I found Mary Ann on Instagram as I was searching for a photographer for this year's holiday photo…read moresession. I am so glad I was able to find her as her photos are beyond amazing and she's such a nice person to communicate with, even though it was just a mini session. I can only imagine the extra details and coordination she does for a full session. This year's session was $375 for 3 digital photos. Adding more digital were at an additional charge [of course]. Love that Santa was included! This year's holiday photo session took place outdoors in a Katy, wooded area. We were able to do a family session, kids session, and sessions with Santa. Santa was perfect! He was dressed in his finest red suit and had the perfect fluffy white beard. He intereacted with my boys as well, allowing them to tell him what they wanted for Christmas. Everyone was very patient with my boys and was able to get amazing photos. Though it was a "mini" session, I loved the multiple options she gave for us to do within that 20 min time frame. My sister had also booked a mini holiday session right after us and she was so reluctant to take photos of all of our 5 boys together ! [ I have 2 and my sister has 3]. Her communication throughout the whole thing was great! So responsive and had a quick and reasonable turn around time. She even asked for an special request of edits which she beautifully granted. I had a high slit dress that was a bit revealing and she was able to make it more modest. The photos speak for themselves. I highly recommend MJ for your photography needs. May it be individual portraits, family, holiday, maternity, newborn, etc.

I had seen and loved Mary Ann's photos so when I saw a promotional deal for Mother's Day, I jumped…read moreat the opportunity. I currently live in California but told her I would be in her area in October. She said, "Great...tell me what day works for you and I will try my best to make it happen." As hoped, she made it work. First, we had professional hair and makeup done by Avesta who truly is skilled and just the sweetest. This was such a treat. Then Mary Ann set my mom, my son and I up for success with great lighting, nice backgrounds and a ton of creative ideas. She was amazing with us and I know that we can be a lot to handle lol. The proofs we received showed our personalities, style and our love for one another. We feel truly blessed. Don't hesitate to book MJ 's Photography for your forever photos; it's an amazing experience!!!

My husband and I live in Katy, TX with our goldendoodle, Jasper. As a kid, my mom was always taking pictures of me and some of my favorite memories are getting my team pictures taken when I was a cheerleader. There was always something so fun about portraits and photography was always a big part of my life. Six years ago as a new yearbook and photojournalism teacher, I had to learn how to use a professional camera out of necessity. It was the scariest thing about my new role, but God knew what he was doing and knew that I would completely fall in love with being on the other side of the camera. I fell in love with storytelling and creating art with people while documenting important life milestones. I love making people feel beautiful and confident about themselves and seeing the joy in their eyes when we make something great together. There is so much joy in photography and I hope we get the opportunity to make art together. XO, Krista
