Happy Birthday to my amazing son Lathan who is now 16!!! Can you believe it? I can’t either. He has his learner’s permit and I thought this would be a great throwback image from when he was 5 posting at a gas station 😜. His official 16 year Portrait is coming soon-I need to take it first! 😂🥳💘🎉🎊🎁 #birthday #16 #love #son #myheart

Michael and I are excited to be invited to San Antonio to share our knowledge with other photographers today. It’s a privilege for us to support the portrait industry in any capacity. Portraiture has seen so many changes over the years, but some things will always stay the same! We hope to never lose sight of that. 💕

We’ve been so blessed to help countless families create timeless pieces of art of their loved ones over the years. If you haven’t created with us yet (or it’s been awhile), this Valentine’s Day, we’d like to invite you to give the gift of legacy 💕 Imagine your child at age 60, holding a gold-gilded framed painted portrait of their younger self, captured with antiquated craftsmanship, and showing it to their own grandchildren. As their own children have grown to cherish their parent’s portrait, the grandchildren will also see their grandparent with large eyes of wonder and imagination. With this gift, they can imagine their grandparent in their youth as a walking masterpiece in a beautiful time long passed. Can you picture it? Have you looked at your grandparents’ photos with awe before? Imagine the smile your great-grandchildren will have on their faces and do it for them. 🥰 In a world of fleeting gifts, this masterpiece art of your child will be a timeless reminder of the joy of their youth and the love that their parents had for them to invest time and money into such a gift. 💝 Remember that a framed painted portrait of your child isn’t just wood, paint, and canvas. It’s a valuable, timeless masterpiece depicting your child’s childhood essence, which is absolutely priceless!! Let us guide you into giving a priceless gift that will be treasured for lifetimes! Email us to begin your journey at appointments@gomezportraits.com 🥰💕

Lately, there’s been a lot of hateful rhetoric and lies being spread about Haitian people. As someone who has been truly blessed enough to GO to Haiti and experience its people and culture, seeing this hurts me terribly. On February 1, 2016, I wrote the following journal entry. It was my first day in Port-Au-Prince, and I was riding our bus from our hotel to the first school. I would be photographing the children being educated and supported through the @hopeforhaitischildren foundation. It was and still remains the most beautiful and purpose-filled job as a photographer I’ve had in my life. Some of you reading this sponsored Haitian children from my work there, and still support them to this day. It was an incredible blessing and time for all. If you feel so inclined, please relive that day with me. I was most impressed by their DRESS, SELF-RESPECT, and PRIDE despite the destruction of their homes from the earthquake and the bad hand they had been dealt for decades. The Haitian people are immaculate and in my opinion, they put us Americans to shame in our work ethic and presentation. Shame on anyone who would target these beautiful people for their own gain and bring any kind of hate or harm upon them. I stand with the Haitian community in Ohio and anywhere. Feb 1, 2016 “I’m happy. We’re driving through what seems like slum and destruction, but I’m happy. I don’t feel scared or nervous about the Haitian people. Actually, they inspire me greatly. On a typical Monday morning, the roads are busy and bustling with car and foot traffic that mixes but somehow works. You’d have to learn how to drive here-and have quick eyes and instincts. There are kids in perfect uniforms headed to school. The boys are all clean cut with not a shirttail to be seen. Each young man has a pressed or smooth shirt tucked in to perfectly fit slacks and a belt. The older brothers are seen holding hands with their younger siblings, taking them to school. But the entire family looks pristine against a backdrop of graffiti and old worn out presidential candidate posters as well as signage for stores, products, and services. (Continued below)

Michael and I were busy moving in our 3 girls last week to their respective colleges. Rio is a sophomore at Texas State, Francesca is a junior at UT Austin, and Paloma is a freshman at UT San Antonio. Whew! We are happy the girls are all settled in and doing their thing, and we are back to business as usual. Good luck to our girls and to your kids as well who are starting back with the new fall semester 🫶🏽🎉❤️

I’ve been working hard developing new portrait skills and wanted to share my latest work. I’m still practicing on lighting and posing, specifically for paintings, and am looking for models. This image was taken a few years ago. The finished portrait involves digital painting, taken up a notch for me. Never AI. This line of work is inspired by the toddler stage of life, ages 3-4.5, right before they start school. I’m calling it “Pure Beginnings: Before The World Grows Bigger”. I hope you like this one so far! I can’t wait to keep working and creating a collection surrounding this beautiful phase of every child’s life. Finished products are featured on canvas, embellished with oil paints, and sprayed for longevity, making it a timeless work of art. I’m just trying to fulfill my purpose by making the world (and your home) a more beautiful place 🌹💗

Congratulations to Lathan!!! National Champ 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯🥰

I had a great time installing this gorgeous, vibrant, and colorful portrait for Margaret and her family today! She loved the colors and it completed her living room beautifully. I feel like I’m finally starting to hit the stride I’ve been chasing with regard to portrait work for families. I’m really excited to post the before and after of this image coming up soon so you can see what makes it “art”. By the way, I never use AI! Always natural elements that were present that day, at that location, and editing is always done by a human. I thrive on authenticity! If you like real, professional, quality portraits that truly tell your story, look no further! We can help you capture a timeless memory that you will love to see in your home on your walls each and every day. Call or message us for details on how to get started. ☺️ Thank you, Margaret, for trusting me to do this for you! I am happy you love it and the beautiful portraits of the boys! ❤️🥰⚓️ #jgomezportraits #houstonsbestfamilies #portraitart #familyportrait #artinstallation #houstonphotographer #sugarlandphotographer #tomballphotographer #thewoodlandsphotographer #qualitycanvas #qualityprinting

Happy 19th birthday, Rio!! Every year you grow more and more beautiful-outside definitely, but inside too!! I love to see your personal growth blossom. There are many things I love about you, but your kindness, joy, and positive nature is what I enjoy about you the most. You are a real one-never fake, always genuine, caring, and loving. Happy birthday to the first one that made me a mother and to someone whom I love unconditionally. You truly are a blessing to the world. 🌎 🎉🎂😘 @rio_like_da_river05

Update and re-introduction! Hello! I realize it’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself on here (maybe even YEARS??), SO I figured this would be as good a time as any to do that. If you have been here a long time, THANK YOU! If you’re new, WELCOME! My name is Julizza Gomez and I am the photographer and owner of my studio in Tomball. I have been photographing since my daughter, Rio was born in 2005 (she takes ALL the credit for my passion and purpose). She truly was an inspiration to me, and I always wanted her to feel loved by the images I created of her, and that passion just spilled onto her younger brother, Lathan, when he came along in 2009. I am married to my best friend, partner, and fellow professional photographer, Michael Martinez (@michaelmartinezfineportraits). Michael has been a long-standing presence as a portrait photographer in Houston Heights since 1994. Together we offer expertly lit and posed family sessions through my studio (while he and his business partner, Kacey, offer them through his). A little about me: I started out studying to be an computer engineer for about 2 years at The University of Texas at Austin (HOOK ‘EM! 🤘🏽) after having completed my basics at Victoria College. I finished at UT with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and became a high school math teacher, which I truly enjoyed. After a while, I applied and got a promotion as a Math Specialist with the Cy-Fair school district. After a few glorious years, those positions were down-sized, and when faced with the decision to go back to the classroom or pursue a full-time passion in photography by building my own business, I jumped into the Unknown. I have never looked back and wondered if I made the right decision! (Continued below)

“She’s a phenomenal big sister, a dedicated friend that values quality over quantity. God truly broke the mold when he made her and blessed me beyond my comprehension choosing me to be her mom. We are Mom and Daughter but we are also Best Friends - both excited and dreading the day she heads off to college.” ~Jennifer about her daughter, Tristan, Graduate 2024 Here is the winning image for Jennifer’s wall art! This image took our breath away, and stood apart from the rest, so it deserves a place of honor. Jennifer ordered it printed on a metal medium and unframed (which I’ll share once they see it in person) for her home. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate Tristan at this age, and help her appreciate all she has accomplished while setting her sights on her future. LOOK FOR 👀 the Portrait Art logo (as featured on this image) in future posts! This logo indicates that the image featured has been printed as a wall art piece, and therefore is 100% curated by me, the artist. Each Portrait Art piece goes through masterful editing and creativity in order to enhance and tell a story, while keeping the integrity of the subject intact. The creativity in me comes out full force on these pieces and I am over the moon that it will hang in a collector’s home for years to come - all to celebrate the amazing subject featured, and God’s greatest creation. #jgomezportraits #jgomezportraits_seniors #liveinspired #houstonsmostinspiringseniors #lovedeeper #seniorportraits #classof2024 #tomballtx #tomballphotographer #houstonphotographer #houstontx #houstonhomeschoolers #tomballphotographer #houstontx #trinityuniversity #headedtotrinity #cyfairisd #co2024

Happy Easter to you and your family! May the Spirit of the Lord continually reside in your heart and bless you all your days. May you find peace and love when you follow the Lord’s footsteps in your everyday life. May you experience the fullness of Life God promises, even throughout life’s challenges, by living The Way. None of us are perfect, but we are so blessed to have had a perfect lamb sacrificed to save us from the death we all deserve. He is Risen!! He has saved us ! All Glory to God the Father, to Jesus the Lamb, the Name Above all names, and to the Holy Spirit, our Gift, Guide, and Counselor!!! Amen 🙏🏻💞

(Not my photo) It’s not often that you see a photographer advertising ANOTHER photographer’s work and event, but I’m completely convinced that MY HUSBAND is the BEST baby bunny/children’s spring garden portrait photographer in the world! I think so many of you would agree! This time honored tradition has lasted for more than 25 years, in his own garden space at his studio in the Heights, with some of his first clients now bringing in the next generation of babies and children to be photographed with bunnies for spring. Now that his clients have all been alerted and have had plenty of time to secure their spots, I’m passing it to MY clients to enjoy as well! You will love it! I would definitely take advantage of I were you! BOOK TODAY for Spring Portrait Sessions with the bunnies by my amazing husband, Michael Martinez @michaelmartinezfineportraits ! We have 1-2 spots left each day for this coming Friday, Saturday, and (next week) Sunday, March 15-17. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a beautiful tradition for your children! 🐰 Call 713-355-5345 or email kacey@martinezportraits.com to get details.

Lovely portrait of new mom Maddy and her baby girl Piper! Such a cute little name! Soon will be 4 months old, but here she’s only a few weeks old 🥰😍 #jgomezportraits #houstonphotographer #houstonsmostinspiringfamilies

This was one of the most loving and beautiful families we had in the studio recently! Mom and Dad thought the little princess was going to give us trouble, but she was all smiles for my silly, child-loving husband, Mr. Michael! #liveinspired #familyportraits #jgomezportraits #blue #cowboy #texas #tomballphotographer #houstonphotographer #houstonsmostinspiringfamilies

"Head of Her Table - Matriarch In Training" My father advised me while growing up to become an independent woman with my own career. He had possibly learned this from seeing others suffer, and wanted me to do better for myself. He told me not to trap myself. He helped me see things I couldn't see on my own, and I'm glad he prepared me well. He was constantly saying "when I'm dead..." and would end with some kind of life skill or lesson like teaching me how to change my own oil. Throughout my life, my dad was always preparing me for his death so I could deal with life on my own. I didn't realize what a gift this would be, and even with those lessons, I wasn't prepared when he did go. The lessons did empower me to get a good education and become an independent young lady. My bullies growing up created insecurities in me, however, and my father couldn't protect me from them. As I started to teach my daughter about confidence, it caused me to have to work on my Self. It pushed me to read books, study my own history and life events, educate myself, ask myself hard questions, and challenge my beliefs so that I could stretch, grow, and make changes to my thinking. As I grow, I have created an "ideal" for myself based on the principles of my faith and using my past experiences. This image of my daughter depicts how I feel about the matriarch I want to become. She sits at the head of her own table, and wields her home. To me, the Modern Matriarch has the power to set the tone of her own home. If she is kind and loving, the home and children are as well. If she is smart and hard-working, the home and children are as well. As she is, so is her home and her children. To me, the modern matriarch is independent, but can also rely on others. She balances expectations of herself, her children, and her husband well. She wraps her relationships with love, encouragement, and generosity. (Continued below)

One thing I can be completely guilty of is getting only ONE image out of a shoot of my kids and forgetting to go back and process the rest. I don't prioritize it because my client is ME. LOL. But when Christmas comes around, I make a point to try and do this as a gift to myself. I absolutely LOVE these portraits of Lathan! I can hear him laughing in his portraits and it brings me joy. I feel honored to be his mom. These images were taken May 2022. I wanted to wait and capture a formal portrait of him when he turned 15, but at 13, his "baby look" was leaving him - seemingly at the speed of light. I decided to capture him then, before his face changed out of his adolescent stage too much. I'm so glad I did!! He has always had a more "mature" face and features, so even as a child, I knew that meant photographing him heavily in his youth so people would even believe what he looked like as a boy. This shoot eventually led to a portrait painting I did of him. That painting is now in my studio, and we both love it. He would rather the painting be at our home, but I only made one, and I love to share it with my clients. I imagine he will have it in his home one day and his children and grandchildren (Godwilling) will also enjoy it and be proud of their dad/grandad and who he was at 13 years old. Lathan, your smile and expressions create a warmth in me I don't think you'll ever understand until you have a child of your own. You are a light for so many, and you inspire others. Your talent and humor amazes me. I always pray you will accomplish all of your dreams. I'm here for you and so proud of who you are! Love, Mom

There’s no better feeling for a mom than to see your daughter become an incredible human being. She’s bold, confident, kind, secure, and lives loved and accepted by me. She has incredible social skills and sews love into society. She is smart and wise beyond her years. She is seen. I’ve worked hard on my own insecurities so she can reap the wisdom from my past mistakes and do better. I’ve focused on giving her the love and attention I needed growing up. I picked the rich fruits of my upbringing like faith, hope, love, integrity, values, protection, high standards, good character, family, gift wrapped them in my own way, and gave them to her. I added pride in who she is no matter what others might think. It’s been my prayer that she can flourish exactly the way she has. I know there are so many moms out there who want the same for their daughters. We work to give them a better future. They may be princesses now, but one day they will be queens. We had an amazing time photographing Rio at this location! Such a whimsical and magical place. Love you, princess. I’m so proud of you! Go get ‘em. Mom

Happy Labor Day Everybody! 🌱🍂 Let's have a moment to relax, recharge, and capture the essence of this holiday with some stunning photos of The Graves family. Angela Graves: “I met Julizza through Giving Gown, so as soon as it was time to do family portraits I reached out to her. (Great timing for one of her specials.) I have teenagers, who were slightly above disinterested, but Julizza and Michael were very loose with them encouraging them to be natural. When it came time for selection, she had great demo tools to help render how they would look on installation. Julizza and Michael did physically install, with measuring and leveling, to be sure they placed perfectly (and intentionally).” Had a great time doing this photoshoot. Wonderful family and can't wait to capture more moments for them in the future. ❤️⚓

This beautiful family had their first experience with family portraits so they could remember their daughter's 3rd birthday. These milestones are so important to capture, and when you capture them as a family, it makes it even more special! Now their baby girl will have a beautiful treasure for the rest of her life! I can't wait to show this triple Artist Framed Canvas and the single 3rd year portrait once they're installed in the family's home.

"I contacted Julizza for our family portraits. The experience with Julizza and her husband was nothing but professional. They directed us on how to pose properly and would fix our hair or clothing if needed to get the right shot. I would recommend her again. The portraits look what I call "fancy" and high quality. Thank you, Julizza!" Portrait Highlight: Perez Home - Classical Elegance - Check the Link in Our Bio!

“You thought outdoor portraits couldn’t be done this summer? Well, they can! You just need to be in a place near air conditioning in order to cool down between sets and you’re good! Michael’s private portrait garden at his home studio in the Heights offers exactly that, which was perfect for Xiomara and Robinson. They wanted to celebrate their nuptials with portraits outside after their civic wedding last Friday, and our garden offered the perfect setting. Xiomara, Robinson, and her family were only outside a few minutes at a time while Michael and I worked with lighting. It was a great team effort and fun to pull off for such a lovely couple. Congratulations, Xiomara and Robinson! May your marriage be blessed each and every day, and may you enjoy these portraits in your home for years to come! Love, Julizza” Are you ready to book your shoot? Call us at 832-559-0701 to get started! ❤️

Totally loved this fun-loving couple! I had the joy of capturing Mike Cavender and his wife Kami Sisson this afternoon at their beautiful home in Tomball, They are some of the friendliest people i've ever met! You may recognize Mike's last name, he's a co-owner of Cavender's Boots! His father established it in 1965. Raise your hand if you ever owned a pair or want to! 👢👢

Mark's mom finally got some portraits made of him that she can have proudly displayed in her home! Mark is such a handsome and interesting guy-this was so needed. I am honored to be the one chosen to capture him! Whose portrait is missing from your walls? Make sure you capture those missing family members before it's too late! Call me at 832-559-0701 ❤️

Planning family portraits with Michelle today ☺️❤️

I miss the cool weather, but we can still create beautiful outdoor portraits early in the morning or late in the golden hour evening! Stephanie’s family portraits this past fall were so fun to create! Her kids were so charismatic and well behaved, I had to comment to their parents that I noticed and they definitely deserved a reward! 🏆👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Who is the up and coming jokester in your family? Let us meet and capture them before they change. ❤️

Denise took the opportunity during her son's senior graduation session to create some family memories. It was a fun and exciting time for them all, and I know she was proud of "her world". I love getting to do these! Triple metal display of her kids and her mom for her wall ❤️😊 I am looking to create artistic painted portraits of a family or individual in their home or in my cool studio as part of an artist project. Please message me for details!

I’m back! Grateful for vacation and celebrations, but I’m SO ready to get back to work! I’ve missed highlighting the amazing families I’ve had the pleasure of documenting. Here is the Perez family, who wanted something formal in the studio. Iris did an incredible job of coordinating outfits. I absolutely love their colors 💓 20x30” Canvases were created for the nooks in Iris’s living room. She was happy when we came to install. I think her little one likes them too! 😊🥰 I am currently looking for clients who want to photograph in their beautiful home, or in our air conditioned studio 😊❄️ as part of an artist project. Please message me for more info.

Honored to be Julie’s official photographer for her retirement portrait. She was so nervous and full of emotion, but you can’t tell it. She wanted everything perfect because it was the last time she would ever put her uniform on again, after wearing it her entire adult career. Congratulations and thank you for your years of service, Julie! ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

12 years ago today, I came home from my (fairly awesome) job in education to become a full time photographer. I eventually became a studio owner with 3 employees and also a self-confidence advocate. What I have learned in the last 12 years through my journey cannot possibly be quantified. I think the biggest change in me is how I view myself. I now KNOW I CAN totally rely on 👉ME 👈 and 🙏🏻 God’s blessings and wisdom 🙏🏻 to make my dreams come true, and that is a phenomenal win! To be completely in charge of where my life goes and carry a belief that I am capable of sustaining my own business is a gift that not many people have. Is it easy? Absolutely not!! I only know this now because I have lived in the worse case scenarios, the deepest, darkest pits of despair, and have proven to myself that I WILL do whatever it takes to claw my way out. I have seen myself go to God for strength and not give up time and time again. If this was easy, everyone would do it. Was it always obvious I should believe in myself? HECK NO!! There were definite moments of uncertainty (and that still happens often). But is it all worth it? Does learning how to believe in yourself when no one else does pay off? YES! Definitely worth it. I have loved my creative career and all the challenges and freedoms that come along with it. The Universe and the LORD have blessed me abundantly, and for that I am eternally grateful. I only have this ONE life to live and I want it to matter. Can anyone do it? Only those who are willing to grow and learn can. Those are who are humble enough to sit at the table of masters and feast on crumbs can. Those who are willing to situate themselves in places where they are NOT the smartest person in the room can, and can grow from it. Happy 12th full-time, self-employed, risk-taking, cliff-jumping, humble-bearing Anniversary to ME! I hope my story inspires someone out there to just keep learning from your mistakes and keep trying! 💜💯🙏🏻

“I researched many photographers online to pick the perfect one for my daughter’s senior pictures. Julizza’s work speaks for itself. And after we met for the first time, we knew she was the one. We requested a location she was unfamiliar with but she took the challenge and found the best spots to achieve our dream. We also added a family shoot. She captured our love through the lens and gave us a ton of proofs to choose from. The photos are gorgeous and beyond my wildest expectations. The entire process was easy and relaxing and I highly recommend Julizza and her team for any photo needs you may have.” I absolutely Loved 🥰 working with the Hiestand family and I appreciate this review! It makes a world of difference to know I’m helping families achieve their dreams while creating portraits beyond their wildest expectations. Are you ready for a fantastic family portrait experience? Let us help you capture your family portrait before everything changes. ❤️
