Family Day Session in Waco. A slow afternoon spent riding bikes through the neighborhood, playing in the front yard, and documenting this season of life exactly as it feels right now with 2 growing boys.
Brianne's Family Hour session spent photographing her first pregnancy in a field full of wildflowers and butterflies. A moment just for her and baby girl.
An afternoon spent slowly moving through life at home together. We picked flowers and vegetables from the garden, swung in the backyard, spent time on the porch, and let the kids simply be kids. The whole evening was filled with both relaxed portraits and the in between memories that make a home feel like theirs.

We settle in with portraits

Family time centered around the things you naturally love to do together. Popsicles in the backyard, playing games, baking pancakes, or simply slowing down at home together. The Family Day allows for alot of time to settle in here and document what you value most.

I typically book 3–6 months in advance for family sessions and potentially further out for any particular occasions.
When should I book my session?
04
Yes! I travel often. I am based out of DFW but travel frequently in Texas and throughout the United States for family sessions. Check my 2026 travel dates by joining my email list or instagram @frontgatephoto. Please inquire to learn more.
Do you travel for sessions?

Absolutely. Payment plans are available and can be broken into two or three installments, with additional flexibility offered based on a family’s needs.

The Family Hour gives you portraits to open and then organic coverage to close. One scene, one location, beautifully focused. This is reserved specifically for maternity, newborn, and families with very young children. The Family Day is all about time with your family doing the thing you love most. After a few portraits, we get into your favorite activity and document it properly on film.
The Family Hour is a single chapter. The Family Day is the whole story. With young kids especially, the Day is almost always the right call, an hour is just when everyone's warming up.
