Family portraits in the Grand Tetons are like something straight out of a storybook. With the towering peaks and wide-open skies, the mountains create the perfect backdrop for your next family's session.
The natural beauty around us makes everything feel a little more magical.

deep in the heart of texas
rolling plains
It’s been such a fun ride getting to work with this family for the past five years. Watching their kids grow, seeing their family change and evolve, and being able to capture those moments has been such a joy. I love that they keep coming back year after year—it feels more like catching up with friends than a photoshoot. It's been an absolute privilege to be a part of their story and see how their family continues to grow!

There’s something about fall that just adds extra warmth to family photos. The golden leaves, soft sunlight, and cozy vibes make everything feel a little more intimate and laid-back. Whether you're snuggled up in sweaters or just enjoying the crisp air, the colors and light of fall naturally bring out those warm, happy moments that make family photos even more special. It’s the perfect time to capture all the love and laughter that comes with being together.

home is where the heart is
midland Rooftop
Life gets busy, and it's easy to push things like photo sessions to the bottom of the to-do list. You might feel like you need to wait for the "perfect moment"—whether it’s waiting until everyone looks their best, until schedules align, or until you can plan the ideal photo location. There’s also the feeling that family photos can be a big commitment of time and effort, especially with young kids or busy schedules. Plus, you may feel a little uncomfortable in front of the camera or worry that the process might be stressful. But the truth is, the best time for family photos is now—because those moments you think are ordinary are often the ones you'll look back on the most fondly.

If you're looking for a change of scenery, why not take your family photos on vacation? Whether it's the beach, a mountain retreat, or a cozy getaway, having your family photos taken in a new setting adds a whole new vibe to the memories. The relaxed atmosphere of being on vacation naturally brings out more genuine, carefree moments, and the stunning backdrop of a beach, with its soft sand and beautiful sunsets, makes for a truly unique and unforgettable setting. It’s the perfect way to document your family not just in everyday life, but in a place that’s special to you, with a fresh twist on traditional family portraits. Plus, it's a great excuse to make even more memories while you're at it!

Couldn’t ask for a better photographer. Esther has done solo portraits of my kids, birthdays, family photos, a sister session for my girls, maternity photos, fresh 48 photos, you name it. She can rock any photo shoot. I couldn’t be happier with all of the photos she’s taken of us through the years. Do yourself a favor a book with her! She’s the best in west Texas!
