Hey there! I'm a professional Portrait & Wedding photographer located in College Station, Texas that specializes in Aggie Senior/Grad Portraits and Wedding Photography. I'm sharing a list of the exact gear I own and use at every session and wedding that I photograph. I've been a photographer since 2013 and have learned so much in the last decade. If you'd like to see the beautiful image I create from using the following recommended gear, please visit my photography business website at laurylharvey.com . I hope my recommendations help you create beautiful art too!

If you struggle with finding outfits for the whole family when it comes to time to take family pictures, this list is for you!! I have ideas for every season! Key tips to take away from this list to better help you and serve your family photographer are: 1.) Don't wear bright or neon colors. 2.) Don't wear clothing with text, large logos, brands or busy prints because it can be distracting. 3.) Don't be too matchy-matchy with more than one identical outfit. Everyone's attire should flow together and coordinate but not match identically. Places to shop/look for your family outfits first include: GAP, Old Navy, H&M, Carter's, Target, and Walmart.

I'm sharing a list of the most played with toys in our play area and playroom that my 3 year old daughter and 1.5 year old son love!! I really value high quality items that are built/made to last but at the same time can be aesthetically pleasing when styled inside your home. You may notice a trend of real wood toys and toys that may be priced on the higher end but so worth the investment!!

Thinking of gifts is hard enough and I'm here to make is easier on you!

As a seasoned mom of four, including three little ones under the age of four, I've learned a thing or two about what expecting mamas truly need in their hospital bags. Check out my list of recommendations for must-have items to make your birthing expierence an hospital-stay smoother.

What makes these ideas creative is because we're following the catchy wedding sayings that go back generations - Something Blue, Something New, Something Old and Something Borrowed. I recently put these ideas together for a coed wedding shower I'm hosting for my sister and brother in law, and they were a huge hit!! I hope this list provides wonderful ideas for you to use too!

My husband and I are Bryan/College Station natives and would consider these restaurants our top go-tos for delicious gourmet food and romantic date nights!!

I've been using e.l.f., morphe and colourpop products as my everyday makeup selections for about 6 months now and I wanted to recommend them to others, as an affordable option.

Morphe products are from Ulta. Colourpop products are from Target or Ulta.
