Santa Sessions in North Houston and The Woodlands, TX | Silver Image Photography

2026 Santa Sessions

November 14, 21 & 22

At my studio, Santa doesn’t just arrive for pictures. He settles in, shares a story, checks the nice list, and makes time for the little ones who have been waiting all year to see him.

Some of my favorite moments happen when a child gets caught up in the experience and forgets all about the camera. That’s when the real magic happens.

Every year, I transform Silver Image Photography into a special Christmas experience, with two beautifully designed settings: this year we have our elegant Victorian Christmas scene and our cozy traditional fireplace. Each offers its own kind of holiday magic, creating the perfect backdrop for portraits that feel timeless and personal.

Every child experiences Santa a little differently.

Some children are ready to tell Santa everything the moment they arrive.

Some prefer to watch from a safe distance before coming closer.

And some just need a little extra time to feel at ease.

There’s room for all of it here.

Our Santa sessions are about more than getting the perfect picture. They’re about giving your child time to experience the excitement, wonder, and traditions of Christmas in their own way. Through stories, activities, conversation, and those little unexpected moments, we create an experience that feels personal and meaningful.

I gently guide the experience and capture the genuine expressions, little interactions, and fleeting moments that make your child who they are right now.

Because one day, you may not remember every detail of that Christmas season, but you’ll be glad you have the photographs that bring it all back.

What Should My Child Wear?

When choosing outfits for your Santa session, think timeless, festive, and true to your family’s style. Classic Christmas colors, rich holiday tones, velvet, cozy knits, pajamas and traditional dresses or little suits all photograph beautifully in our Victorian Christmas and traditional fireplace settings.

You don’t have to dress everyone alike or go overly formal. Choose pieces that complement each other and feel comfortable for your child.

Family Portraits | What to Wear | Silver Image Photography | Spring, TX

What do I wear for family portraits?

If we had time, we would love to be able to go with each person and help them choose the best clothes for their portraits. Unfortunately, we don't. Don't fear though! We have a few helpful tips that will help you in your wardrobe selection! Keep in mind, clothes are supposed to enhance the photos. Not be a distraction!

1. You want to coordinate but not match exactly! Choose complementary or analogous colors and mix it up! If everyone wears the same white shirt and blue jeans...it looks a little too matchy-matchy. 
2.  Solid colors are usually the best choice. If you choose to wear a pattern, make sure it's small...no crazy zebra strips. You don't want to be the only person someone notices when they look at the portrait.
3. Everyone should know the rule that darker colors make things look smaller. If you are worried about your weight, don't wear a white or neon shirt!
4. Change up the clothing styles. Have one person wear jeans, one person in a dress, one in khakis, etc.
5. Don't forget accessories! Jewelry, scarves, hats....
6. Make sure your shoes match! We don't want crazy colored tennis shoes that don't match anything. The only thing you will notice in the portrait are the neon shoes. So, either dress shoes, casual shoes, or color matching tennis shoes. 
7. We are creating a piece of art to hang on your wall. Think about where you will be hanging your family portrait. You want to choose clothes that will complement your style and decor. If you don't have anything red in your house, then don't choose red to wear in your family photo. 

We suggest laying everyone's clothes out together, either on the floor or the bed. If there's one item that really seems to stick out...try to find something else. 

Fall Pictures | Family Portraits | Houston, TX

CAN YOU FEEL IT?!  Fall is coming! Well, for Texans, that just means we are finally out of the high 90's and things are finally starting to cool down.

Fall....so many wonderful things to enjoy. Pumpkins, sweaters, art and craft shows, Renaissance festival, scarecrows, caramel apples, apple cider, and of course, Starbuck's pumpkin lattes! It's one of my absolute favorite times of the year! Even though we still have temperatures in the 90's, it's September...and that means I can finally put out my fall decorations without judgement! 

This is also a great time to start to think about family portraits. Make sure to get your family pictures done before the crazy holiday rush is here. Especially if you want to use an update photo for Christmas cards! 

Our family portrait deadline in November 15th! Which means, if you want pictures for Christmas presents or cards, you must have them taken by November 15th!
