Yes, I Am Your Now-And-Later Photographer.

Houston Portrait Photographer

Working with my people as their families grow, their lives change and experiences are had — that is something I’ll never tire of.

“There’s no one like Allison. Family of 5 here and she showed so much patience with us. The boys were wild and she captured even the unplanned moments that occurred. Every photo was beautiful and we are so appreciative for her being a part of this special time. We did lifestyle newborn/family pictures. If you’re looking for someone…choose her!”

THE PROCESS

You’re 5 Steps Away From Honest Photos That Represent You

01. Read all of my and request availability

As soon as I hear from you (my contact page is best!), I’ll follow up to verify availability and confirm the package you’re interested in. I’ll also send a link so we can chat on the phone for about 15 minutes to ensure that I’m the right photographer for you.


02. Reserve your date

With your session type selected — we’ll get your photos on my calendar with a contract and booking retainer. It’s all taken care of online and is the last order of business before we get to the exciting parts — planning and taking your photos!


03. Customize your session

Once we’re official, we’ll narrow down the location with some of my exclusive
recommendations (studio, fields, beach or a hidden locale that is exactly what you were looking for). You’ll also get preparation help from me with tips for getting ready, feedback on putting outfits together that will match your location and other unique ways to personalize your session.


04. Take your photos

On the day of, we’ll be looking for blue skies and sunshine (the best way to get my signature photography style that brought you here in the first place). As long as that’s the case, we’ll all show up feeling confident and comfortable. Basking in the sunshine is a definite perk. I just ask that you do your best to be real. I’ll give direction to create the entire image while keeping it true to you.


05. Then order your prints and albums!

I provide a built-in print shop so you can get these photos on your wall stat. And of course, just 3 weeks after your session, you’ll get a digital gallery with all of the downloadable images ready to go. You’ll be posting it all on Instagram in minutes.

A Few Questions & Their Answers

About working with this Houston portrait photographer

How do you take photos that really feel like us?

It all comes down to mixing my experience with an understanding of who you are. I take some time at the beginning of our session to keep the camera in my bag, ask your kids about themselves and to break the ice. That way, by the time the camera is out, you won’t have any reservations about relaxing a little more than you expected. That comfort level makes a world of a difference in photos that are tense versus expressive.


Where are we going to take our pictures?

This is a very important question because the location can influence the look of the session. Picking a location is just like picking your outfits — it needs to represent you. As your photographer, we’ll work together to select a place that either holds meaning for you, or that fits your vision for family photos. I’m a Houston native so my secret weapon is knowing some of the most stunning locations in the area.


What if our kids are a little unruly?

This is the kind of day where we’ll let the kids think they’re in charge while we secretly guide them into taking the cutest photos. It’s not a day for discipline, but is instead a day for bribes and stress-free parenting. It’s worth breaking a couple of rules for family photos like these.


Where will our photos be shared?

The photos I take in every session are a bit like the handcrafted recipes a chef might spend hours to create. Every chef wants others to enjoy that meal too, right? Sharing the photos I take is crucial when it comes to giving others a taste of the same experience you had with me. That being said, if you have any concerns over privacy, please let me know prior to booking so that we can customize your contract.

“I have had the privilege of working with Allison for pretty much every special occasion in my life! From my engagement photos, to using her as our wedding photographer, baby announcement photos, and maternity pictures, we will never use another photographer besides her! She is professional, makes sure we get every pose we want, edits and returns your photos in a timely manner, and always makes sure her clients look their best! I HIGHLY recommend Allison Ruth Photography for your next special occasion or family photo sesh!”
