Engagement Photographer in Houston

The Kind of Happiness
You Will Want to Keep Forever

Your engagement is more than a moment -

it’s a beautiful chapter in your story.


It’s laughter, gentle touches, and the quiet

joy of knowing you’ve found your person.

 

These photos aren’t just about how you look together, but about how you feel together -

the connection, excitement, and love that make

this time in your life so special.


That’s why I don’t rush or stage emotions.

I create a space where you can relax, have fun, and simply be yourselves - because that’s when the real magic happens.

The Real Moments

As a Houston engagement photographer, 

I focus on what feels natural.


Every couple has their own way of showing love - and my job is to help you feel relaxed so those moments come through easily.

 

I’ll gently guide you when needed, but most of the time I’ll just let you be yourselves - laughing, talking, holding each other.

That’s where the real beauty happens,

and that’s what I want to capture for you.

A Reliable Approach

I believe that beautiful photography begins with trust and peace of mind.

That’s why I work with a simple, secure online contract that you can view and sign right from your phone - quick, clear, and effortless. During each session, my cameras record every image to dual memory systems, protecting your photos in case of possible technical issues. Afterward, I store all files on multiple physical and cloud backups, keeping them safe for you. Your memories are important - and I treat them with the same care as I do my work itself.

FAQs

What’s the best time of day for an engagement session?
 
For outdoor engagement photos - whether in a park, by the water, or in the city - the most beautiful light happens early in the morning or about 1.5 hours before sunset.
Morning light feels soft and peaceful, while evening brings that warm golden glow that adds romance and depth.
Both create the perfect atmosphere for natural, relaxed, and beautifully lit photos.
What if the weather changes on the day of our session?
 
Houston weather can change quickly.
If the conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll reschedule to a new date and time that works for both of us.
How does the booking process work?
 
After we decide on the date, time, and location, I’ll send you an online contract by email.
You can sign it and pay the deposit in just a few clicks.
Once that’s done, your session is booked and the date is all yours.
Is the studio rental included in the session price?
 
Studio rental is not included in the session price.
If you’d like a studio photoshoot, I’ll help you find a suitable space available for your date, and you’ll book and pay for it directly.
Studio rental rates in Houston are typically around $85 per hour.
Do you charge a travel fee?
 
I’m based in the Upper Kirby area of Houston.
There’s no travel fee for sessions within 20 miles of my location.
For distances between 20-40 miles, the fee is $50, and for 40-60 miles, it’s $100.
Sessions in The Woodlands and Conroe have a $100 travel fee.
Sessions held on the Gulf Coast - including Galveston, Surfside Beach, and East Beach - have a $100 travel fee.
When will our photos be ready?
 
Your finished photos will be ready within 10 business days, not including the day of the session.
How will we receive our photos?
 
Your photos will be delivered through a private online gallery, where you can view and download them in high quality.
You’ll also be able to share the link with family and friends so they can download the images too.
Can we get additional photos?
 
Your session includes a set of fully edited images, carefully selected and retouched.
If you’d like more, you can add additional edited photos for $20 each.
Do you provide unedited photos?
 
I don’t deliver unedited (RAW) images.
Each photograph you receive is carefully selected and edited to reflect the color, light, and emotion that define my style.
This ensures your gallery looks consistent, polished, and ready to be enjoyed or printed without any extra work on your side.
How is the session price formed?
 
My pricing reflects the experience, professionalism, and reliability that go into every stage of your session - from preparation to delivery.
Each project includes planning, communication, travel, shooting, and detailed editing. I also work with a small team - including a retoucher and coordinator - to make the process smooth and organized.
All images are securely stored and backed up on multiple drives to ensure nothing is ever lost.
In total, a typical 1-2 hour session often requires 10-15 hours of work from start to finish.
