The Ultimate Guide to Houston Photographers

“A photograph is the pause button of life.” {- Ty Holland}  As moms, we know all too well how true that is.  While the days may seem long, the years are incredibly short.  Our sweet little babies are born one day and then seem to be heading off to college the very next.  And since we have yet to find a way to make Father Time slow down, the only way we can capture the precious moments with our little ones is through photography.  Which is why we are over the moon to bring you The Ultimate Guide to Houston Photographers!  It is our hope that this list will help you to find the perfect family photographer for all of your current and ongoing needs.  From newborn photos to senior portraits, and from mini sessions to family photos for your holiday cards, we’ve included a variety of different styles and sessions to help you find the perfect fit.

Before we begin, we have to give a tremendous thank you to our gracious photography sponsors who made this guide possible! We encourage you to explore their websites, connect with them on social media, and of course – book your session before it’s too late!!

Becoming a mother was the catalyst that caused Lara Lynn’s love of photography to blossom. She has 3 children {Preslee Lynn, Kaylee Pauline, and Jaxson Wayne}, and her family is her life. Some may know, some may not, but her daughter Preslee was in a terrible car accident on July 6th, 2013. By the grace of God, wonderful doctors, and prayer, her baby girl survived and is here with her today. She thought she knew what life was…until she got that phone call, and now, she wants to live differently and capture even more than she did before. She thought it would be impossible to do…but it is not. Hold onto life, and cherish it!  Lara Lynn is a natural light photojournalistic photographer of newborns, maternity, children, families, and weddings.  She is also a freelance photographer for Katy Magazine, Sugar Land Magazine, and Cy-Fair Magazine.
