BREAKING NEWS: You’re invited to stand in my yard, sweat a little, and smile like it’s not 97°... all for America!

Yep, it’s time for 4th of July Photo Sessions at Marie Burns Photography in Howe, TX!

We’ve got:

A brand new frame house built just for the occasion

Cute Highland Cow décor

And WATERMELON because... tradition. And also because I know how to bribe children.

Suit up your little firecrackers (and yes, you too) in red, white & blue, or your best western gear, and let’s make freedom look fabulous—one frame at a time.

SESSION DATES:

Saturday, June 21

Pricing:

$80 – Kids only

$100 – Family session (parents + kids)

Includes 5 fully edited photos you can download, share, and print anywhere

Every child gets a little American flag to take home and wave around like they’re running for class president

$30 non-refundable retainer due at booking (PayPal). Balance due by session day.

Extended family coming? Just let me know—I'll quote you based on how chaotic it sounds.

If it rains, we’ll reschedule. If it doesn’t, we’ll sweat and smile like true patriots.

Black and White Personality

I’ve been thinking about offering Black & White “Personality” photos for a while, but honestly, I wasn’t sure if it was something I’d enjoy doing—or if it was something you all would even want!

I didn’t fully “get” how powerful Black & White Personality sessions were… until I did one with my own grandsons—and now, those are my absolute favorite photos of them!

Seriously—almost every single shot was a keeper. These sessions come with a LOT of photos!

For best results, the only requirement would be that the child is old enough to answer questions and follow prompts....like 3 years and up! Oh, and DON'T wear shirts with lint!

I'm thinking two packages:

$75 – includes 10 edited images, or upgrade to $100 and receive 20!

Believe me, you will want A LOT of these!

Who's in?

Milk Bath/Fruit Bath

Also this summer, I am bringing back the Milk Baths/Fruit Baths! We can use fruit, flowers, even cereal....whatever you choose! And don't worry, we don't use real milk, just a little corn starch to turn the water white!

Special summer pricing at just $75, and that includes 5 edited photos with option to purchase additional! $25 non-refundable retainer due at booking (PayPal). Balance due by session day.

*Children must be able to sit alone, unsupported.

SUPERSTAR

SUPERSTAR SESSIONS are in full swing at Marie Burns Photography, and they are an absolute blast! hi

Running now through the end of June at my Howe, TX studio!

So far we've had girls channeling:

Taylor Swift

Lady Gaga

Lainey Wilson

Anne Wilson

…and they owned it.

Here’s how it works:

Your girl shows up dressed as her FAVORITE superstar, and then she performs—singing, dancing, striking poses, and living her best popstar life.

I’ll play their music (LOUD if they'd like), because what’s a performance without a crowd (aka me cheering them on behind the camera)?

Perfect for a birthday celebration with friends

Fun, confidence-building experience

One-of-a-kind keepsake photos

Ready to let your girl shine like the star she is?

Sessions at my studio in Howe, TX

For $150, you get 7 stunning edited digital photos to download and print at your favorite photo lab. Lock it in with a $50 non-refundable retainer via Paypal, then $100 is due by session day. Want more? You have the option to purchase additional pics....because they are so hard to resist!

All reservations are made directly thru me, not a booking site where you are having to deal with unanswered questions! We can have a little chat where you can ask me anything and then choose the best day and time to get you scheduled!

Christmas 2024

August 23, 2024:

I have a lot to go over, so I'm back to give updates about what's going on at the studio! There's so much to tell everyone so you can start planning ahead for dates and outfits. Be sure to reserve your space soon so you don't miss out. Fall and Christmas are my most popular sessions and I always book full! **Contact link is located at the bottom of the page**



*All reservations are made thru me*

Now, let me tell you all about Christmas! Where do I start!? My Magical Santa Experience is back again! I will have a few different settings/themes to choose from! Our very own Santa Dale 🎅 will be back for the 12th year in a row, and Santa Jay 🎅🏿 is coming back this year as well...AND this year we will be adding Mrs Claus!!

Most settings will be available to use with Santa, Elf on a Shelf, or for Families, (with no Santa). The kitchen setting will be with Mrs Claus. Read on for details on all of these:

This is the one I want to start with ASAP, the Cranberry Milk Bath in my vintage tub from the 1930's! These can be done in studio, or outdoors. If you want outdoors, we can start booking these now. Best for sitters and must be able to sit alone, unsupported. Let's plan ahead on these because you will want to use this for your Christmas cards! 

We have an all new kitchen setting that will have a Gingerbread theme. This one will have multiple uses:

The main use will be the Magical Mrs. Claus Experience, for the kids, with Mrs. Claus.🤶 A local baker will be baking us fresh gingerbread man cookies that Mrs. Claus and the children will decorate during their session, and the kids can take home after. There will also be a little bit of mischief and some magic! This can be used for families too.

Baking With Grandma will also happen with this setting....this theme will give you and your grandchild some of the best photo memories!

I am bringing back Elf on a Shelf, in an all new setting! These were so much fun last year that we just have to do them again! Let's see what kind of mischief we can create this time around! You will need to provide red pants, red long sleeved shirt, and red socks, for your child. I will provide the hats, collars, and white gloves. This setting will also be used for Snow Baby.

Cowboy Santa is sure to be a big hit this year! The western setting is perfect for Christmas in Texas! This will be used for family pics, or pics of the kids with Santa. We will have hay bale seating, and Santa Dale 🎅 will be dressed in his western shirt, jeans, cowboy hat, and boots! Santa Jay 🎅🏿 will be in his Santa suit and the red cowboy hat! Both Santa's look great!!

This setting will also be used for my Reindeer Baby theme. This is for the little ones. Must be able to sit alone, unsupported. I will transform your child into the cutest little baby reindeer with the magic of Photoshop!

And last, we have a Christmas bedroom setting! The queen size bed is decorated with Christmas themed pillows and blankets. I have a seat beside the bed where Santa will sit and read to the kids from a Christmas storybook. This one is perfect for everyone to wear their Christmas pajamas!! This can be used for just the kids with Santa, or for Families!

**Reservations are all made directly thru me so we can work out the day, the time, the setting, etc... Contact Me button is at the bottom of this page.

All Christmas sessions will take place in October and November, in Howe, TX! And just a heads, up so you can plan ahead, ALL sessions require a $50 nonrefundable retainer via PayPal or Venmo at time of reservation or I can not hold the space, and it will remain open to others. Sessions with Santa Dale, Santa Jay, and Mrs Claus, are for kids only. I do allow the family to jump in for one pic together at the end if you'd like. These settings are also available to use with your family, no Santa.
