Howdy friends!  I am so excited to be offering fall mini sessions again this year!  You may remember I did NOT offer them last year as I had just had my third baby.  I've missed seeing so many of you and hope to see you sometime this  fall!  Here are all the important details and information you need to know about this year's fall mini sessions.

DETAILS + PRICING

$400

20 minute indoor session

15 high resolution images of your choice

IMPORTANT INFO

When and where will these sessions take place?

They will take place on Saturday October 13, 2018 at the Houston Warehouse Studios.  There will be 11 time slots available.

What can these sessions be used for?

They may be used for single portraits, couples, or individual families (no extended families please).

What does the studio look like?

The studio is actually a restored warehouse in downtown Houston.  It has tons of character, an exposed brick wall, lots of windows, and various furniture props.  I plan to utilize part of the space for some Christmas themed portraits (think Christmas tree, wreath, TBD) but also plan to have space for some timeless (non-themed) family portraits as well.  All the above images were taken at this studio.

When will my images be ready?

All galleries will be delivered by (or before) November 1st, 2018.

How many images will I receive?

Your gallery will include a minimum of 15 fully edited high resolution digital images from your session. Most of the time I am able to capture more than the minimum, so it is likely you will get to view more than 15 images. You will then have a chance to choose your favorite 15 images via digital download with the option to purchase additional images if you choose to do so.

What if I cannot attend my mini session for an unforeseen reason?

Please note that these mini sessions are nonrefundable, nontransferable, and cannot be rescheduled for any reason. Please be sure you are 100% available for the date and time before registering.

How can I sign up?

Times will open to the public through my store link on Monday August 13th at 6pm.  Be sure to join my newsletter to get first dibs to the link!  In the past, these sessions have sold out in minutes, so be ready to grab your spot!  A completed contract and $200 plus tax deposit is due upon booking and required to hold your time slot. The remaining $200 plus tax balance will be due one week before your session date.

Please send me an email if you have any questions at all to TarynMelgoza@gmail.com.

Spring time is upon which means baseball is too!  My oldest son Jensen is playing the the Angels this season with the Pearland Little League and my hubby is coaching.  My business also sponsored their team this season so you will see my banner hanging in the outfield on field 5 at the Dad's Club.  I am honored to be able to support their team AND to get to photograph them in action.  This past Saturday was their opening day and it was so fun to cheer them on from the stands!  They have been practicing for several weeks leading up to  their first game on Opening Day so it was great to see them finally use their skills on the field.  Here are some of my favorites images from the day.  To see more from their Opening Day, click HERE to see the full gallery.

Four Ways to Keep Kids Engaged Throughout a Session

As a mom myself and Houston Child Photographer, I know that a kiddos attention can last so long. Read on to learn how to keep your little ones engaged! Family sessions are some of my favorite sessions, because it gives me the opportunity to capture such sweet moments between parents and their children. I love kids, but I realize that getting pictures taken can often be a stressful experience for the families I work with. As a mom, I totally understand the questions and thoughts that go through parents’ minds: “What if my child starts running around like a crazy monkey?” “What if they won’t stop crying?” And once the session starts, “Oh my gosh, what do I do with these kiddos?!” I get it. It’s hard. However, I encourage you to relax, take a few deep breaths, and follow these 4 tips to keep your kids engaged throughout a session:

1. Bribery - Yes, I said that right. Bribing your kiddos with small toys or snacks is a great way to encourage positive behavior. Because of my teaching background, I know that positive reinforcement is a good tactic to help keep your kiddos engaged. My favorites are candy and money. Every time your kiddo follows directions the first time you ask them, give them a sour patch kid. Or better yet, give them a quarter!

2. Relax - It’s easy for us to get stressed and get angry at our kiddos. However, try your best to relax and be care-free. This is my top most rule during a family session. This is the only hour that I will let them be themselves completely (as long as it is safe).

3. Give Breaks - Your kiddos need breaks. Let them shake it out. Let them run it out. Their attention spans are shorter than an adults, so to set unrealistic expectations just isn't fair!

4. Be Fun - Bring something that you all will enjoy to do together. This will help me get candid pictures, and help them to not feel like they have to act/be a certain way for the entire session.

Baby Melgoza #3 is coming soon!

We are super excited and blessed to welcome baby #3 in less than 5 weeks!  Baby is expected to arrive by c-section on September 14th and we can't wait to find out the gender!  This is a sneak peek from our maternity photos taken by Andrea Surak Photography.  Please note that I will be on maternity leave most of September and October, but will be back shooting sessions in November....just in time for the Fall busy season & holiday portraits!

Fall 2017 Calendar - No Mini Sessions This Year

I wanted to formally announce that I will NOT be offering Fall Mini Sessions this year.  This will be the first time in 5 years I haven't offered them!  It was a difficult decision for me to make as I have so many clients I love working with each year for mini sessions!  But with the arrival of baby #3, maternity leave, and an already extremely full calendar of sessions, it just wasn't possible.This Fall I will only be offering regular portrait sessions (45-60 min in length and at full 2017 pricing).  If you are interested in booking a session, please contact me ASAP as I have very limited availability remaining in November + December. You may send me an email at TarynMelgoza@gmail.com or fill out the contact form on the website.

Newborn Session Availability

Newborn sessions are currently booking for December and early 2018.  Please be sure to book your session during the second trimester to ensure you get a spot on the calendar.

THANK YOU CLIENTS for a fabulous 2017 so far!

Thank you for an amazing 2017 so far!  I have been so blessed to work with each and every one of my clients this year!  It's truly an honor to call this my "job".  I look forward to see everyone again soon after baby arrives!

Houston Family Fun | Houston Astros

Looking for something fun to do this summer with the kids? Take them to a Houston Astros baseball game, and it will be an experience that they won’t ever forget! It can be hard for a mom to come up with fun activities to do with the kids during the summer, and we all hate hearing those words “Mom, I’m bored!” all summer long. This isn’t just something that the kids will love to do, but you will be sure to enjoy it as well! I always love going to these games and seeing the little kids wide eyed the entire time and jumping for joy when we get a home run!

Getting Tickets

I would recommend buying tickets soon because single tickets are currently on sale on their website. If you’re really looking for a great deal, I would go on a Wednesday night for dollar hot dogs! This is the perfect way to make memories with the entire family while not breaking the bank. I can’t think of a better way to end the summer before the kids head back to school! I would be sure to follow the Astros on all of their social medias to keep you updated.

Houston's Best Newborn Photographer | Fimbinger Twins Newborn

Meet Bodie and Pippa! This adorable set of boy and girl twins were so much fun to work with! I love getting to plan and prepare for twin sessions. It always me to be creative and really think outside the box! I am always up for the challenge when it comes to trying to incorporate both babies into props and poses! I always love having an assistant for all the newborn sessions. But with double the cuteness, it is so helpful to have an extra set of hands!

Bodie and Pippa's Early Bond

It can always be a little nerve racking when working with newborns because you just never know what mood they will be in, but surprisingly enough, these two slept peacefully the entire time. It was incredible to watch the bond that these two already have with one another! They snuggled up together, and I was even lucky enough to catch a few soft smiles from them!I know that they will grow up super close. It’s obvious that they are already adored by mom and dad. I am so blessed to have gotten to work with this amazing family, and I hope to see them again soon! I already have so many ideas for a double the trouble cake smash session for first birthdays!!!

Ryder One Year + Family Pics

I had such an amazing time with this sweet family. I have been so excited to be able to share this session with you! This mommy and daddy have 3 beautiful children. Ryder being their last one. Since he is the last baby this family plans to have, they wanted to document his first birthday with updated family portraits. Including some individual photos of their precious baby boy. These folks are seriously the sweetest, and made the session so much fun!

About this session

Ryder is as cute as it gets. His snaggle-toothed smile was seriously the most precious thing I have ever seen! Mom brought a teepee along as a prop, and I love the photos we were able to capture in front of it. Ryder and his two older siblings seemed to have a lot of fun with each other the entire session. The family portraits were absolutely stunning as well, and each of these family members had such natural, bright smiles.

We totally lucked out during this session, because the evening light was truly perfect. Ryder was such a wonderful little guy, and had the most amazing family ever. I feel so blessed to have been able to capture sweet memories for these people, and so grateful for such a magical session!

About the Downtown Aquarium

I love walking through all 8 exhibits they have to offer. My favorite has to be the white tiger exhibit and the newly opened stingray reef. My little ones love exploring through the Louisiana Swamp exhibit. Or spending time in the education room where they can get up close and personal to a wide assortment of animals. I'll never forget their squeals of delight as they reached in and touched a real starfish. Watching their eyes light up in excitement as they learn and explore is such a sweet treat for me to see!Spending afternoons in their adorable company is so incredibly important. I know one day they'll be too cool to want to spend the day with me looking at all the Nemo fishies. So for now, I'll treasure their precious giggles and capture as many memories with them as I can! 

Whether you're looking for a nice dinner spot in downtown Houston, or are wanting to take the kiddos for a day to escape summer's heat, the Downtown Aquarium is the perfect spot to make some wonderful memories!

Houston Family Fun | The Houston Zoo

Some of my favorite childhood memories were summer afternoons spent with my grandparents and cousins. They would take us to parks, putt-putt, the aquarium, and my favorite...the zoo! I remember thinking there was nothing more magical than the zoo. I kid you not! We adored walking through the different exhibits and seeing all the animals in my "Animal Kingdom ABC's" book roar to life!As soon as my kiddos were old enough, I couldn't wait to take them for some Houston Family Fun! I wanted to create the same beautiful memories with them, as my grandparent's had created with me. To see their eyes light up in recognition, imitating a lions roar or and elephants trunk makes my heart burn so bright for them. The mind of a child is such a beautiful thing, isn't it?

About the Houston Zoo

The Houston Zoo houses over 6,000 friends, waiting to make your children's acquaintance. With 11 amazing exhibits currently, there's sure to be something for each little mind to explore! My favorite part is the Children's Zoo. My kiddos absolutely adore it! There's a petting zoo, interactive playground, live educational shows and even a bat cave and bug house for you more adventurous parents out there! We always have a wonderful time, playing the day away, and sneaking off into distant continents, exploring the wonders of their natural inhabitants.A word to the wise, head out to the Zoo while we're still enjoying this gorgeous spring weather! As all of you are more than aware who live here in Houston, the summers can be relentless! If you do brave the heat, don't fear! Expertly placed snow-cone stands and ice-cream stops are happy to meet you as you explore all the fun the Houston Zoo has to offer!

Houston Studio Baby Photographer - Luke

Oh my goodness, be still my heart!! This has got to be one of the best set of locks I’ve ever seen on a little one! The only thing more adorable than this sweet family was Luke’s hair. I am so excited that I was able to document such a special time in this family’s story.  And being a Houston Studio Baby Photographer, I can do just that!

Mr. Luke decided he couldn’t wait to make his earthly debut, so he got to spend some extra time in the NICU to make sure he was the healthiest, happiest baby boy possible! It’s obviously true what they say that the best things in life are worth waiting for! Anxiously waiting for my niece to grace us with her presence was the longest 3 hours of my life! (Which she finally did, hands balled into tiny little fists, ready to take on the world!) I can only imagine the anticipation and excitement Luke’s mommy and daddy felt as they waited to get their hands on their precious angel.

About this Houston Baby Photography Session

We planned for both outdoor and studio shots for the little guy. First we started with some individual shots of Luke. He was dressed in a set of knit overalls from Darling Baby, using Folkati rugs, some of my absolute favorites for newborn shots! To finish up the session, we went to an adorable little local park to highlight the fun this family so obviously enjoys together.

It was an absolute pleasure to get to know this beautiful family. Luke, I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you and your darling parents.

Houston Newborn Baby Photographer - Fin

I think being a Houston Newborn Baby Photographer is the best job anyone could have.  I loved meeting this little guy and his name really stuck out to me.  A name is more than a mere title, a name is the source of your identity. Simply put, there’s a reason teachers ask each student their preferred pronunciation of their name. Well, with a name like Fin, it’s obvious an awesome little man is in the making!

Fin was one of the easiest babes to work with, he was such a laid back, handsome little model baby! Let me tell you, he was an absolute dream to pose! My hands-down favorite position was of his little arm nestled behind his sweet head, laid back, pondering the complexities of baby-hood. Overalls were perfect for this big boy who weighed in at birth at a whopping 8+ pounds! We decided to work with muted tones of blue, grey and green giving this shoot an earthy, rustic feel.

It was a joy and pleasure to get to meet with, plan and work with Fin’s parents! I adored getting to know both of them- it’s always a wonderful experience when your relationship with your clients can bud into a new friendship. This bundle of joy is mom and dad’s first child, so of course I wanted to make sure this shoot perfectly captured this exciting time in their family’s new journey! I’m sure there will be countless beautiful memories and moments enjoyed by this adorable family and their handsome little man.

Houston Baby Photography Session - Mila

Golden tutus...lace teepees...floral headbands...cream, lace rompers and beautiful baby girls….these are a few of my favorite things! Oh wait, that's not how the song goes?... Whoops!!  I am absolutely obsessed with styling these Houston Baby Photography Session, so this was so fun to me!

This shoot with Ms. Mila was the perfect example of how one of the more challenging parts of our jobs as photographers can easily become one our favorites. I am constantly looking to build the diversity of props and textures used in my sessions. When I came across this lace teepee, I instantly knew it would be perfect for sessions with beautiful little princesses like Mila.

About this Houston Baby Photography Session

As with any child, it took some time for little Mila to warm up to a new environment. But let me tell you! The wait was more than worth it! After getting a little more relaxed with me and her new setting, we were able to get a ton of silly smiles, goofy giggles and happy grins. I absolutely adored the cream lace romper and floral headpiece Mila’s mom had her styled in! Not to mention the darling pink and gold tutu we were able to use. Mila was nothing short of breathtaking with her bouncing brown curls and huge, chocolate puppy dog eyes.

The diverse combination of colors, textures, props and outfits truly made this shoot magical. We were able to capture such a fun time in Mila’s journey. It was an absolute joy to provide her parent’s with a little keepsake of this beautiful but fleeting time in all three of their lives.

Houstons Best Baby Photographer - Greyson

Sitter milestone sessions are so much fun for me.  The sweet babies are just finding their tiny little personalities.  I love the challenge, too, of getting those big 'ol snaggle tooth grins.  Greyson was no exception and I just loved spending time with him and his sweet family.  Being Houstons Best Baby Photographer, I just can't even get over how lucky I am. 

About this Baby Photography Session

Little tiny fingers, little tiny toes, dreamy eyelashes, and a sweet smile.  This age is the sweetest age.  These babies are such little snugglers, they are finding their own personalities, and they just love attention.  Sweet Greyson, if you want attention?  I'll give it to you!  I think it's also ultra exciting to imagine this baby boy as a big brother to his baby sister.  Her protector for life and one of her best friends.I loved that we were able to incorporate mama's sweet gender reveal, another huge milestone during this sitter session.  These moments sometimes make my heart skip a beat and just genuinely appreciate my life, and be happy for these amazing clients of mine.  Be sure to scroll below for highlights from this session and be sure to get in touch if you'd like to book your very own baby planner session!

Houstons Best Fine Art Newborn Photographer

I am so excited because I have so many blogs to be sharing with everyone!  This sweet baby girl that I am sharing was so precious and she slept so incredibly well.  I am always so thankful for these sweet babies who just like to wiggle their way into my heart.  Being Houstons Best Fine Art Newborn Photographer, I had the pleasure of spending the morning with this perfect little family. 

About this Houston Newborn Session

Have you ever just sat and stared at your husband as he interacts with your babies?  It's one of my favorite things to do when we spend time together as a family.  His hands in relation to my children are so powerful, so big compared to theirs, and so used.  Theirs are so tender, so gentle, and so fresh.  The way only he knows how to make them giggle, the way my daughter looks at him with her beautiful brown eyes... it makes me melt into a puddle the size of Texas.I can't forget the way that my husband teaches my son to be a man.  To help in the yard, to show him how to love me and to protect his baby sister.  And babies... they just know how to melt their daddies in a way that no one else can.  When my first born came earth side, my husband just sat and cried.  Overcome with emotion and in turn, so was I.So when mom requested and convinced her husband to take a unique shot of him and baby, I was thrilled and just know that they will treasure that art that we created together forever.  I am so grateful for each one of my clients.
