WELCOME TO VANESSA RACHEL PHOTOGRAPHY
Welcome!
North Houston's premiere Portrait Studio photographing Maternity, Newborn portraits, Family and Milestones. I am so glad you landed here!
There is something incredibly special about the way a family loves, connects, and grows together. My passion is capturing those authentic moments that tell your family’s legacy - the joy, tenderness and little in between moments. I’ve had the honor of photographing many families at all stages throughout the greater Houston area, and I’m here to guide you through every step of the process so you can relax, be present, and enjoy the experience. From planning to the final image, I’ll guide you through a thoughtfully curated experience with the knowledge and expertise that comes from more than 15 years behind the camera.
After all, this isn’t our first rodeo!

What should I wear for my photoshoot?
Wear outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Solid colors, minimal patterns, flowing fabrics and coordinating (but not matching) outfits work best for group photos. We’re happy to provide styling tips, just ask for our guide!
-
How long does a photoshoot take?
Session lengths vary depending on the type of shoot. Portrait sessions typically last 45 minutes to an hour, while more extensive sessions such as newborn, can take several hours.
-
When will I receive my photos?
Editing takes time to ensure the best quality. We process all images in-house, no outsourcing. Most sessions are delivered within 2-3 weeks depending on the volume of photos taken. Rush processing may be available upon request.
-
When should I schedule my maternity session?
We suggest the timeframe between 28-32 weeks for maternity photos. For your comfort and confidence it's best to get them done before you are feeling too fatigued during the last trimester. Our session openings tend to fill each month, so be sure to inquire and book early to reserve your preferred date.
-
What happens if the weather is bad for an outdoor session?
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we can reschedule for another day or move the session to an indoor location. We’ll stay in touch and make the best decision together.
-
Are children and spouse included in Maternity and Newborn photos?
Yes! We want this to be a family experience, just like every day at home. Some of the most precious images are older siblings interacting with the new baby. We would not want to miss that!
-
Do you provide props or wardrobe options?
Yes! We have a variety of props, wraps, headbands, girls and boys outfits plus quite a few beautiful dresses for Maternity and Newborn sessions in our Client Closet. We also have some very special (Tutu du Monde) little girl dresses for family and milestone portraits.

This gives your child a deep sense of love and belonging in this big crazy world and is so key for the developing young years. Location sessions can be done in the comfort of your own home or specific outdoor areas in Houston, Spring, Cypress, Katy, Conroe, Tomball and many other surrounding city's. We also offer Studio options, please inquire so we can find the perfect location for you. To begin planning your session just fill out a contact form. After receiving your information, I will reach out to schedule a phone call or in person consult to chat about your ideas and the vision of what you are hoping to create. The best part of the process is of course the image reveal to view your photos and pick what you love! There are so many great products to choose from including fine art prints, gallery wrapped canvas prints, metal + acrylic prints, framed art, custom albums, digital files and more. We are so excited to get to know you and provide a truly personal experience!
