the Studio & Garden

A Home Away from Home

Our studio is actually in the heart of a residential area and the warm, domestic setting enables our clients to feel at home during their sessions. Conveniently located inside of the 610 Loop, we are easily accessible, yet our location is quiet and serene. 

 
 

Evergreen & Classic

Our garden exudes southern appeal and year-round beauty. This natural, lush backdrop makes our portraits heart-warming and a great reflection of the verdant beauty of our Texas home. Families are delighted to see the results of their sessions in this gem of a location.

Meet Michael

Michael established his boutique studio in 1994 to offer families and professionals high-quality, timeless portraits. He is one of the few artists that carry on the legacy of great portraiture through the use of corrective and traditional posing, which creates images that stand the test of time.

Michael’s calm and patient demeanor puts his clients at ease, and his craft in retouching and enhancing images by hand sets him apart as an artist.

Michael is a bilingual native Houstonian, member of St. Anne Catholic Church and is actively involved in many fundraising, charitable and community organizations. He has two teenage daughters that attend St. John XXIII College Preparatory and The University of Texas at Austin.

“Michael is an amazingly talented portrait artist. He always captures our family’s personality, giving us a life long treasure. We highly recommend Michael to create a keepsake for your family!”
— Jennifer and Joel Moore
“Michael Martinez has been my family photographer since 2008! He has created lifelong heirlooms by capturing my daughter’s precious face and fiery spirit for all seven of her birthdays. To celebrate my mother’s 75th year, Michael recommended a family portrait session with the grandparents, daughters, granddaughters and son-in-law. He beautifully captured the personalities and relationships of each family member. I love working with Michael and Kacey because of their attention to detail and personalized service.”
