Every combination
Your gallery covers the whole family, siblings, parents, and candid moments, ready for prints and cards.
Seasons and timing in Cleveland
- The piney woods work year-round, with modest fall color from late November.
- Bluebonnets line the FM roads in March and April.
- Hunting season in the National Forest runs roughly November through January, so we check dates before booking a winter woods session.
Permits and park rules
- In Sam Houston National Forest, small paid portrait sessions (five or fewer people, hand-carried gear, no exclusive use of a site) do not need a permit; larger crews or setups need a Special Use Permit.
- City of Cleveland parks publish no photography policy, so we call before booking.
- Huntsville State Park requires a commercial photography permit from Texas Parks & Wildlife, filed at least 90 days ahead, so we only book it with the permit in hand.
Travel
We travel throughout Montgomery County and Greater Houston from our Pinehurst studio.
