes. Their driveway was gorgeous and perfect for pictures! Avesta came by to do momma’s makeup and hair and both sisters hair! It’s so nice to get all dolled up for portraits. You deserve this experience!
We did each of their little ones individually and they rocked it! Look how cute they all look.
Cruz took a little convincing, but he did amazing! Look how stunning his momma is!
Look at these sweet sisters together! August Lakes Katy Texas photographer. These two are beautiful!
Of course I had to get a sibling shot. Mom did so good on their outfits! I love them! Little Cruz in between his sisters.
Mom and dad needed some solo shots together. I am so in love with how they turned out. I can’t’ wait to see these in person!
Here are some candid family shots in their driveway. I really love how they turned out. The golden sun really showed off this day. I love the golden hour portraits! Isn’t momma gorgeous in her couple portaits?

Brittany and her family drove over 3 hours from Fort Hood to come to Houston for her maternity portraits.
When clients drive this far for my portraits, it is such an honor. It is also very nerve wrecking ha ha! There is no reshoot option for these sessions! But I think…no I know…we NAILED these!
I also got to take Brittany’s maternity portraits when she was pregnant with Lorelai and of course Lorelai’s newborn portraits. This round, she is having a little boy! I cannot wait to meet him.
Look how beautiful Brittany looks. I am obsessed with her entire gallery.
Lorelai was perfect during mommy and me portraits and family pictures. She had the cutest smile and the sweetest poses. Look at this one? Mom wants this one blown up!
Here are some more favorites of Lorelai. She even took some with here daddy.

I love capturing children. I love capturing their personalities and who each of them are. Each child is unique and deserves a session that captures them as who they are. This is how you will want to remember them as they grow.
Style and Consult Consultation:
I always include a complimentary style & consult consultation with every portrait session. That way we can discuss your family or child’s likes, needs, wants, and your vision. This will help create your vision into life! After all, these will be hanging on your wall for years to come and shouldn’t they be perfect?
We will also sit down and go over your wardrobe for your portrait session. This will allow me to help you every step of the way in designing your portrait session. For children, I do have stylish gowns and tiaras for most girls as well. Here is an example below. For women, I have a variety of gowns to choose from.
This dress is hand made and designed by Annie Banannie Clothing. She is amazing! If I don’t have what you want, she creates customs as well!
Birthday sessions are my favorite.
Locations:
Locations are everything! Thats why in our consultation we will go over the vision you have for your portrait session. From open fields, water, forested areas, or city centers, we will find what meets your needs. I love being creative for your session.
Here is a location near Jordan Ranch that I love! Jordan ranch is technically Fulshear, but it is closer to Katy than Fulshear. It doesn’t make sense ha ha. These old oil tanks are beautiful! I love bringing old antiques into our new world visions.

MJ’s Photography – Photographer near Memorial Texas
I met this beautiful family when I was located in East Texas. Now we have moved near Memorial in Katy and they have relocated to College Station. What a small world! They traveled to Katy so that I could capture their family pictures.
They have two twin boys! Aren’t they adorable! That little boy tie is the best. It showcases his little personality so well.
They came dressed to impressed. I cannot even handle their outfits. Mom always does the best job coordinating their outfits for their family portraits. I always love their outfits! Momma is on it.
Look at this gorgeous couple. I’m so in love with how they turned out. This one needs printed large! Just perfect. I always like to include just mom and dad for picture’s. Look how cute these twins are!
Momma with her boys. So sweet. I love so many of them. I can’t even pick a favorite. Which would you choose? Mommy and me pictures are so sweet.
Daddy and his boys. I love these candid shots of them. Those smiles are the best. They love including plants and sticks in their pictures. It’s the cutest.

I can’t even begin to choose a favorite image from their family session.
Which is your favorite? Leave a comment below.
This location is located right in Katy. Can you guess where it is? I bet you have been there without even knowing it! I love capturing families candid and posed.
Here is one of their wall art collages from my imported wood block collection. They chose a vertical style and I love it! Such a beautiful way to portray your family portraits when you have lots of favorites!
I love capturing just mom and dad together. Sometimes the last time they got a portrait of just them together was their wedding…YEARS ago. It’s always a good time to update.
Ok Dads…look at these. Daddy with his girl. His teenage girl. Is this not the sweetest thing? Dad wanted a big canvas of the black and white image. So in love!
Color or Black and White?
Every family wants pictures of siblings. Look at these two.

3.5 years…. 42 months…. roughly 1,260 days…. It took less time than many couples who are plagued with infertility to have a child, but we still felt every moment of that wait. After trying to conceive with IVF last spring and being told at 32 that my egg quality was similar to that of a woman ten years my senior, we immediately decided to pursue adoption.
We became active with our agency August 9, 2018, just four months after our failed transfer. In January 2019 we attempted to get licensed with a foster care agency because there was 5 year old girl we desperately wanted to adopt- Aubrey. I had dreams for months after our IVF transfer that had a little girl, about 5 years old, that was our daughter. When I saw Aubrey’s face in a news story searching for an adoptive home I immediately recognized it. It was her. The little girl in my dreams…. our daughter. Since the embryo we transferred was a female, I had always assumed the connection was my subconscious telling me she was okay and that it was okay for us to continue to pursue adoption. When I saw her face everything in my soul told me this was more than a coincidence. We put our names on hold with our agency and decided to pursue foster-to-adopt in the hopes that we could become Aubrey’s parents. I just KNEW that she was meant to be ours. She resembled me when I was little in addition to being identical to the girl in my dreams. Getting licensed through foster care takes months and by the time we were close to having everything completed, a home had been selected for Aubrey. We were heartbroken. We called our agency and asked to have our names put back on their list in March. She told us the previous two months had been a very busy time with the agency and that she had placed multiple children in that time frame. I remember being so frustrated with our detour and doubting our decision to take a two month hiatus.
MJ’s Photography – Houston Photographer
On April 23 my husband and I were both at work and I got a call. I didn’t recognize the number and I was in a patient’s room so I did not answer. I finished up with my patient and went into the break room to check my voicemail. It was our agency asking me to call back ASAP. My heart was racing as I hit redial. She didn’t answer. I was so anxious that I could barely catch my breath when the number showed up on my caller ID again. I answered with my voice quivering as she told me about a “unique situation” she had and asked if we would be open to it. It wasn’t an infant, but it was a little boy that was 5 months old. She had already talked to my husband (which is why she didn’t answer the phone when I called) and he said he would rather her talk to me about it. To spare details I will say the adoption had some risk of us not being able to keep him.
It was a risk I was ready to take without hesitation.
My very logical husband wanted to discuss every angle and possibility, but ultimately said the decision was mine. I called the agency back and asked when we could pick him up. We drove 3.5 hours each way to pick him up the very next day and he has been our son since the moment we laid eyes on him. Legally we remained in a risk period until the end of August so the first four months we were on pins and needles waiting for a call that could potentially turn our wold upside down- either we would be able to keep him through the next legal step, or that we would have to return him to his birth family. We soaked up every moment we could with him.
When the end of August came and we finally finished the legal battles, there was an overwhelming sense of relief. In the state of Texas it’s required that a child live in your home for six months before you can finalize their adoption. October 24 marked six months and the judge ordered that he was officially our son on November 7, 2019. The wait was long and we doubted ourselves and our decisions at every turn, but ultimately we had to endure it all.
Every little turn, every detour, every time we felt we took one step forward and two steps back- it was all part of the journey to our son.
Our perfect baby boy who has his Papa’s grin and my innate ability to fall asleep 3 seconds into a car ride- just one different step or hesitation could have thrown us off our course to him. We are thankful for every second of this journey, thankful for every sign that the universe sent telling us to keep going and not doubt ourselves, and thankful for the love and support our family and friends have shown and continue to show for us and our son.
Most especially we are grateful to his birth momma, C, who put his needs before her own and made one of the most difficult decisions a mother can ever have to make. We cannot imagine life without this precious gift that she so selflessly gave us, and she will always have a place in our hearts!
Here is the adoption day through pictures! MJ- Houston Photographer

Here is a review –
I cannot say enough amazing things about MJ and her team! We just welcomed our precious daughter Ava in October. Since this was our first baby, we wanted to make sure that we captured this special time in our lives. The minute I initially spoke to MJ on the phone, I knew she was the perfect fit for what we were looking for in a photographer. She is so genuine and engaging and I can tell that this is her passion and you can clearly see that passion captured in our photos. The entire process from beginning to end was an absolute dream. Her and her MUA, Avesta, made the effort to make sure our pictures came out exactly how we wanted them. Not to mention MJ was so patient with us as we struggled to narrow down our choices for our maternity and our newborn sessions. I am not kidding when I say that was the HARDEST part. All of them were so amazing! Once we were able to narrow it down, her and her hubby made a special house visit to help get our pictures up on the wall. Like I said, an absolute dream! It’s one thing to just be a talented photographer but it’s entirely another thing to be a talented photographer that cares about her clientele the way MJ does. I highly recommend MJ for any occasion you want to capture. Thank you so much MJ! We will always cherish this time in our lives and are so grateful we have the perfect photographs to capture this moment.
I am a portrait photographer who lives in Fulshear, Texas, right outside of Katy and Houston. I specialize in maternity, newborn, headshots and family portraits. I service Fort Bend; Cypress, Katy, Fulshear, The Woodlands, The Heights and Houston areas.
I started my business, MJ’s Photography, in 2014. My love for my daughter Emma Lyn, ignited my passion for photography. Just the same as I treat her portraits, with passion, love, and creativity, I strive to bring out each person’s unique identity and capture their true personality. These encounters drive my passion for photography and challenge me to use my tools in new ways. This is my artistic expression.
This is not a job for me. I love outdoor family and maternity portrait sessions, and in-studio newborn sessions. I want to create that perfect image for my clients to hang on their wall for years to come. Their happiness creates my happiness. I have created heirloom photos for many families who will pass them on for generations.
