Houston Pearland Newborn Studio

Happy Tuesday friends!  What better way to start your day than with this Houston Pearland Newborn Studio session?

Meet newborn baby Jackson!  All the heart eyes, guys!  Being that these were first time parents to this newborn baby boy, we decided to stick with neutrals to style his session.  It was a perfect, timeless, and classic touch to this adorable session.  This included many muted grays, blues, and some touches of tan and browns as well.  This was my very first session using my new barn wood flooring and I absolutely love the texture and warmth is adds to my newborn sessions.

This sweet mama is also a huge fan of Harry Potter, so she brought along her Harry Potter wand, a “Muggle Born” hat, and all of the books from the series to incorporate into a Harry Potter themed shot.   I also purchased the little white stuffed owl for the finishing touches on this themed set.  I just love adding these personal touches to a newborn baby session because it really creates an environment where mama and dad.  It just seems so orchestrated to who they are, and I strive to document that in all of my sessions.  We also used my log bed and the brown bear lovie to create a snuggl-y and sweet boy newborn session that these parents will cherish for a lifetime.

As a side note- these client’s purchased an custom accordion mini album from their ordering appointment as a gift to themselves and to each set of grandparents.  These accordion mini albums have quickly become one of my client’s favorite fine art products.  It’s the perfect little brag book to carry around and show off to family and friends!

Houston Pearland Newborn Studio

Happy hump day! I decided to throw in a recent 2016 sessions to mix it up a little…although I still have tons of 2015 sessions to catch up on!  So here's this Beautiful Houston Baby Photography session!Being a Beautiful Houston Baby Photography specialist has some of the best job perks…one of them is that I get to watch tiny little newborns grow into the cutest babies! Meet Greyson. He came to visit me in my Houston-area studio for his sitting milestone session just a few weeks ago. We chose to do this session in the studio because it’s the perfect age to capture their rolls and baby details and we didn’t have to worry about the outdoor elements in this crazy Texas weather.This blue eyed baby boy was full of smiles and he also happens to have the sweetest parents! Greyson’s mom is a good friend from several years ago…during our just graduated college kid-free days. Our lives sure have changed since then! We are now both mothers and couldn’t be happier.You might have seen this family’s maternity session on the blog a few weeks ago. They are so photogenic and easy to work with and I just love photographing them. Well, I also had the pleasure of photographing Greyson’s newborn and tummy time sessions (which will both be blogged soon, I promise). As you can see, I’ve spent a lot of time with this family this past year. I usually get sad when we get to the end of their Baby Collections because it means I won’t get to see them as often. BUT I am excited to say they will be welcoming a new baby GIRL in a few months too! Which means I will be seeing them a ton in 2016 too! ☺ We incorporated a pregnancy and gender announcement during their studio session and I loved how it turned out! See a sample of their session below. Enjoy!

Beautiful Houston Baby Photography

Happy Saturday friends!  Kicking off this blog post is the Miller Family. This precious bunch booked me to be their On Location Houston Family Photographer and I was so excited because they were out of state and were here visiting relatives.I just feel so honored that they trusted me enough to do this for them, especially since Houston just has so many other baby and family photographers to choose from. It’s very humbling and I am very grateful. OK! Now for the deets!We went to a local park in Pearland to shoot their family portraits.  This sweet family wore various tones of blue for their outfits. The goal of the session was to document sweet William and to document him turning 1. We even squeezed in a cake smash to just make this session the perfect session to celebrate his first birthday! It was a windy and crazy weather day…it started out sunny, then rained on us with lots of wind, then the sun came back out. We managed to work around the weather to make this a memorable session for their family. We also included some extended family photos with the grandparents and I know they will cherish those images with their sweet grandson.  The highlights from their sweet and perfect  session are below! I would love to be your On Location Houston Family Photographer and to be able to document your family's special milestones!

On Location Houston Family Photographer

Man, this week has flown by! My baby girl has been recovering from one of those nasty viruses going around this season, so it’s hard to really tell where all my time has really gone this week. I do not mind the extra snuggles, though, so I guess that’s the silver lining when the babes are sick. Any who, work must go on and as such, this blog post is next! I got to meet Ezra and document the beautiful Pang family's Houston Newborn and baby Photography session.This Houston Newborn and baby Photography session was taken here at my newborn studio in Houston / Pearland. This session was styled around my personal favorite tones. baby boy muted tones. I feel that muted tones really just keep that timeless and classic look and that’s what I am all about. If you did not know or have not worked with me yet, I am a fine art photographer that specializes in getting these images on your walls and off your computer. I pride myself in creating works of art that can be hung or displayed in your home for years to come, without looking outdated. I think timeless and classic colors (neutrals) really achieves that which is why I love it so! <3Ezra was baby boy #2 (a dad’s dream, eh?!) and big brother was so so sweet and we were able to get several really amazing sibling shots. We also were able to incorporate family pictures into the mix which is always such a blessing since this time is so fleeting and emotions are still so fresh. Baby boy was awake for some of the time for newborn session, but he had great eye control and was happy so this allowed us to document some wonderful awake photos of him!As you can see in the pictures below we also were able to get some prop shots. Because… I mean… what’s cuter than a baby in a bucket, right?!

Houston Newborn and baby Photography

Happy Tuesday friends! Is it just me, or is this Houston weather crazy?! As I was playing catch up on my blog, I remembered this particular session being so warm and cozy...I nice change from our crazy weather! When I was asked to be this sweet family's Houston baby and Maternity Photographer, I was thrilled.  This session had all the feels and I just HAD to share it.This session took place in this gorgeous family’s Houston Heights stunning home. With neutral décor and colors, this just really made my job as a bump-to-baby photographer so much easier. Think… greys, tans, whites…. a Houston baby and Maternity Photographer ’s dream come true and neutrals just really make for classic and timeless portraits. Being that this was their first pregnancy the only sibling that we had to include was their sweet and rather large fur-baby. We wanted to keep everything super simple and preserve the emotions that go along with being new parents. We included the book (pictured below) and stayed in the rooms that had that dreamy and ethereal natural light, while focusing on mom and dad. If you are looking for great photographic hacks for your new born baby, then visit My Babies Planet.I have been friends with Ashley for a few years so I was so flattered when she contacted me about their maternity and newborn portraits. As we all know, pregnancy can be stressful and they may not always go as planned; each and every pregnancy is unique! This session was originally going to take place outdoors but things didn't go as planned with Ashley’s pregnancy and she ended up on bed-rest. When unforeseen circumstances come up, I work to serve each of my clients with the best customer care so that we can still document this special time in their lives. So I packed up my camera gear and took to their beautiful home and did a lifestyle Houston baby and Maternity Photographer session, which has ended up being one of my favorites to date!I was even more excited that they booked my bump-to-baby plan so I also shot their sweet and precious newborn just a few short months later in my Houston studio.I hope all of my fans, fellow photographers, friends, and visitors love this session as much as I do. Keep scrolling down to see highlights from this special session.

Houston baby and Maternity Photographer

Something you may have not known about me-- I used to be a junior high algebra teacher!! One of my favorite parts about having a Houston Baby Boy Photography Studio is when my former co-workers and even students choose me to capture their fine art portraits. I love catching up with them and photographing their beautiful memories! My good friend Jen and I used to teach together so I was so honored when she came to visit me in my Houston Baby Boy Photography Studio last year. I also shot her daughter, Callan’s, newborn session several years ago in my early years as a photographer. I absolutely adore watching my clients add to their families and to watch their babies grow. Its one of the main reasons my job as a Houston newborn photographer is such a blessing to me!This newborn session was taken at my Houston Baby Boy Photography Studio located just South of downtown Houston. We used various tones of gray, blue, tan and a little bit of Texas Tech and Notre Dame gear too (mom is a TTU grad, Dad loves ND). Sweet Callan was also included in some of the shots. She was just the sweetest thing and loved on her brother so much. It’s not always EASY to get sibling shots, but we got several from this one. It was a super fun session to say the least! <3Below you will find the highlights from this perfect newborn and baby session.

Houston Baby Boy Photography Studio

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and I do have to admit, I am happy that we are already almost to the middle of the this week because I love spending time with my two munchkins over the weekend! Just to keep the variety coming what better way to do that then to one of my Houston Family Photography sessions!Meet the Moss family. I first met them during Cannon’s newborn almost two years ago.   It was such a pleasure reconnecting and catching up with them again. Having a gorgeous family to take pictures of tends to make my job a lot easier, because I find that my camera just loves this family why wouldn’t it?  They’re such beautiful people!! ;)  I do love switching it up from time to time from the usual newborn photography and love doing my occasional Houston Family Photography session every now and again!A little about the session: we chose to keep it simple to get the essence and spirit of their family, documenting them just the way they are. The session was primarily focused on the little boys, and it was so much fun because they shared such an adorable bond.  Because of that, it really made this family session an enjoyable experience. Little boys are so much fun to photograph because they tend to find their own knick knacks to find and play with during the session (leaves, sticks, rocks... just little boy things). This family always nails their wardrobe and this time it surely did not disappoint. They chose to dress in layers (which I LOVE) and it was a windy day so it gave this session just a small extra touch to the session.Scroll down to see the highlights from this adorable family and baby session!

newborn photography houston

Sometimes, I have clients who request a location completely different than my usual outdoor field setting. When this family contacted me, mom knew she wanted something in the city, so I chose this location in downtown Houston to create more of New Orleans urban vibe. It made for such a fun houston baby boy photography session and I love how it turned out!I had the pleasure of photographing this family for little man's newborn portraits a year ago and then again for his one year houston baby boy photography session this past spring. He was such a smiley boy which made for the best images! Those blue eyes are definitely going to be lady killers in a few years. And, their entire family is just so photogenic and that it makes my job easy. ;-) I hope you enjoy a peek at his adorable “urban” one year & family session!I just love these unique and different houston baby boy photography sessions.  If you'd like to book a session with me, I'd love to meet you.  Please do get in touch via email, text, message, however.  I would love to document these moments for you too!! <3  Be sure to click on my website: www.tarynmelgozaphoto.com to get those contact details, and to view highlights from this session, be sure to take a peek below!

I have had the pleasure of working with this gorgeous couple 3 times over the past few years: first for their engagement photos, then their intimate wedding with close family and friends, and now I got to shoot their Houston Tx Maternity Photography session for their first baby!They are an extremely photogenic couple so it's impossible for them to take a bad photo! We had some pretty evening light to work with which made for some dreamy baby bump images. They booked their Houston Tx Maternity Photography bump-to-baby plan so I also got to photograph their little man's newborn photos when he arrived early this summer! What a handsome boy he is! I can’t wait to share his newborn session soon. I hope you enjoy a sneak into their maternity session from this spring. :)

Houston Tx Maternity Photography

This little man was one of my baby planners this past year and he sure was a cutie! Those big blue eyes just melted me! We did his nine month milestone session on a weekday evening, so we really had to work to get some smiles since he was pretty worn out from a fun day at school…but we managed to get some! Mom brought along the cutest "little man" outfits with the fedora, tie, and classic jeans and white shirt and they look adorable on him! We also got a few with big sister who happens to be one of the sweetest gals I know! This little guy turned one in May, so I am a little behind in blogging his sessions, but it's always better late than never. I sure am going to miss seeing this family every few months for their baby milestone sessions! I got to know them so well during little man’s first year that they started to feel like family to me...”K” family, you will be missed but I hope to see y’all soon!!

I was so honored when I was contacted about photographing this sweet baby boy's newborn session. He happens to be boy #3 for this new family and they could not be more excited to welcome him into all the FUN! I had the pleasure of meeting both big brothers at the session and they are just the sweetest little guys ever! It was important to capture a nice sibling shot for their gorgeous mom and I think we definitely succeeded. :-) Dad happens to be an Aggie graduate (whoop!) as well as an avid fisherman, so we incorporated both of these themes into baby boy’s newborn session. Mom brought the fishing props along to get the perfect fishing themed newborn photo! We had a great session with little Jace; he was a great sleeper and such a handsome little guy. Thanks W family for a great session!

This little man was a little over 4 months old when we did his tummy time milestone session earlier this year, so he was already a pro at rolling over and really trying hard to figure out how to crawl...slow down little man! I'm so glad we got his session done before he was really on the move! ;-) It was great to see one of my favorite maternity clients again, but this time in my studio just south of Houston. They are all such a beautiful family and their maternity session was one of my favorite sessions ever...the dreamy golden light gorgeous parents, perfect location.  Luke has such big gorgeous blue eyes and gave me so many smiles during his session – ohmigoodness, what a little heartbreaker! One of my favorite baby stages is when they grab their little feet…it seriously melts my heart and I think every parent needs a photo of their baby at this fun age! I hope you enjoy a little peek into this creamy and neutral tummy time milestone session!

I probably say this a lot, but gosh, I love my job! It's such a pleasure getting to watch "my" babies grow into little people during their first year of life! We did Cash's newborn session over a year ago in the Pearland studio and he came back to visit me again recently for his one year & cake smash session. Mom planned the cutest birthday theme using inspiration from the Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? children’s book and it turned out perfect! His parents are both graduates of Texas Tech so we threw a few football themed Tech photos in there as well. I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from his session!

When this mommy-to-be first contacted me about photographing her precious TWIN babies last year, I was soooo excited! I don't get to photograph twins too often, so when the opportunity comes along, I jump on it! Working with twins gives me a chance to think outside the box in terms of posing and incorporating props...while also giving me a little bit of a challenge. Getting two babies calm, sleepy, and posed can definitely take some practice, but as you can see the outcome is worth all of the effort. Mom wanted to stick with neutral colors for their session and I love how it turned out, simple, natural, and timeless. The crazy thing is, these cuties are going to be celebrating their first birthday in just a few months...! I can't wait to photograph them again for their one year session. I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites from their newborn session!

This Houston maternity session was one of those sessions where you just KNOW you are going to love every.single.image. We had the most perfect sun-drenched evening, a simply stunning mommy & daddy (to-be), a leaf blower to achieve that perfect wind-blown look, and lots and lots of LOVE. I had so much fun getting to know this sweet couple and I know their baby boy is already the center of their worlds. They booked my Baby Milestone Plan but unfortunately I had to miss their newborn session because I was on hospital bed-rest with my sweet Penelope when their baby boy arrived. But, I am super excited to get to meet baby boy this coming weekend when I photograph his "tummy-time" session in the studio! Stay tuned for sneaks of thier adorable little man!!

I'm excited to introduce you to this handsome little man! I had the pleasure of working with this cutie a few months ago for his very first official Houston newborn photography session. He was such a handsome baby and slept so great for his newborn session. We did his session in the my studio located south of Houston and even got a few shots with his gorgeous mommy too!  I loved the variety of shots and colors that we used in his session…and check out the adorable fox hat that Brooks modeled for us.☺I have everything we need in the studio for your newborn session; a large collection of hats, bonnets, props, wraps, fabrics, etc.  My goal is to make your newborn session as stress free and easy as possible.  But I do encourage my parents to bring a family heirloom or a special prop that may to incorporate into their newborn's sessions.Some parents do not want to be photographed during the newborn session, but I highly encourage at least one parent photos.  I know new parents are tired during those first few weeks and getting yourself ready photo-ready can be daunting.  But I promise you will cherish those images, as they are only little newborns this one time!  What a treasure you have to be able to show them how tiny they looked in their mommy's arms as they grow into tiny humans.I hope you enjoy a few sneak peeks! I feel so blessed to get to work with so many precious miracles and pretty families!
