What a delightful mix of happy and discovery. I love these facial expressions. What a sweet girl!
As I photograph every day life, these casual moments truly make such photographic gems. This is what we want to remember about babyhood!
Every Day Photography
These two fun ladies are part of a non-traditional internet based school. The Turning Point Academy was photographed by studio|detro to help interested families visualize how this learning environment is different than a traditional 7 to 3 kind of classroom.
Something I love about photographing people being people is that “connection”. We love looking in on other people’s lives!

Family Photography in a Cozy Restaurant
Seen those fun engagement sessions in a trendy restaurant or a unique coffee house? I’ve been eagerly waiting for the family photography session that includes a fun meal out.
Why not?! We love good food and we love air conditioning in Houston!
While I wait, I’ll practice image making at restaurants on my own family members. Here, my daughter and my sister in law enjoy some time together after dinner.
"A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed."
— Ansel Adams
"A photograph is neither taken nor seized by force. It offers itself up. It is the photo that takes you."
— Cartier Bresson
Check out the precious feedback on this Exclusive Pre-Baby session. These are portraits made of the expecting couple in their home environment, telling the story of their excitement and anticipation. We spent time dressed up strolling through the neighborhood parks, too. How fun to document a couple becoming a family!
Christmas tastes great! It’s so fun to have a record of impromptu moments. These images are story tellers and conversation starters. Sure, they’re not the stereotypical “baby smiling at the camera” photographs - that’s what we’re aiming for - something true to life!
I love that you can tell so much about this little angel. She’s still exploring the world through her taste buds. She’s learning to unwrap presents, but maybe for the activity and not the present. She has the cutest pink toes.
Make a photograph tell a story.
Family photography can be fresh and unforced. That’s what we love about lifestyle shooting! It’s an excuse to play together - dressed up or dressed down.
Yes, a group shot is fun to have years from now. A group shot with a young family is not always fun to make. Changing our planning and expectations before we start ramps ups the fun factor!
A typical studio detro session with the whole family makes time for several impromptu group shots and spends the rest of the time moving around and being together. Time with Mom and Dad is something those preschoolers relish. Not having to boss the kids around makes Mom and Dad use real smiles. It’s totally win win!
