The Official Homeshade Photography Website!

I do on location outdoor sessions in the early AM, or in the evenings. My weekends fill up quickly, so if you are interested in a Friday/Saturday evening; YOU NEED TO BOOK NOW. I also offer a few outdoor sessions in the evenings during the week if that works well for you. If you are interested in a beach session at the ‘pocket beach’ located in SE Houston, it must be done on a weeknight. Newborn sessions are scheduled during the day on weekdays. Please contact me PRIOR to birth if you are interested in a newborn session. The appointment must take place within the first 14 days of baby’s birth.

Official Houston Birth Photography Site Coming Soon!

While I Love births and am terribly saddened by this, I will be taking a short maternity leave from birth photography. Possibly starting as early as March, I will book one {1} homebirth or birthing center birth a month until July. I plan to nurse my baby, and home births/BC’s allow me the privacy to pump if I need to be away from my baby for that long! Once my new baby is on his schedule and eating more than mommy milk, I will re-evaluate my workload!

Births are booked on a first come, first serve basis!


My newborn sessions are typically booked during the day. If we are setting up a studio session in your home, I need an 8×8 space cleared out for my set up. I prefer to do a ‘studio’ session during the day. Sometimes evenings work better for you; please let me know if that is the case. If we are doing a ‘lifestyle’ session in your home, I need to utilize as much natural light as possible. These must be booked between 10am – 1pm.

Please understand that we are working with a sensitive timeline concerning some sessions. If you are interested in a maternity or a newborn session, please CONTACT me immediately to ensure a place on my books.

Pregnancy ‘bumps’ need to be photographed between weeks 28-34. Newborn sessions must be photographed before day 14. Beyond that, they are no longer interested in curling up. Cradle cap and baby acne starts setting in. Any session beyond day 14 is no longer treated as a newborn session. The expectation of curled, sleepy newborn look is gone and I will treat the session as a child/baby session. These are only available as an on-location outdoor session, or a ‘lifestyle’ indoor session.

Interested in booking?
Please fill out this CONTACT form and I will get back with you as soon as possible.
