“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” ~Nora Ephron, When Harry Met Sally

I met up with Crystal and Daniel a few weeks ago for their engagement session at Hermann Park. They are such a cute couple!

Only natural light was used for this entire photo session if remember it right. No flash, no reflectors folks.

It was a nice sunny day!

You could be here! – Beautiful backdrop for Bluebonnet Portraits 2011

mhphouston — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 17:30:47 +0000

You could be here!!

These photos were taken this past weekend. We drove out to the country this past weekend and found a few places on public property that is suitable for bluebonnet portraits and doesn’t require you to be next to the freeway. I thought this would be a great backdrop for portraits! As a native Texan, I especially thought this location is super cool! Ok folks, now that you know there are bluebonnets, you don’t have to be afraid to set up a bluebonnet session, they do exist this year!!!! The coolest part is that with the rain we are getting this week, this field will be even more dense as there is more to bloom!!!!

Rory – Houston, TX Teen Portrait Photographer

mhphouston — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 02:53:48 +0000

I last photographed Rory a year a half ago when I had my studio at The Gallery. Now 15, I met up with her and her mother at Hermann Park the other day for an updated session. Rory is a beautiful girl who is a natural in front of the camera and takes direction so well! I told her mother she would probably be great modeling.

Molly – Houston Children’s Portrait Photographer

“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”
Angela Schwindt

Flash back to the fall, I photographed Molly at Hermann Park in the Houston Garden Center. She was a little shy at first, but she came around. Just adorable!

This was when I first saw Molly. She was at quite the distance. Didn't want to be photographed, saying "No pictures." So skinking cute!

Don't kill me Paige, I thought this pic was too sweet to leave out.

Drake – Houston, TX Newborn Baby Photographer

mhphouston — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 21:23:41 +0000

Meet the newest addition of the Nygren family, Drake! He is so precious, and was so alert the whole session and only 8 days old! Mommy Leah is the owner and lead artist at Your Beautiful Face. When clients ask me for referrals for makeup and hair, this is who I recommend. Her staff is top notch!

Stewart Title Company – Tomball, TX Corporate Headshot Photographer

mhphouston — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 13:05:24 +0000

Today I had the pleasure of photographing the ladies of Stewart Title in Tomball, TX. The neutral tones in the lobby were a great backdrop and the large windows provided a nice softbox effect. I used just a dash of fill flash to finish it off.
