Choosing the Right Photographer for Your Family
Choosing a photographer is a personal decision. You are not just booking a session. You are choosing someone to document one of the most special seasons of your life while also creating beautiful custom artwork for your home.
The Houston area offers many talented photographers, each with a different style and approach. Because of that, the right choice comes down to what feels most aligned with you, your family, and what you value.
Finding a Style That Feels Right
Every photographer sees moments differently. For that reason, it helps to notice what draws you in visually before you book.
As you look through a photographer’s portfolio, pay attention to how the images feel. Do the moments look natural or heavily posed? Are the tones soft and timeless, or bold and bright? Most importantly, do the images feel warm and connected?
Here at Shannon Reece Jones Photography, our portrait sessions focus on natural connection and real emotion. We guide families gently while allowing space for moments to unfold. This approach creates images that feel classic, honest, and true to your family.
No style is better than another. What matters most is choosing the one that feels right to you.
Feeling Comfortable With Your Photographer
Style matters, but comfort matters just as much. You should feel welcomed and supported from the very first conversation.
Throughout the process, we guide clients through planning, styling, and what to expect during their session. I encourage questions and conversations along the way, whether they are about clothing, hair and makeup, or how the session will flow.
Because preparation happens ahead of time, sessions feel relaxed and un-rushed. This allows families to settle in and enjoy their time together.
What Makes This Experience Different
This studio focuses on creating artwork, not just taking photographs.
After your session, we will guide you through selecting heirloom albums, wall art, and fine art prints designed just for you and for your home. These pieces allow your images to live in your space and become part of your everyday life.
Over time, these photographs grow in meaning. They tell your family’s story and preserve this season in a tangible way.
Professional Care From Start to Finish
Experience and preparation guide every session. From safety practices and professional equipment to thoughtful planning and careful editing, I approach each step with intention.
Before your session, we talk through details like locations, outfits, and timing. During your session, we offer gentle direction so you never feel unsure. Afterward, we will walk you through your images and help you choose artwork that fits your home.
This process exists so you can feel confident and cared for from the first conversation to the final piece of artwork.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
If you are considering a session and would like to learn more, we would love to connect with you. A pre-session consultation offers the perfect opportunity to ask questions and make sure this experience feels like the right fit for your family.
I look forward to meeting you and creating beautiful artwork for your home.
Lots of Love!
Shannon
