Hazel West Photography

Hello, and welcome to our blog! We, Gisele and Kristin, are Texas wedding and portrait photographers based in Houston. After our initial meeting all the way back in kindergarten, we have been inseparable since. We discovered photography together in high school yearbook, and we continued to pursue it throughout college and after, eventually realizing that our onetime hobby had blossomed into a career. We consider it a privilege to capture the moments, events, loved ones, and memories in people’s lives, as we know that the photographs we give you will tell invaluable stories to your family for years to come. From weddings, to babies, to family portraits, and pets, we love what we do - and you can see that in our work!

      We are members of Professional Photographers of America, which you can find at www.ppa.com.  We use the highest quality professional equipment, and our style is modern, simple, beautiful, and timeless. The secret to our work is our own practiced blend of photojournalism, art, and a way with people. Contact us today at info@hazelwestphotography.com, and thanks for checking out our site!

Rosa and EJ’s Session

The last months before the arrival of a new baby represent a unique, wondrous, and busy part of life. Rosa and EJ scheduled this session to document this time in their lives, with the arrival of their first little one just a couple of months away. They were truly a delight to photograph, and Rosa is a glowing and beautiful mother-to-be. How enjoyable to record these memories for such a lovely couple – and what angelic photographs. Enjoy!

Shoes? Why thank you.

It’s no secret that we love photographing you guys. We love watching your weddings unfold from the sidelines, suggesting crazy fun poses for your engagement sessions, pretending we’re on a Vogue shoot for your bridal, and doing absolutely whatever is necessary to make your babies giggle. It’s true: we love it. We also share you with another great love, though, and that’s shoes. You might have noticed that we nonchalantly sneak in a bunch of shoe shots at your sessions. For example, Gisele may distract with you with one of her hilarious jokes or Ron Burgundy impressions, and yep – the whole time I was taking a picture of your shoes! In all truth, we would love to sneak away with some shoes, a nice window, some jewelry, and snap away for a few hours. Here’s a recent favorite.

Christine, David, & Grizzly

We spent a lovely evening with Christine & David, who made our job so easy. Their ferocious puppy dog Grizzly made our shoot that much more fun, and he may have the cutest puppy hairstyle I’ve ever seen. We can’t wait to post the rest of our pictures from this set because they’re all just beautiful. Thanks again, guys!
