THE FAMILY EXPERIENCE
what if your family session didn't feel like a checklist, but a deep breath?
Around here, family sessions are about so much more than smiling at the camera. They’re about slowing down, showing up, and seeing the beauty in your real, everyday connection.
As your photographer, I bring more than a camera. I bring patience (the deep-breath, we’ve-got-time kind), a calm spirit that keeps sessions relaxed, and all the silly sounds and games that help your kids light up. I definitely believe in the power of a good bribe when necessary, BUT I love giving families the opportunity to truly slow down and just focus on playing together and fully enjoying one another.
Because my goal is to help you relax and feel present, I also provide wardrobe for mom and style guidance to take the stress off your plate. Professional hair and makeup coordination is also available to you if you would like. Because your job should be to just show up and be together, not to overthink the outfits.
Whether we’re exploring one of Houston’s dreamy outdoor spots or creating something cozy in-studio, I’ll meet your family exactly where you are—with energy, empathy, and an eye for the tiny moments that matter most. The way your toddler clings to your leg. The crinkle-nose laugh from your oldest. The glances that say, “This is us. And it’s good.”
Because I’m not here to make you look perfect. I’m here to remind you how beautiful your real life already is.

Allie is fantastic to work with and takes beautiful pictures! We did family photos with her when our daughter was 4 months old, so when it came to choosing a photographer to capture our daughter's first birthday we knew we wanted to work with Allie! She is down to earth, super sweet and captures beautiful moments. We can't recommend her enough!
"we knew we wanted to work with Allie"
I cannot say enough good things about Allie. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she makes the entire process from initial booking to gallery delivery seamless! Both sessions we have had with her have been fun and stress free (even with newborn twins!). We love the images received and have them plastered all over our home, our office and we even made albums! We look forward to many more sessions with Allie as our family continues to grow up.
"We look forward to many more sessions"
From the moment I contacted Allie, she was helpful, quick, and just a kind soul. Despite my initial camera nervousness Allie did a great job giving us tips, keeping us chatting, and laughing the entire time. We got our photos back--and y'all they are AMAZING. I can't even choose a favorite because I love them so much. 10/10 hire Allie, she is worth it!

Frequently Asked Questions
I offer sessions year-round—because there’s never a wrong time to capture your memories.
Whether you’re dreaming of that soft Spring bloom, the rich colors of Fall, or you’d rather stay cool during a hot Texas summer (or cozy during a chilly winter!) with an indoor studio session, we’ll find the perfect setting for your season.
My calendar usually fills up two months in advance, so I do recommend reaching out as soon as possible to make sure we can lock in the best date for you and your family!
when should i schedule my session?
Don’t worry—I've got you! I provide a curated client closet with beautiful dresses for moms to borrow, plus a free style guide to help the whole family coordinate with ease.
But if you’re just looking for a quick tip: soft neutrals and light colors tend to photograph beautifully. They keep the focus right where it belongs—on your connection, your joy, and those in-between moments that make your family yours.
I’m here to make this easy and fun, so you feel as good as you look.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
When it comes to choosing a location for your session, I’ve done the legwork for you. You’ll get to choose from a selection of carefully curated spots—each one chosen for its soft, flattering light, beautiful backdrops, and an overall calm, enjoyable experience.
Whether you’re drawn to open fields, quiet gardens, or an elegant indoor studio, every option is designed to help you feel at ease and look your best. My goal is to take the guesswork out of location planning so you can simply show up and feel cared for from the start.
what location should i choose?
All sessions take place in or near Houston, Texas, but I’m always open to travel! If you have a location in mind that’s meaningful to you, let’s chat about bringing your vision to life—wherever it may be.
do you travel?
I deliver 40-50 edited images for each family session. This estimate is normally on the lower side since I tend to be an over-shooter. I love delivering my client’s files quickly and easily via an online gallery. You will have the ability to print, share and download your images from your gallery.
HOW MANY IMAGES CAN I EXPECT?
I deliver galleries within two weeks of your session. That window gives me the time and space to edit each image with intention—making sure every photo you receive meets the standard of beauty, consistency, and heart that I believe your memories deserve.
I never rush this process, because these aren’t just pictures—they’re pieces of your story. And I want you to have images you’re proud to keep, print, and pass down for years to come.
It’s always worth the wait

BOOK YOUR SESSION
I offer two session options so your family can choose what feels like the best fit.
Petite Sessions
Short and sweet, these sessions are perfect for milestone moments like celebrating a new baby stage, announcing your pregnancy, or simply capturing your little ones while their attention spans are still tiny! Petite sessions are quick, meaningful, and designed to preserve those fleeting in-between seasons without overwhelm.
Full Sessions
Full sessions are for families who want the luxury of slowing down. With extra time, we can relax into the experience, letting personalities shine and candid moments unfold naturally. These sessions include access to my client wardrobe for mamas, professional hair and makeup coordination, studio location options, and even the ability to add on video for a deeper storytelling experience.
Whether you’re celebrating something specific or simply want to capture your family as you are right now, both options are designed to give you meaningful images you’ll treasure for years.
To see detailed pricing and availability, just reach out through my contact page linked below! I’d love to hear your story and help you decide which session is the perfect fit for your family.

You'll be able to look through my dress options for mom, let me know your favorite options, and select hair and makeup services if you would like.
4. The day of our session, we will capture a few looking and smiling photos to frame, and then we will jump into more candid poses which include lots of playful prompts, games, and some breaks when needed. Don't worry about wasting time, I love taking these moments to focus on other members who are more interested in photos. We will carefully and intentionally give attention to each family member as is best suited to them. As a mom of four little ones, you really can't shock me with behavior, I'm ready for it! :)

And then within two weeks, you will receive your entire online gallery. This online gallery will be very easy to share with friends and family.
