Lubbock Family Photographer

The heart of your family, framed forever

 Your family's connection and love deserve to be captured in a way that lasts forever. From spontaneous giggles to heartfelt embraces, I create timeless portraits that showcase the beauty of your family’s unique story.

Hi, I’m Mary!

As a mom of six, a wife, and a lover of all things family, I know how fast time flies. One minute, your little ones are holding your hand, and the next, they’re off chasing their own dreams. That’s why I’m passionate about capturing the moments that matter—the laughter, the chaos, the love—while everyone is still together.

I enjoy sitting in the livingroom with my children thumbing through our old scrapbooks, reliving all the memories we created together.

FrequentlyAsked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Lubbock family photographer's

Excellent question! I always recommend neutrals and earth tones. They are simple and timeless. I also recommend different fabrics and textures to add a fun variety.

As a Lubbock family photographer, I recommend booking your family session as early as possible! My calendar fills up quickly, especially in the spring and fall when the weather is perfect. If you’re hoping for a specific season or date, reach out at least 3-4 months in advance to secure your spot.

I roughly deliver 40+ high resolution images per session within 2-3 weeks of your family session. All photos will be delivered on an online gallery where you can share and download your images. You can also print your photos or create an album inside the store gallery.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll reschedule for the next available date to ensure we capture your family in the best conditions. However, I do have a few locations that can be used during certain weather conditions.

Absolutely! We can include your pet into your session, just let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly. Just be sure to bring a pet taxi or have your pet on a leash. Remember to bring food and water to the session for your pet.

The answer is always YES! However, if you live outside of the 25 mile radius of Denver City, Texas, I do charge a travel fee.

Have additional questions?

Family photos aren’t just pictures; they’re treasured memories that tell your story for generations to come. Years from now, you’ll look back at these images and remember the joy, the cuddles, and even the wild, messy moments that made your family yours.
