Houston Family Photographer
Timeless family portraits for pets & their people
Meaningful moments with the ones you love
Every family is different, and your portraits should reflect yours.
Whether it’s you and your dog, a couple just starting out, busy parents with young (or grown) kids, empty nesters, or a multi-generation family gathering, family photography is about capturing love and connection of the people (and pets) who matter most - just as you are, right now. Each session is thoughtfully designed to reflect your family’s story and create timeless keepsakes you’ll treasure for years.
Don’t wait for a big milestone - each season of life is worth remembering.
Worth every penny
“Megan has done two wonderful photo shoots of my family and we will continue to be repeat customers. She is friendly, prompt, talented, and caters to our preferences. The final result of each photo shoot has been worth every penny spent. Superb service all around.”
Studio Portraits
Where less is more. No distractions - just clean, classic portraits that highlight genuine connection & emotion.
Home Portraits
Relaxed, real-life portraits in the comfort of your home & yard. From cozy corners to favorite hangouts, your everyday spaces become the perfect backdrop to tell your story.
Outdoor Portraits
When the environment is part of the story, your favorite park, trail, or skyline sets the scene for vibrant photos.
A present to ourselves
“Great experience, photos, and customer service! We had our family pictures taken as a 25th wedding anniversary present to ourselves and can’t say enough about the professionalism Megan provided to take care of everything. We are very happy with the photos and personal touches to make the process as simple as possible. Highly recommend!”
Think your dog won’t behave?
Shhhhh, I’m going to let you in on a secret: most of the dogs on this website were photographed with their leashes on. No special training required!
“I’m not photogenic.”
”I need to lose 10 lbs.”
”I have no idea what to wear.”
You aren’t alone - I hear these excuses a lot. But trust me: you are beautiful just the way you are, and you deserve to exist in portraits. Genuine expressions, flattering light, and proper posing - these are all ways I’ll help you look and feel your best!

You might be wondering…
-
Don't worry! Training isn't required to achieve great images. I have worked with a variety of different dog personalities - patience, space, treats, noises, and toys go a long way towards turning your pet into a supermodel! Most of the dogs featured on my website were photographed with leashes on. If the leash distracts from the image, many times it can be removed in post-processing.
-
Absolutely yes! I always encourage families to include their dogs, as they're part of the family and those memories of you with your best friend are priceless.
-
We'll discuss the best location for your session during the planning consultation. My studio is conveniently located near downtown Houston. The city and surrounding suburbs offer a wide variety of urban and rural settings, so we are sure to find the perfect spot for your on-location photo session.
-
Most people choose to decorate at least one wall in their home with wall art, and then put the rest of their favorite images in an album or folio box. I’ll be your design consultant and help you select the sizes and finishes to complement your space. With your artwork purchase, you'll also receive the matching digital file(s), which can be used for archiving, personal printing, and sharing online.
