Brenham, TX Family Photos | Golden Hour in the Country

Denese and Russell’s family session in Brenham, TX, was extra special as it marked the start of their next chapter. They gathered with their three grown children, their spouses, and six grandchildren on their beautiful new land, where they plan to build their dream homestead for retirement.
I had a great time capturing the entire group, as well as each individual family unit, all surrounded by the peaceful countryside. Even their fur baby, Reagan, joined in on many of the photos! One of Denese’s special requests was a photo of the family on their tractor, with the cows peeking out in the background—and it all came together beautifully during the golden hour. I’m honored to have captured these memories and can’t wait to see the home they create here!
Maddie and Grace, the two oldest grandchildren, are part of the Class of 2025. I had the privilege of photographing them over the summer, and their portraits turned out absolutely stunning. You can check out some of their gorgeous photos here.
You’ll also notice in the last photo (compliments of Lauren) that I brought my whole crew along for this session. We made a family stop at Blue Bell for ice cream before meeting the Terry family on their land, and of course, we couldn’t pass up a pit stop at Buc-ee’s on the way home! The kids had a blast running free on their beautiful property. It was a fun-filled day for everyone!
