the family experience
- Hang gorgeous art on your walls.
- Gift photos to grandparents.
- And most importantly freeze the age and stage your kids are at now so you can revisit at anytime.
- Organise - time, date, outfits.
- And then the photographer doesn't really 'get' you! So everyone complains.
- You end up with photos but not the ones you have been dreaming of!

when it comes to family photography you have a few options
You could have a family friend snap a few photos, or do what you usually do and take them yourself with your phone (Moms I know it is always you that isn't in the photos - and no, we are not counting the funny selfies).
Or you could head to mall and use a cookie cutter photographer that has already done 20 other families that day. Stand in lines, and make do with what they come up with at the end of the awkward session.
Hire a photographer that will tailor your session to your unique family. A photographer you know and trust with 5 years of photography, and 100 + sessions under her belt.

the fun
i am also a mum and i'm trying to soak up as much of my kids as possible. therefore my session availability is limited.
The best of the best! I was late to the game booking Christmas card photos this year and Claire was able to accommodate me within the week. She was so genuine and sweet and captured my family so authentically. I have an almost 1 year old son and she was so great with him. She got lots of pics very quickly so we finished before he got restless. I got my gallery in half the time she quoted me which was the best surprise. I couldn’t pick a favorite because all of the photos were so amazing!
family session

My family recent did a photo session with Claire. We were a little nervous going into the session, as it was our first time doing a photo session and we had 4 generations of our family present. Claire made it a FANTASTIC experience!!! We had fun and there was no stress… the time flew by. After the session, Claire had the photos ready within a few days and we are simply blown away by the results! She did such an amazing job and we couldn’t be happier. We have photos that we will cherish forever. It was such a great experience in fact, that we will soon be booking another session. If you’re thinking about booking a session with Claire, stop thinking and do it! Thank you, Claire, for the amazing experience and top notch photos!

A: I get it, your busy! But I can assure you that this process doesn't have to be a long and complicated one! I can guide you through and make it as quick and painless as possible.
Q: How far in advance should i book?
A: To ensure I have the day and time you are looking for I would advise you to book at least 2 months before the session. Spring and Fall are the busiest times, so if you are looking for a session then, i would suggest 4 months before.
Q: Do you travel for sessions?
A: I do travel for sessions, anything over 30 miles from my home in Fulshear Texas does incur a travel fee. But don't hesitate to contact me to discuss.
