DFW Family Photographer Shares Her Signature Styling Process

As a DFW family photographer, one of the things I’ve become known for is my carefully curated styling process that takes all the stress out of getting dressed for your photo session.

After photographing hundreds of Dallas, Fort Worth families over the past six years, I’ve learned that styling can make or break the look and feel of your session. It’s not just about what you wear—it’s how it all flows together with the location, the light, the season, and yes—even my editing style.

A Dallas Family Photographer’s Styling Secret: Start With Mom

When I begin styling for a family or maternity session, I always start with the mom. Why? Because when mom feels confident and beautiful, the energy of the whole shoot shifts. I start by asking mom the right questions. Once I have those, the hunt begins. I look for something that flatters her body type, fits her personality, and photographs beautifully within my soft, emotive editing style. Paying close attention to textures, movement, and colors that complement both her and the landscape. Whether that’s the warm glow of sunset in a field or the dreamy neutrals of a studio setup. I send her countless recommendations based off of her feedback. Once she selects her favorites, I will send her direct links so she can decide what works best for her.

Helping Dad and the Kids Look Effortlessly Put Together

Once we have mom’s outfit nailed down, I build the rest of the family’s looks around that. I guide you on dressing your husband in a way that complements mom’s outfit without feeling too match-y or stiff. I also provide help styling the kids by creating numerous boards to look through so they feel like themselves—just slightly more polishe . Think playful details, cozy knits, soft cottons, and colors that pop gently against the backdrop.

You don’t have to scroll Pinterest or spend hours shopping—I do the heavy lifting for you. I’ve spent years curating client wardrobe inspiration, putting together palettes, and sourcing options that are not only flattering, but also timeless. It’s all part of the full experience I offer as a Fort Worth family and maternity photographer.

Six Years in the Making—And the DFW Clients Rave About It

This styling process is something I’ve developed and refined over the last six years of working with families and expecting mothers across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. What began as simple outfit suggestions has evolved into a hands-on, thoughtful experience that makes my clients feel taken care of from the very beginning.

I’ve lost count of how many times families have told me, “You made this so easy,” or “I didn’t have to stress at all!” That’s the goal—to create a seamless, elevated experience before we even get to the actual session.
