When you look through these 12 amazing portfolios, you will quickly understand why these creatives are the cream of the crop. Though family photoshoots may have changed over the decades, one thing that has stayed the same is how fondly you and your kids will look back on this adventure one day.

1. Mayra Razo

Mayra is something of a do-it-all photographer with a thriving trade in infant photography, portraiture, and family photography. Her infant photography is inspiring and often imitated. In fact, she is sought out by families all over El Paso for her gorgeous, modern family photography work. Her portfolio comprises images that are both traditional and quite elegant. And yet all are always perfectly lit, with gorgeous uses of natural light and color. She never does less than the very best, which is why her reputation here in El Paso is spotless.

We also love how Mayra describes her photography mission. “Capturing the magic of wonderment and discovery in children is what makes a real moment a worthy portrait. I love natural moments that can be captured and enjoyed for years to come. I will use my expertise, creativity and love for art to create magnificent portraits for your home.”

2. Lydia Orozco of L&R Photography

Lydia of L&R Photography offers a full range of photographic services — family photos, portraits, newborns, etc. — both in-studio and on location. Her work really shines in natural light, especially at golden hour. We know that all photographers are “chasers of light,” but Lydia is especially skilled at finding that exact moment when everyone is bathed in light — radiating a healthy glow — to capture that perfect picture. We love her style, her subtle sense of humor, and the sweetness that exudes from just about every photo in her portfolio.

3. Delilah Alva

Delilah is one of the premier maternity and family photographers in the area. Her photos brim with love, childish joy, and an attention to the little things that make family life so special. She composes with some of the purest color palettes we’ve come across — with attractive pinks, blues, and snowy whites. These images have a real intelligence behind them, clearly indicating the family values that she herself must have. It did our hearts good to look through all her pictures of smiling babies, laughing families, and fathers and mothers with their eyes filled with love.

4. Kristine Garcia

Kristine takes natural-light lifestyle and documentary family photos. She clearly takes joy in capturing the candid moments that we see every day as part of our family life, but that rarely gets captured by professional photographers. Among El Paso family photographers, she is known for her kind and caring approach. Her modus operandi is to take care of the families she photographs as though they are members of her own extended family. You won’t find a kinder, more talented photographer no matter where you look.

5. Chrisinda Vargas-Treadwell

Chrisinda has a passion for photography and strives to turn every family she photographs into a work of art. She’s well-known in the area, not just for her family photography, but for her wedding photography and portraits as well. Chrisinda has owned her photography business since 2006, and in 2015, became El Paso’s very first Certified Professional Photographer. In other words, she knows her stuff, from an educational and experiential standpoint.

She shoots both in-studio and on location, capturing the personalities of the individuals that make up your family, as well as that special something that happens when you and your family all get together.

6. Amanda O’Neill

Amanda takes bright, light-filled photographs of couples, families, and individuals. Her photos are traditional yet stylish, perfect for sharing on Instagram or for hanging over your mantel. We love her laughter-filled narrative photos, which show El Paso families at their best, leaning into each other’s comforting love. If your family works with Amanda, you’re guaranteed to get shot after shot of you and your family exactly the way you’ll want to remember yourselves — and, perhaps more importantly, the way you want to be remembered.

We also adore how Amanda describes her passion for shooting family photographs. “Anyone can pick up a camera. But I truly believe the best photos come when the person behind the lens is working to let your soul shine through in your photos — I want to give you pictures that will bring you back to the time in your life when they were taken.” Sounds wonderful to us.

7. Jeanette Fryer

Jeanette Fryer is a skilled composer of memories. Her photographs are natural and joy-filled — capturing something hard to explain about the passing of youth, as well as the joys and sweet pains of parenthood. Her in-studio work especially shines, hearkening back to earlier and more traditional days of family photographs, while capturing all the attention to color, careful contrast, and balance that are the hallmark of contemporary photos.

If you want photos like the ones your parents once took with you and your siblings — but with a modern twist — Jeanette’s among the best El Paso family photographers that we’ve come across.

8. Sonia Boukaia

Sonia is a renowned and extremely well-respected newborn photographer, in addition to an excellent portrait and family photographer. In her newborn work, she’s honed her composition skills to the level of a master — putting color, light, and shadow to work to create pure, angelic photographs that are so lovingly composed it’s hard to stop scrolling through her Instagram feed.

She’s a patient, humble, and hugely skilled photographer, able to wait for and work for the perfect shot without ever diminishing the fun she’s able to create with her photoshoots. You and your kids will love working with her.

9. Lightfall Photography

For the last decade, Liz Houser of Lightfall Photography has made it her personal mission to celebrate special moments in her clients’ lives. When you look through her portfolio, you will see plenty of smiling faces of adoring families. You will also notice how utterly vibrant her photos are, which is a nice change from the typical subdued style many photographers prefer. She also customizes family photography packages to meet your needs.

In her own words: “I want to hear your story. Not only hear it – I want to experience it, capture it, tell it. I am passionate about helping you preserve your legacy through fine art in a way that only a high-end, custom photographer can.”

10. Adrianne Riley

Adrianne Riley is a family, corporate, and wedding photographer in El Paso who prizes sentiment. Not only that, her photos are some of the more action-packed we’ve seen! Toddlers running towards cameras, couples frolicking in fields, it all adds up to captivating imagery. She also works with families for every stage of their life, from the initial weddings of the parents to full-family photoshoots, kids and all.

11. Grace Ashley Images

Grace Ashley of Grace Ashley Images specializes in newborn and maternity photoshoots. We especially adore her newborn cake smashes, where your little one gets the chance to throw around bits of cake to celebrate their first birthday. It’s adorable, and Grace has all the best props and sets to make the photos even more special to you as your child grows up.

She describes her process thusly: “With personal and interactive portrait sessions, I strive to tell stories with your images. Stories that you will tell each time you look back at precious moments that became memories all too quickly. Capturing birth stories discreetly and unobtrusively. The opportunity to appreciate little details you may not have noticed at the time.”

12. Jessica Almada Photography

Jessica Dixon of Jessica Alamada Photography is a force of nature behind the camera, particularly in the wedding and family photoshoot genres. She shoots some of the richest and most vivacious portraits we’ve ever seen. Browse through her portfolio and tell us you don’t feel like you’re there with her subjects. It’s not surprising that her images have graced publications like The City Magazine and Belle The Magazine, to name but a couple.

When you read her goal for your session, you may want to book her instantly! “My expertise is in providing you with breathtaking images, in a story-like fashion, so that you can relive the day. No trending filters slapped on, no crazy gimmicks; just timeless photos.”

Bonus: Tina Dwyer Photography

Tina Dwyer is not only one of the best El Paso family photographers, but she is also adept with career headshots and corporate branding. She has an incredible fine-art touch to all her images, too, which definitely helps her work stand out from the crowd. Tina also displays clear intention and a sense of humor in her images, with her subjects often engaging in an activity they love. This is something any busy family can appreciate! Call on her to tailor something creative for you and your brood, especially if you want portraits of your children doing what they love.
