Fun in the City

Houston area photographer, Sara Hunt, recently co-hosted a fine art photography workshop in New Jersey with fellow photographer Deborah Koch of Deborah Koch Photography.  The two photographers joined forces to offer an extensive 2 day workshop focusing on Newborn, Child, Maternity and Family photography.  During their Making Magic Workshop, Deborah and Sara discussed the fundamentals of photography and how to create extraordinary and magical images.  The first day began in the studio with two adorable newborn babies who were perfect little models while Sara covered studio lighting and newborn wrapping and posing.  Deborah and Sara also demonstrated Fine Art Studio and Outdoor Child, Maternity and Mommy and Me posing with some incredible child models and a gorgeous expecting mother.  The Making Magic Workshop concluded with a business and marketing discussion and several hours of real time editing where students could watch the instructors edit their images from start to finish.


Sara & Deborah were so lucky and beyond grateful to have the ever so talented Colleen Niciejewski of CAM Photography host the workshop in her incredible studio, as well as, have sponsorships from Luneberry, Little Dreamers Tutus, Summerana, & Katharina Hakaj Couture who provided child couture dresses, elegant maternity gowns, and discount vouchers to newborn props, couture dresses & digital overlays/textures. 


The trip would not be complete without sight seeing and a little shooting in the streets of New York City!!

Mommy and Me photography sessions are a beautiful way to capture the special bond between a mother and her children. These sessions are designed to create timeless, elegant portraits that showcase love, connection, and warmth. Featuring dreamy backdrops, luxurious gowns, and delicate floral elements, these sessions highlight the beauty of motherhood in an artistic and sophisticated way. Mommy and Me photography captures fleeting moments of childhood and motherhood in a way that can be treasured for generations. I am offering Mommy and Me minis (in my Magnolia studio) for those that want to keep it simple with one look and Mommy and Me full sessions for those who want the entire motherhood experience, which will include gowns and the opportunity to photograph all four setups offering a variety of looks for mom to enjoy.

Christmas...already? It's only Spring, why would I even be thinking of Christmas pictures at this time of year? Well, since I am an Ambassador for a backdrop company and they are getting ready to launch their new holiday line in a few months, we have to start photographing these gorgeous sets early! So...this is an excellent way for you to get some beautiful Christmas pictures done early and at a super discounted price. These will be done at my Montgomery, Tx studio (in the Magnolia area) meeting during the week (Monday-Friday) at a time that is convenient for you and your family. I am needing 2-3 families to photograph for a couple "family" setups and then I will need a few child models (between the ages of 4-9) for some different holiday setups that I will be photographing over the next couple months. Child models must be cooperative and take instruction well so if your little one is camera shy I don't recommend applying to be a model until they are a little older. **Modeling sessions are $175+tax and will be due on session day.** What's included: 20-30 min studio session 2 different Christmas backdrops/sets 3 digital images (w/ option to purchase more) Child gowns to use during the session (depending on size needed) Dates will be discussed upon selection so if you are chosen, I will reach out to you and we will discuss when we can meet for the session. Family model sessions will be done within the next couple weeks. If you are interested in modeling for me please fill out the contact form below, answer all questions and submit a picture of who will be photographed to be considered for this modeling session. Thank you!
