Houston Family Photographer
Timeless family portraits for pets & their people
Meaningful moments with the ones you love (dogs included!)
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, let’s capture you with 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 Family Portraits
Where less is more. No distractions - just clean, classic portraits that highlight genuine connection & emotion.
Family Portraits at Home
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 Family 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!”

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.
-
No training? No problem. I’ve worked with all kinds of dog personalities—patience, treats, toys, and a little space go a long way. Most dogs are photographed on a leash, which can often be removed in editing if needed.

We'll discuss the best location for your session during the planning consultation. My studio is conveniently located near downtown Houston. Your home can be a great backdrop for portraits; and there’s a wide variety of urban and rural settings throughout the Houston area. View the family portfolio to see more images taken in studio, at home, or outdoors.

Think of dressing your family in a cohesive color palette, not matchy-matchy. Classic pieces in solid, neutral colors tend to photograph best. Many families like to do two looks - one dressy and one casual - for added variety during their 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.
