MJ’s Photography is a Cosmopolitan high rise-Galleria family photographer. Are you looking for a unique family photographer? One that will capture your family perfectly? Let’s do it!
This family was so perfect for their family portraits! Little Grayden turned 1 year old and did so amazing for his family portraits.
He loved being with his big brothers! Teen brothers and a one year old brother, momma has her hands full. I love this family portrait.
Look how adorable he is! His little lips!
Family portraits are great at every age, but I really love family pictures with a one year old. They can’t run away to fast, but always give the cutest expressions.
Let’ talk wall art, I LOVE wall art. Why? Because you get to enjoy your portraits every single day. You will walk by them and relive your memories. Without family portraits on your wall, what is the point? You can’t enjoy them from your computer. Go big!

Look at these handsome teens! They are the best big brothers to sweet Grayden.
Daddy and son. Look at their smiles!
Doesn’t mom look perfect! I love this portrait of these two. I want it on my own wall!
I love capturing mom and dad together. After having a little one, these photos are always lacking. Aren’t they perfect? #couplephotographer I love this one.
Momma and her boys. I love this one so much! Mom of boys and all smiles. Mommy and me with all of her sons.
We chose a different day to get some of this sweet boy’s birthday!
That little face! I love his little teeth. Rookie of the year was his first birthday theme.
Rookie of the year! Isn’t he the cutest little baseball player. Turning one is a big deal. Let me help you capture it perfectly.
ONE! Look at his perfect little grin. Dirt and all. This sweet boy loved being outside.
Have you ever had an oil painting? What about an oil painting of your family portrait? One that will withstand the test of time and that can be passed down from each generation? If not, why not? Let’s create this one of a kind unique piece together. These are exquisite.
I chose to create mine of the 4 generation of women in my life. My grandma, my mother, me, and my two daughters.
Each piece is master art retouched. Then it will be digitally painted. After it has been digitally painted, it gets sent off to Italy to be printed. This is not a traditional canvas. This portrait will be be on a Giclee Fine art canvas. Giclée printmaking meets the highest quality standard for printing limited edition pieces on paper or canvas.
We use 10-color, archival-pigmented Ultrachrome K3 inks that provide print life exceeding 80 years, even 100+ years. Perfect for generational pass down.

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. Laurie
MJ’s Photography is a Cochran’s Crossing Village newborn photographer. Are you looking for a photographer near Houston? Let’s talk about your session.
Isn’t he perfect?
I love his little feet in this newborn picture. Newborn portraits are usually done within two weeks of time. My favorite days to capture newborn portraits are usually 9-11 days.
He just curled up in this adorable pose and I just knew it would be a favorite. Those little arm rolls are the best.
Mom wanted beige/neutral/grays for his session and his skin tone looked perfect with them!
Look at his little smile! He is so perfect. Momma loved his little head on the pillow. I have a studio in Katy, Texas where newborn portraits are typically done. Hair and makeup is included for mom as well!
Look how perfect is profile is. I love all of the details captured in this one. They grow so fast.
This one is my favorite! Look at him! I could stare at him all day. Hello World. I just love how newborns curl up. I love capturing newborn portraits in more natural poses and lighting. It captures every little detail. MJ captures newborns in the Houston area. If you are looking to book a newborn photographer, visit me here! MJ’s Facebook
Look at daddy with his boy! He looks so small and tiny in daddy’s hands. Daddy is there to protect him. I love doing parents with their newborn baby.

Isn’t mom stunning! I love the way she looks with her sweet baby boy! Of course hair and makeup was done by Mrs. Avesta. She always does such a great job. She comes to the studio to do them! So while I am capturing your sweet baby’s solo portraits, you are getting treated to hair and makeup! It gives you a little bit of mommy time.
Their first family portrait. I love it so much! MJ’s Photography is a Cochran’s Crossing Village newborn photographer that works in the Katy/Houston area. Your first family portraits are so important! They are what you will remember after being sleep deprived for so long.

How to maximize your gallery from a single pose during a newborn session, while still getting multiple looks!
Newborn sessions can be lengthy especially if that little one just doesn’t want to sleep for you! It is so important to maximize each pose in your newborn galleries. Doing this will help you shorten your newborn session times and still be able to get a great variety of images for your clients.
It’s all in the wrap!
After doing a couple naked poses I move onto my wrapped poses. Here is where you are going to be able to maximize each wrap! I typically do all of these wrapped poses in an hour.
The first wrapped pose that I do looks something like this. Under this brown wrap is a white basic stretch wrap. It is simple around his chest to hold his hands in place. The brown wrap is simply there for looks and to hold the feet in that cute pose.
You can see that his hands are in position to get the potato pose, I am working each wrapped pose up to the potato sack pose.
While he is wrapped, you want to get multiple angles. This also gives you the chance for your close ups and of course that coveted feet shot!
The second wrapped pose only requires you to remove the brown wrap that is placed for looks. LEAVE the white wrap that is around the hands and chest on. Change out the outward wrap and change out your bonnet/bow. Grab multiple angles from this setup as well! Below is an example.

Third look. SAME white underneath wrap is on. Baby should still be content because you have left them feeling secure with the white stretch wrap on. Here I am simply using the flokati that I am going to use for the potato sack pose. You can also use this pose to grab the eyelash shot.
Fourth look. You guessed it….I still have on the underneath white wrap. Here you can change out the outward wrap if you choose, this time mom loved neutrals, so I decided to keep the same wrap but changed to a prop to gather a better variety of poses. I added in a bowl with some white fluff and a teddy bear. (NOTE: for me it is super to easy to switch back and forth from props to beanbag due to just swiveling my light, if this is not easy for you, you will have to change up the order a little.)
I also like to grab some profile shots, baby toes, and lips!
About this time mom is done with hair and makeup. So baby is in the perfect wrap for some parent shots. I am usually done with these in less than 10 minutes. Here is just a few.
Fifth wrapped shot! Potato sack time! I know some people do not like this pose…but I am obsessed. I love this pose so much and so do all of my clients. I still have the same white underneath stretch wrap on. I am going to take a second stretch wrap and stabilize the neck and back even more with it. Then you take the third wrap(whichever wrap you want on the outside) and wrap babies feet up to their chest as well. For this session mom wanted an Heirloom album, so I love tying in the same wraps to create a beautiful cohesive album.
Sixth wrapped pose! Just put the 4th wrap over the previous potato sack poses wrap. Same flokati. Like so. Just gives an extra look and takes literally 3 minutes.
Seventh wrapped pose time! Take off the last two wraps, keeping on the two white stretch wraps. Then pick an additional wrap and bonnet to put on. My go to here is the bucket pose!
Here if baby is really asleep, I’ll pull their hands out of the wrap and get a chin pose shot in the bucket. This baby was not down for that pose, so I did chin on arms instead.
Houston newborn photographer – MJ’s photography
Here is an example of froggy pose in the bucket…if they stay asleep. (The first white wrap is still round their chest to make them feel secure).
This is the flow I do for every baby! Of course there will be moderations for each baby, but for the most part I still to this routine. My sessions are typically 2 hours and I get around 80 images to show at their Image reveal session.

Of course before family portraits, I had to do a little session with Elise in her gorgeous Annie dress. Here are some of my favorites.
Which is your favorite?
I think this dress is the perfect neutral vintage dress. The built in petticoat just makes it perfect and gives it the right amount of “poof.”
The pockets are Elise’s favorites!
Photographing a two year old is a challenge, but the results are the most rewarding. You have to figure out what makes them happy. Each child is different, so it is my job to figure out how to make them come out of their shell in the small amount of time I have.
