Candid moments are what I live for when capturing family portraits. A sweet innocent gaze from your little one can turn into a work of art.

Photographers Sugar Land Texas – MJ’s Photography featuring a family in the Sunflowers
Texas has the most gorgeous sunflowers! We traveled a little over an hour to a small town that has rows of them! It was a very small town, you can’t miss it. We parked on the side of the road and jumped right in. They are about an hour out of Houston/Katy!
We did some mommy and me portraits of Ashley and Evelyn in the sunflowers and they turned out amazing! No posing, just playing with mommy.
Sunset is the perfect time for portraits. It gives that hazy, warm, even lighting for images. Add in the sunflowers and it is so golden! I love the look of these.
Photographers in Houston
I love Ashley’s choice for outfits. The red pops out from the yellow sunflowers and looks fantastic. They look gorgeous!
I love sessions with mothers and their babies. The connection is so beautiful and the love just pours out. Look how sweet Evelyn looks with her mommy. It was hot in Texas, but they were amazing.

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.

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!
Avery – Katy newborn maternity photographer
Look at this little girl’s personality! Ah I love her eye contact!
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!

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.
Elise is 6 months old here and wearing an Annie Banannie 6 month skirt. If you notice, it matches big sisters dress above. The gorgeous lace gives this skirt the perfect touch.

This sunflower dress is gorgeous! It makes her look like a tiny baby doll.
Each season Annie Banannie comes out with a new line of clothing. Here is some from her fall line.
This green and white lace dress is everything! The lace underneath adds that special touch to the dress. It is perfect for fall or winter. It is a three piece dress.
Here is the dress with more of a winter feel. It is absolutely gorgeous. Your daughter needs one!
Here are a couple more of Annie Banannie’s Fall inspired line.
How beautiful is this one! Little girls and maxi styled skirts are rare, but I am not sure why! They look amazing. You can then pair this shirt and belt with jeans for a more casual look.
NOW it’s time to see her amazing Holiday line! I fell in love with this reindeer outfit and needed one for both of my girls.
Everything about this outfit is perfect! We even paired the shirt with jeans on somedays!
These outfits were perfect for pictures with Santa. Not only are they comfortable, but they look amazing! We got so many compliments. Elise is wearing a dress made from the shirt material.

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.
MJ’s Photography – Katy tx family photographer
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!)
MJ’s Photography – Katy tx family photographer
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!

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!

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.
Fulshear family photographer with Santa – MJ’s Photography
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.

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?
