Turning Moments into Timeless Art

Hi, I’m Monica Blackshire, a Houston-based photographer specializing in family, branding, and legacy portraits, as well as intimate events and small weddings. My mission is to create artful, heirloom-quality portraits that capture your story and preserve your most meaningful moments for generations.

Professional Experience & Recognition

With extensive experience working with families, seniors, entrepreneurs, and creatives, I bring both artistic vision and technical mastery to every session. Along the way, I’ve been honored with achievements that reflect both my expertise and the trust of the community I serve:

• Voted Northwest Houston’s Favorite/Top Family Photographer in the 2025 Macaroni KID Family Favorites Awards (out of 500+ nominations).

• Featured in top publications, including Forbes Magazine, Teaching Theatre Magazine, Shoutout HTX, and Voyage Houston.

• Years of experience creating luxury portraiture and personal branding sessions, including The Confidence Experience, which empowers clients from the inside out.

From professional posing guidance to wardrobe and styling expertise, I make sure every session feels relaxed, enjoyable, and produces portraits you’ll treasure forever.

Why I Do What I Do

For me, photography is about more than capturing a moment—it’s about telling a story. I love helping clients celebrate family milestones, personal achievements, and professional growth through artful imagery. Each session is designed to provide a luxurious, empowering, and memorable experience that results in timeless, heirloom-quality portraits.

A Little About Me

When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring creative projects, and drawing inspiration from Houston’s vibrant culture. I approach each session as a collaboration, blending your vision with my expertise to create portrait art that feels personal, timeless, and transformative.
