Emily and Jacob were expecting their first baby in May. They are having a baby boy! I am honored to be chosen to capture this amazing time in their lives.
Emily is stunning at 36 weeks. Just look at her glow.
We did a variety of locations for Emily’s session. The first place I chose was a tree lined path that I thought went perfectly with her floral dress. This dress shows off her baby bump perfectly!
Aren’t they perfect?
Outfit change into a blue gorgeous lace dress! The sun was backlighting them perfectly.
Since it was just them two, as we were driving to the next location, I saw a gorgeous ivy lined fence and we jumped out to capture some there. I am so glad we did, just look how they turned out.

Next we went to a forested area. Central Texas is the perfect area for this. We found some gorgeous light peeking through the forest, I love these so much!
Look at these two together. Soon there will be three. I can’t pick a favorite.
Another outfit change and this Burgundy dress is perfect for the field. Look at this backlit shot.
Here are some more favorites from the field.

Sweet Emma was a joy to photograph. She came in at 6lb and the most gorgeous set of cheeks that I have ever seen! She was even born with a tooth! I am still amazed at her tooth.
We started off with some sibling portraits of Emma and her big brother. He is 3 and was such a little ham for these. You can tell that he loves his sister. They took maybe 5 minutes to capture, he did such an amazing job.

We also did some with mommy and Emma. Isn’t she stunning?
Emma was an amazing sleeper for her newborn session. We started her off swaddled and then slowly unwrapped her as we went along.
Here she is in pink. This romper and this headband look darling on her.
Headband by Lucky Crickets.
I then put her in purple and Oh my did she look beautiful! Look at her darling cheeks.

Emily and Jacob welcomed their first baby into this world, Charlie. They did not decide on his name until they saw his sweet face. It fits him perfectly.
We started with some family pictures with Charlie. His very first family portraits and they turned out perfectly.

Neutrals are always included in my setups. These newborn setups look great displayed in any room, regardless of the decor or color choice. It also really brings out the baby in the images.
Here are some more neutral images in the potato sack pose. His little profile is the cutest. Fulshear newborn photography

I love putting newborns in little boxes and bowls. It shows how little they truly are. Look at him in this tiny little crate.
And this tiny little bear! It’s just so sweet in his tiny sweet hands.
His little newborn toes are adorable.

I met Shaina back in High school. Her mother was my basketball/volleyball coach and what a coach she was! Shaina also coached some of my volleyball summer leagues. When Shaina inquired with me about her newborn and maternity portraits, I leaped! I love that she chose me to capture these even though we are separated by about 4 hours!
We took her maternity portraits in Dallas at the cattle drive! It was an amazing location and perfect for her!
Sweet Brenna had to be delivered in Houston due to a heart issue they found at 20 weeks. Here is her story:
“Hi! My name is Shaina and I received the privilege from God to be Brenna’s Mom. You see I am 36 and finally a first time mom and not by choice. Brenna is actually my third child but the first that I have carried to term. I figured it wasn’t in the cards for me to have my own children and then after losing my own mom to cancer, I really didn’t think I wanted to be a mom without her here with me.”
“Then after 6 years of trying I finally got a positive pregnancy test! I was so excited and scared all at the same time! My feelings overwhelmed me and I wanted to do everything I could to save this child and hold him or her in my arms. Since I am older, my OB thought it would be a good idea for me to get an in-depth ultrasound at around 4 months, we already knew that we were having a girl at this point, but we just couldn’t decide on a name. After the ultrasound was done and we had been waiting for almost 2 hours for the doctor, he came back with news that made my whole body go numb.”
He said, “There is something wrong with your daughter’s heart, she has no right side.” ” My first thought was ok what do we need to do to fix it, my second thought was, was this my fault? Brenna has a heart defect called Hypoplaste Right Heart Syndrome and it’s very rare. The doctor’s didn’t know much about it and so they sent us to Texas Children’s hospital in Houston. My husband and I were devastated and spent that ride home just crying. The people at Texas Children’s in Houston are amazing and taught us that Brenna can have a great quality of life but it wouldn’t come without many obstacles. So we made a decision as a family to move to Houston a month before her due date. On the 28th of February I gave birth to the most precious and perfect baby in the world!”
“She had her first surgery at only 10 days old and spent the first two months of her life in and out of the hospital. She will have her second surgery at only 6 months. So in the meantime we are living in Houston and staying close by her doctors.”
“This definitely has not been the traditional route to becoming a first time Mom, especially without my mom here. I have had my days of crying and wondering why me? Why Brenna?”
Precious Brenna at 3 months old – The Woodlands photographer
“Then I realize how lucky I am..God chose ME and my husband to be her parents because he believes we have the strength to do so. He picked Brenna to go through this because she is strong and we will all give the glory to God about her amazing testimony! Hopefully this brings more people into God’s wonderful kingdom. I couldn’t have done any of this without the amazing support of my family and friends and all the amazing prayers they have prayed for Brenna. I am a proud momma of an amazing heart warrior! And I am so happy that Mary Ann was able to capture this wonderful pictures of her. God is so good!!”
Sweet Brenna finally made it to the Houston area for her newborn portraits at 3 months old! She has quite the personality. After some work, I got her to sleep and captured some of the most amazing portraits of this strong, beautiful baby girl. Here is her gallery!
She was all smiles for me! Look at this sweet face.
Oh did she look gorgeous in these neutrals. She has such a classic and natural beauty with perfect features.
Mommy joined in. Looking as gorgeous as ever. All smiles with her beautiful baby girl from God.

Good morning! I got a chance to be on the news! Oh my goodness I was a nervous wreck.
They had me just walk into this room and counted down. Boom time to just say what I do as a 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.

Sweet Matthew’s family drove a little over an hour for his newborn pictures. I’m always honored when I am chosen to capture a little one’s very first portraits, but when they travel to me it makes it even more special.
Matthew came in at 2 weeks old with big brother Benjamin who is almost 2 years old! Both parents are also Aggies, WHOOP, so of course we hit it off right away!
Big brother went first. We all know that 2 year old’s lead the show, so I wanted to give him time and space to see which setup best suited him. He was completely against laying down lol, so we put little brother in a bucket and waited! Aren’t they adorable?
Here is their family shot! A couple plays of peek a boo and Benjamin was all smiles!
Big brother was being extra cute!
I love the singles of moms and dads. It’s such a special picture. Sweet Matthew will look back onto these when he is older, it’s an important memory to have.
Isn’t mom gorgeous?
Daddy’s boy.
We dressed little Matthew up as a bear. There is something about a newborn baby in a bear hat that makes for the cutest picture. I’m obsessed.
MJ – Katy newborn pictures
Look at him in this bucket! He has the most perfect profile. This is just a standard pail. Isn’t it amazing how these sweet babies can fit in there? I love using these to show their true size.
And you guessed it…another bear hat! I can’t help it. Just look at him!
I love baby smiles, don’t we all? He gave the cutest grin and I’m so glad I captured it.
Oh the details. I love capturing all of their tiny details. Perfection, he is absolute perfection. Those toes!!!!
MJ’s Photography- Katy newborn pictures
Awake shots. I love awake shots. Some photographers will stop shooting and work to get them back asleep, I say capture those eyes! Eye contact isn’t the best at this age, but if you work hard enough, you can get it! Look at how cute he is.
I love including some composites in all of my galleries! I can’t wait to see these printed out!
Here are some more favorites from Matthew’s newborn gallery.

And of course another variation. Sweet simplicity.
Every detail is important. From Foster’s tiny lips to his adorable toes, I want his Mommy and Daddy to remember every single one. I can’t pick a favorite.
Richmond newborn photography
Mom and dad told me they both graduated from Texas A&M University, so an Aggie setup was definitely used in his Newborn session. Aggie fan here Whoop! This might be my favorite.
Look at his little Aggie fan shirt! Initials and all.
They own their own business, so they requested a special setup for a unique ad. It was a first for me and I really enjoyed it!
Foster’s first family portraits.

Look how perfect Jaxson looks in neutrals. My amazing husband found each board and built my floor drop for me.
Jaxson has a big sister and isn’t she gorgeous? I adore these sibling pictures of these two.
We all know my favorite pose is the potato sack pose. I mean….just look how adorable his profile is. So perfect in every way. And that little smirk! AAAHH
I just love when these sweet babies smile. It’s even better when it’s with mommy. Just look at how perfect Jaxson is with his mom.

Daddy was all smiles with his baby boy. I can see the resemblance.
This family one is so amazing and so real!
It’s all in the details. The toes, fingers, nose, and the lips. It’s all important to capture, they change so quickly. Soon those little lips will be talking, toes will be walking, and those little fingers will be grabbing.
Baby toes. I am obsessed with them. They deserve a huge spot because they are just adorable. Is there anyone who doesn’t love baby toes? His chunky toes are the best!
I love making a composite for every gallery. He looked so cute in this bear outfit, this composite fit perfectly!

He wasn’t the biggest fan of being naked, but we got this image and I am so glad! Those little back rolls are perfect in every way! (The only time in life they are ha ha!)

When you are expecting a baby, it is such an amazing time in your life! At the time you are tired and you do not feel like yourself, but the truth is that you are amazing! You are creating something bigger than yourself, a tiny little newborn baby. That is what I love about my “job.” I get to capture these short, but amazing moments in peoples lives.
I love that I get to meet mommy’s before their little one is here. I capture them while they are carrying their precious baby. Every maternity session is different, every mommy is different, and that is what makes it so special.
Meet Allana. As you scroll these you are going to think “WOW she is gorgeous!” She most certainly is. She made pregnancy look so good. I loved capturing her carrying her princess.
Grayson was so excited to be a big brother. I’m not sure he fully understood what it entailed, but he put on a show regardless! He was quite the ham during mommy’s maternity session in Houston Texas.
There are so many favorites from Allana’s maternity session. Let me know which one is you favorite in the comments!
Here are some from the forest in the purple couture maternity gown.
I love this one of mommy and Grayson. He kept kissing her belly in the sweetest way and then running away!
We then went to another location with a field in Cypress, Texas. Grayson loved running around! Mom changed into a gown by Couture parfait and she looked gorgeous in it!
Isn’t this a perfect family portrait? Just look at Grayson’s face! He is perfect.
I told mommy to put on her model face and she delivered. I am in LOVE with these. She has a gorgeous baby bump!
Now on to Avery’s newborn portraits! Miss Avery decided to come early. She made her grand arrival at just 3lb! After some NICU stay, we finally got to schedule her newborn session. I was very excited to finally get to meet her.
She definitely makes the quote “Though she be small, she is mighty,” true. She took a little persuading, but we got an amazing gallery of her. With lots of patience and extra cuddles, her gallery was very full!
Look at that smile! Isn’t she perfect?
She was so tiny at her newborn session! She was around 5 pounds. Look how beautiful she looks in neutrals.
If you guys knew what it took to get this portrait of Avery, you wouldn’t believe it! Mommy knows and I think that makes it just that more special. Mommy wanted a naked shot and I am so glad that we got it. Right after I got this, she leaped right up!
If you thought she was gorgeous in pink, just wait until you see her in purple!

Look at this little girl’s personality! Ah I love her eye contact!
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.
Katy best newborn photographer- MJ’s Photography
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!
Here are some more from her amazing gallery!
