Pearland Senior Photographer | Savannah

Savannah here was a senior at Pearland Highschool last year. This session was particularly memorable because of the way her and her mom worked together to style this session perfectly. She had her hair and makeup expertly styled at Sunkissed and Made-up. We did three full outfit changes altogether, not including her cap and gown. The various colors and textures really did add such a depth to Savannah's senior portraits. With a model this beautiful, what fun it was to be her Pearland Senior Photographer!When it comes to senior portraits, I like to have variety in the backgrounds we work with. Savannah looked stunning in front of what ever setting I placed her in, so we tried them all! What troopers her and her mom were! I particularly love the distressed brick wall we found. The stark contrast between the weathered surroundings and Savannah's bright beauty worked so well together. When we got to the flower-filled field, Savannah looked absolutely stunning amidst the bouncing natural light. We both knew we wanted to get a super adorable glitter shot, and this was the perfect place to capture it!I love getting to be a part of a time that is so incredibly important to not only these seniors, but to their parents. Not only are the kids about to embark on what is going to be one of the most fun and exciting periods of their lives, but their parents are about to start a new chapter as well. While this is a bound to be time of excited celebration for everyone involved, it is undoubtedly an emotional time as well, especially for two this close as Savannah and her mom. It is my hope that these images act as a reminder for both of these beautiful women, of a wonderful afternoon spent together, celebrating and embracing the new chapter of each other's journey.Check out more beautiful seniors like Savannah on our blog!

Another Beautiful Houston Senior Photographer session is on the blog today!  Gosh, shooting these senior photography sessions just are so much fun and get me out of my comfort zone of being a Newborn and Baby Houston photographer.  Meet Morgan!!  Morgan is a senior that I shot in my favorite field location in Houston and a quick stop by an urban location in Pearland.  We dressed her session with maroons and lots of other relevant and trendy clothes.  We worked together to choose her outfits and style her session.

Being a Beautiful Houston Senior Photographer I was pleased that I was able to style this session to be able to capture her youth and great sense of style.  The day of her session, she was completely pampered by my super talented hair and make-up artist team to get her looking and feeling photo-ready.   This team is also available for all of my Newborn and Baby Houston clients (mamas).   Every senior session booked with me includes professional hair and make-up by the best team in the Houston area!   We had a great time working together to make her senior session a memorable and gorgeous outcome.

Morgan, from the first time I met her, was always so polite, smart, and so hard working.  And now, she is a senior and about to head to Texas A&M later this fall.  I could not be more proud of the amazing woman she has become.  Smart, gorgeous, talented, one of the best cheerleaders you have ever met…those are just a few of the accolades I could shower on this girl!   So wen mom called me to be their Beautiful Houston Senior Photographer, I was completely honored.

Beautiful Houston Senior Photographer

Newborn and Baby Houston

I just love and adore photographing Senior sessions. I think you will see why when you read this blog post. I loved every single photo from Morgan's senior session this past spring in League City. Her outfits were perfect, hair and make-up were stunning, and she happens to be going to my favorite college in the fall, Texas A&M University! Whoop!! One of the best things about being a Houston senior photographer is getting to meet these beautiful people are are on the cusp of starting a new journey in life!  She will soon be joining the Aggie family and I could not be more excited for her.  I had so much working with her for her Senior portrait session. We even threw in a few photos of her and big sister too..who happens to be another Aggie, Gig 'Em! Good luck next year Morgan! Your are beautiful on the inside and out!Taryn Melgoza Photography is a newborn, baby, children, maternity, senior and family photographer located in Houston, TX and serving the greater Houston area.  For more information, please visit her website.

I absolutely LOVE working with Seniors for their Senior photo sessions. They are full of life, style, and fun! This gorgeous lady (or should I say young lady?) wasn't too sure about all the attention being on her for this session, but as you can tell she definitely worked it for my camera. We chose a fun and hip location in Houston and the rest is history. And what's even more exciting is that I get to work with her again in the Spring for a more natural/field/earthy look. I can't wait! Meet Allison, class of 2014 and future Aggie...did I mention she is smart too? Gig 'em! :-)
