Maternity Portraits at Houston’s McGovern Centennial Gardens

Liz and Jose contacted me to schedule their maternity portraits. Liz was looking for something with lots of flowers and suggested McGovern Centennial Gardens in the Museum district of Houston. I have walked past the gardens before and considered going in and checking it out, but I never had the time when I was in the area (funny because the area is all about relaxing and taking the time to smell the roses). I absolutely LOVED shooting maternity portraits there. There were so many nooks and crannies to check out and to photograph in. I will say, it is officially too hot to take photos before 5:00pm. Actually, I would say it’s too hot to shoot before 6:30pm. So many people kept telling me a week after that I looked like I got some sun. It didn’t occur to me until later that the “sun” I had gotten was from this beautiful garden.

It takes a strong Texan to have an August baby and Liz is no different.

Congratulations you two!!!
