As if I wasn’t already nervous enough about capturing these special moments for another local photographer (confession: a photographer’s scariest moment is being hired by another photographer), throw four kids in the mix and all I could think about were head swaps and melt downs. But let me assure you, these kids were a DREAM. If ever there was a perfect Houston family photo session, this one is it.

When the stars align and your family arrives before sunrise, looking like a J Crew ad, you simply make magic. If there’s one thing about Houston, TX summers, well—if there are three things—it’s big hair, mosquitos, and sweat stains. The Grubb Family avoided all that and more in this STUNNING Summer Sunrise Family photo session.

Stop and take a look around. Look past the toys spewed across the floor and the clothes that lay unfolded and the little bits of life that you have yet to put together. None of it matters. Not one, single, bit. You know does? That you've captured the ride along the way.
