Houston Family Photographer

Because real life is worth remembering.

If you’ve been putting off family photos because they feel stressful, staged, or too perfect to feel like you, I get it. I’m Rendi, a family photographer based in Houston, TX, and I create photo experiences that are easy, emotional, and full of heart. My sessions are designed for the mom who wants something more honest than stiff poses, more meaningful than just smiling at the camera.

Whether your kids are wild, shy, or somewhere in between, we’ll create a space where everyone feels safe to be themselves. These photos won’t just show what your family looks like. They’ll remind you how it feels to love and be loved right now.

Why Families Choose Rendi

  • Gentle, guided direction so you never feel awkward or unsure

  • Emphasis on emotion and connection over perfection

  • Natural light sessions that feel like play, not pressure

  • A gallery full of images you’ll treasure for decades

What to Expect From Your Family Session

Every session includes:

  • A pre-session guide to help you plan outfits and prep with ease

  • A relaxed session in a Houston-area location that suits your vibe (outdoors, at home, or wherever your family shines)

  • Candid and lightly posed images that capture the full story—snuggles, silliness, chaos and calm

I know your time and energy are limited. That’s why I make the process as smooth and simple as possible from inquiry to final gallery.

I cried the moment I opened our gallery. Rendi captured the little in-between moments I didn’t even realize I’d want to hold onto forever. The whole experience felt calm and effortless, even with our wild toddler running around. I’ve never felt more seen in a photo and I’ll treasure these for the rest of my life.
