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!

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.

Maternity photography cypress tx newborn maternity photographer

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!

We also did sibling portraits with Grayson and Avery. Grayson was quite the model for me at my Hallsville studio.

Newborn photography Houston – Zailey

MJ’s photography is a Newborn photography Houston specializing in newborn portraits. If you are looking for an experienced photographer for your newborn and maternity portraits in the Houston Texas area, check out my work!

Here is Miss Zailey. She came into the studio at a little over 5 pounds and just 8 days old. She was so teeny!

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.

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.

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.

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.Sugarland maternity photographer

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!

MJ’s Photography does Newborn photography sugar land that has a studio located near Katy, Texas. MJ’s Photography specializes in Newborn, Maternity, and Family portraits.

I got the pleasure of photographing Macee’s mommy’s maternity portraits, Macee’s birth, and Macee’s newborn portraits. Being able to document this amazing time in their life was truly a blessing. Macee had already changed looks from when I took her pictures during birth. They grow and they change so fast!

Her daddy is in the Army, so capturing her with her daddy in his uniform during her newborn session was necessary. I can not think of anything sweeter.

(Note- this shot was completely safe. Mom was standing right next to Macee)Newborn photography sugar land

Here she is all swaddled up sleeping on her daddy’s uniform. Look at that little foot print showing through the pink swaddle. <3

Macee’s mommy requested a portrait of Macee wearing her (Macee’s mom) outfit that she wore home from the hospital. I’ve never had this request before and it turned out amazing! It was still in perfect condition.

Newborn photography sugar land

Macee shared so many smiles during her newborn portrait session. She has this adorable dimple that just makes you smile every time she smiles.

Here are some other favorites from her newborn portrait session. I love baby toes! They are absolutely perfect.

When his mommy called inquiring about his newborn sessions, I was so excited! She had already bought a “Where the Wild Things Are” crown! Themes are so much fun, especially this one!  We wanted to do something a little different than the normal set up, here is what we came up with!

Look at that sweet smile! MJ’s Photography

Daniel had so much hair! I absolutely love photographing newborns with lots of hair, its just the cutest! He was such a sleepy baby, the poses were endless with him. My favorite pose is the Taco Pose (I’m not sure who comes up with the newborn pose terms, it is definitely odd!) Below is an example of what I am talking about. Isn’t he the cutest?

Newborn prop clothes are an addiction. I can’t help myself, I just adore them! I put him in some gray mohair pants and bonnet and we just swooned! But how could you not? He’s perfect!

Newborn photos katy tx

Sometimes simple is best for newborns, minimal props and just letting them be. Daniel owned this image with his adorable smirk and those gorgeous lips!

Newborn photos katy tx
I love this one in Black and White!

I always and I mean always have to do a swaddled up pose! It just reminds you of how small they are later on. Years from now, when you look back at your newborn’s portraits, you will truly see how much they have changed and how small they were! Newborn portraits are so important, they are typically done in the first 2 weeks!

Another shot I always get are their toes. I mean what is cuter than baby toes? Nothing! Gah they get me every time. So perfect and sweet.

MJ’s Photography is a Maternity photographer cypress tx.

When I talked to Alexa on the phone before her Maternity session, I knew this session was going to be a lot of fun. Alexa and Charlie didn’t mind going to a location that including hiking, so I just knew it was going to be epic! We were going to hike up to the waterfall in Belton.

Below is one of my favorites shots from Alexa and Charlie’s maternity portrait session.

Maternity photographer cypress tx

Of course being Central Texas, the day of their session was hot. Even in the evening, we were sweating. Somehow Alexa managed to keep her makeup perfectly in place and look gorgeous!

I provide the maternity gowns for my clients and Alexa chose the eggplant and the blush pink gown. She chose right, they looked fabulous on her. Below are a few of her in the blush gown.

I order most of my gowns from Couture Parfait, https://www.etsy.com/shop/CoutureParfait

In Central Texas, there are also some gorgeous streams. We stopped on one on the way up to the waterfall to capture some maternity portraits. I love the outdoor scenery by the stream.

Isn’t she gorgeous? Perfect baby bump!

The whole area is gorgeous. It was hard to choose which locations would be best. Here are some more maternity poses on one of the bridges.

At MJ’s Photography I strive to create a custom experience for each client. Each and every one of my maternity clients are unique in their own way. I strive to find each person’s vision and create them just as they imagine.

We stayed at the Belton park until after close. We used up every ounce of light that we could and it was worth it. Their portraits turned out gorgeous. I cannot wait to meet Miss. Macee June in a short couple of weeks and capture her very first breath into the world.

Joseph Daniel-17 days old MJ’s Photography

Newborn photography Houston

Meet Joe! He was such a joy to photograph. He decided to come quite a bit early, two days before his Mommy’s Maternity session to be exact! He spent around a week in the NICU. He was 17 days old when we did his newborn session. His parents say that he is pretty alert for a newborn, but he just couldn’t resist with my tactics and was on his best behavior.

Since he was sleeping so well, we posed him in a basket for his newborn portraits. I think three Joe’s could have fit inside the basket, he wasn’t quite 5 pounds yet! But with lots of fluff, he snuggled right up! I think he looks so handsome in blue.

Fluff by : Oh So Fleeting  http://www.ohsofleeting.com/

I can’t resist newborn baby boys in a bonnet! Baby girls get the head pieces and tie backs, and little boys look adorable in knitted bonnets! I love how Joe’s little legs just curl up to his stomach!

For my sessions I provide all of the props and outfits! There is no need to bring anything, unless of course you want to!

Knitted Bonnet by: https://www.etsy.com/shop/veronicasknitdesigns

How sweet is he in these teeny tiny overalls? I had purchased a new outfit for him to use, but he was just to teeny for it!

Mommy ordered her own special outfit for Joe’s Newborn Session! I was so excited to capture this adorable set up! Ninja Turtles!

Look how sweet his hands are in this Ninja Turtle Portrait! Mommy and Daddy chose the top image to display on a unique wooden block for their wall! I cannot wait to see how their collage turns out! How could it not be great with how perfect this little guy is?

Here are a few more that I just have to share to with you.  Joe was gifted this amazing quilt and I love that they brought it along for him to be photographed with it.

It’s never to early to book a newborn session! I have bookings out until the end of November! I only photograph two newborn sessions per week, so book now!

Want to see some more baby sessions in Katy?

MJ’s Photography – Houston newborn photos

MJ does Houston newborn photos.  I live for the sweet baby poses. I had the honor of taking Tyler’s newborn portraits. He was 8 days old at the time of his shoot. His big sister, Emma, is two and was amazing for newborn and sibling shots.

He wasn’t having the sleeping part at the beginning, but I love awake shots just as much as those sleepy poses. If you do not know how to swaddle, learn! It is so important for those times where baby just wants to be awake. Embrace it. He was awake for a good solid hour. We went ahead and did sibling shots, family shots, and then moved on to swaddled poses.

Newborn photography tyler tx
Baby Tyler was awake for a good portion of his Newborn session. How could you not love those eyes? Houston newborn photos

Newborn photography is unpredictable. You can have a plan, but that doesn’t mean you will get to follow it. The babies run the show, we just follow their lead. You have to learn to be able to adapt to any situation and learn how to pose each individual baby. Once Tyler fell asleep, he let me pose him whichever way I wanted. So we did around 5 poses in 30 minutes. Just in time for him to have to go, if you know what I mean, and wake himself up!

Here is one of my favorite shots from Tyler’s newborn portrait session at my in home studio in Houston Texas. The taco pose. This pose is no easy task, if you have tried it, then you know!

Newborn photography tyler tx
Tyler’s newborn portraits. The taco pose. Newborn photography tyler tx

Another helpful tip. Do not get frustrated or stressed. The newborn can sense this and it will only make matters worse. Stay calm, play white noise, keep it warm, and if all else fails, swaddle them up!

Here are some more images from Tyler’s newborn session. I love changing out wraps and poses.

Most of all. Remember to be safe. No pose is worth the risk.

Cypress family photography

I am a Cypress family photography. I service Central Texas which includes, Katy, Cypress, Fulshear, Weston Lakes, The Woodlands, Conroe, Sugar Land, and Pear Land.

I get a lot of requests to take clients sessions at certain times of the day. I always reply with ” I hold all of my portrait sessions during the Golden hour.” I then explain why. So for people wondering what the Golden hour is and why I choose to shoot then, here you go!

The golden hour is that hour before sunset (or sunrise…but most people do not want to get up that early). It provides that soft, dreamy, golden hazed light that I live for. I love the effect that it gives to my images. Sure some of those can be achieved in photoshop, but it is not the same.  The golden hour changes with each season, so there is not an exact time year round.

Are there any exceptions? Sure there are. If it is a cloudy day or if the portraits are going to be taken indoor(I mostly do newborns sessions and sitter sessions indoor). If it is cloudy, the sun will not produce that harsh sunlight, so it is then possible to shoot outside of the golden hour.

Will I really decline a session if the client insists on shooting outside of that time frame? If it is not cloudy, then yes I will. Professional portraits are an investment and are timeless. I strive to make every image worthy of hanging on your wall for years to come and if the lighting is not there, it is limited. If you are going to pass down your family portrait to your children, it deserves to be perfect. I am a family photographer that strives to create that perfect piece of art for your family.

I am going to show a couple sessions that I have taken during the golden hour, here in Killeen, Texas. I will then upload an image that was taken at noon, when the lighting was harsh. If you look for it, you will immediately notice the difference in the skin tone.

MJ’s Photography |Cypress family photography| Sugar Land family photographer|

Now for the noon session. Notice the shadows, the highlights, and his skin tone. He is still cute, but imagine what the image would like like with amazing light.

Cypress family photography
Birthday pictures taken around 1230pm. You can see where the harsh light is really casting shadows onto his face. If this had been taken in the golden hour, the lighting is much softer, preventing those harsh shadows, highlights, and casts of uneven light.

The Gregory’s are complete again! Weston lakes family photographer

I am a Weston lakes family photographer in the houston area. I love capturing those special moments that cannot be relived! Have you ever watched a military homecoming? Even if it wasn’t your own family, the emotions were soaring. You put yourself into their shoes and you feel what they feel. You start thinking about the past 9 months and how different your own life would have been, if this had been you.

If you haven’t watched one, there is a television series about it called “Coming Home” on Lifetime. Watch it, you will feel the emotion!

The Gregory’s Homecoming was located at Fort Hood, Texas. Andrew left when baby Jack was just 2 months old. He is now almost 11 months old and walking! What a change! This family gave a huge sacrifice. Dad missed these 9 months of Jack’s life. We know how fast little one’s grow in that first year, the milestones that they achieve. Mom had to be a single parent to a newborn and run everything back on the home front. Thank goodness for facetime and skype, but it is not the same.  Don’t forget to thank a soldier.
