• I value beautiful, professional portraits of my family.
• I want to be IN pictures with my children, not always behind the camera.
• I'm prepared to invest in an album or artwork from this session.

If yes, you're in the right place.

MAMA is just you and your kids. By design. The whole campaign is built around the woman who's never in the photos with her own children, so that's where the focus stays. If you want a full family session with your partner, parents, siblings, or the dog, that's my standard Family Session, and we can schedule that separately at any point. Two different experiences, both available.

No. MAMA is for real mothers who want beautiful portraits of themselves with their kids and are ready to invest in the work. Selection is based on fit, not appearance.

A custom portrait experience at my studio on Main Street in McAllen. Your time with me, planning guidance, the session itself, a private reveal where I help you choose your favorites, and a $300 credit toward your album order.

Fair question. MAMA is a campaign, not a discount. The focus is specific. Just you and the kids, an hour, denim and a tee, different from a full family shoot. The waived session fee lets new clients experience the studio without that barrier, and gives past clients a reason to come back for this specific kind of session. Products stay at full price. Most women who come through MAMA stay with me for years.

No formal minimum, but MAMA is built for mothers who want printed work from the session. Most MAMA clients invest between $1,500 and $7,000 depending on whether they choose The MAMA Six, an album, wall art or all three.

The MAMA Six (six matted gift prints) starts at $1,500. The signature album (10-image Short Story) is $3,500. The 20-image Favorites album is $4,500. Folio boxes are available at studio pricing.

For the mom who'd rather have one beautiful statement piece on her wall than a set of small prints, framed wall art starts at $875 for a 10-inch piece and runs through gallery-sized portraits for the homes that have a wall waiting for one. Wall art can be purchased on its own or alongside any of the above.

Every printed image you purchase comes with a social-media-sized digital file, ready to share. Album clients can add three MAMA gift prints for $675.

Because spots are limited and a real session takes real planning on my end. The $300 deposit is required to secure your spot once accepted. It's not a session fee. It's fully credited toward your album, prints, or wall art at your reveal.

Sessions run in June 2026. If June genuinely doesn't work for your family, tell me in your application and I'll see if I can flex into early July. June is the campaign window. July is the exception, not the rule.

Easiest wardrobe ever. Denim is the constant. On top: tank, tee, button down, sweater, or a cool vintage tee. White, cream, navy, black, or tonal pieces that coordinate. Cool t-shirts are welcome as long as the group looks intentional together, like a fashion campaign. Kids in jeans and simple tops too. Barefoot, sneakers, heels, clogs, all good. Make it denim. Make it you. Once your application is accepted I'll send a one-page Mama Style Guide and you can text me a quick photo of what you're thinking before the session.

321 N. Main Street, Building B, McAllen, Texas. On-site parking, climate-controlled, set up for kids and grown-ups alike.
