Houston Family Photographer
Professional family portraits are important now more than ever. In our world of fast-paced busy lives, filled with camera phones and selfies, we often fall short of documenting our precious milestones for future generations to treasure.
As parents, we must remember to create valuable heirlooms to pass down to our children. Family Portraits are a great way to capture the story of your family’s life. We can create your family’s portrait in our studio, at your home, or let’s collaborate and select an on location venue. From newly engaged couples in love to parents holding their newborns with pride and every milestone in between, a professionally crafted family portrait is the art that tells your story.
Over the years, Lisa and I have photographed couples from their engagement sessions and weddings, to their first borns to their children’s senior portraits, and to their 25th wedding anniversaries. Imagine being able to share those precious milestones with your children and grandchildren for years to come through family portraiture.
In Studio Houston Family Photography
Attire for your Professional Family Portraits
That’s why Lisa and I connect with our clients to understand the essence of their family. We guide families through the family portrait process every step of the way, beginning with what to wear. We will help you decide and answer that common question of “What should I wear?”
Attire plays a key role in creating the perfect portrait as does the environment where the session is taken. Based on where we are creating your family portrait will aid us in determining the best clothing for everyone to wear. There should be color harmony and unity with the clothing selected as well as the location.
At Michael Carr Photography, we are seasoned professional portrait artists and able to address special requests.
As we know, Houston weather is highly unpredictable and humid. Studio portraiture eliminates the concerns for weather conditions. Rain or shine, cold or heat, you will always look great in a climate controlled environment with calculated lighting and custom backgrounds. Plus, our commercial studio has a dressing room and access to restrooms.

Top FAQ
How long does a family portrait session last?
Most family portrait sessions last about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the number of people and the location. We’ll guide you throughout the session so it feels relaxed and natural.
What should we wear for our family portraits?
It depends on the look you’re going for. For formal family portraits, we suggest timeless outfits like tailored dresses, button-down shirts, or suits in neutral or classic tones. For a casual or lifestyle session, coordinated outfits in soft colors or textures (like knits or linen) photograph beautifully. Avoid busy patterns, logos, or neon colors. As your Houston family photographer, we’re happy to provide personalized wardrobe guidance based on your vision.
When will we see our family photos?
You’ll return to the studio for a personalized ordering appointment about one to two weeks after your session. This is where you’ll view your images and choose your artwork.
