Alfonso Ayala, who's been snapping photos for more than a decade and has professional graphic-design experience, loves to capture life's happiest moments, which is why he specializes in wedding and family photography. He also loves the technical aspect of photography and spends his free time experimenting with lights, equipment, and accessories, such as lens toupees, to figure out what steps he needs to take to capture the best image. Artful close-ups, classic portraits, and candid kisses pepper his portfolio, which represents a range of wedding vignettes.

Over his 25-year career in snapshottery, Jimmy Loyd has accumulated an impressive list of skills as freelance photojournalist for the Houston Chronicle, portraitist, and studio owner. An early adapter to the digital-camera revolution, he can capture digital or analog family portraits, professional headshots, and in-the-moment sports images with ease. Loyd also employs his expertise in intermittently scheduled classes and photo tours, which might occur on-location at the Houston Zoo or, for more candid shots, out in the wilderness where animals don't have access to stylists.

Within bustling retail centers, Studio One to One Photography's shutterbugs cultivate an oasis of professional calm as they draw out individual personalities through poses, props, and backgrounds. These elements of style combine artfully to create sophisticated family portraits, gleeful snapshots of childish charm, and eye-catching glamour shots. Whether they immortalize moms-to-be showing off baby bumps or seniors chewing diplomas, print packages fill wallets with creative snapshots or decorate mantelpieces with images more elegant than a gazelle in a top hat.

Photographer Deborah Paulson specializes in posed and candid shots of subjects young and old. While traditional prints are available, her studio also affixes images to canvases, sterling silver pendants, or across the sides of purses. Onsite custom framing ensures that each image can be properly protected from the elements and wayward water balloons.

The event planners of The Perfect Affair find cookie-cutter special events anathema to their mission, which is why they take the time to listen to and work side by side with each client to achieve their vision for a wedding, birthday party, or another special celebration. The team offers four wedding-planning packages that are designed to help ease the minds of brides and grooms at any stage of their wedding planning. The Platinum package, for example, sees planners guiding the happy couple through each step of the process, from the preplanning stages to creating a floor plan and finding vendors to the very last rendition of "Shout" at the reception. Along with remaining completely available to clients at all times, the planners of The Perfect Affair take pride in attending to every detail of the to-do list, including booking venues, keeping track of the budget, and finding a way for "Here Comes the Bride" to be performed by Pink Floyd.

Every time photographer Kimberli Smith snaps a photo, her inner perfectionist comes out and carefully preserves something that would otherwise fade away. Voted favorite portrait photographer for three years in a row by readers of the Baytown Sun, Kim's experience and skill have earned her a membership with both the Professional Photographers of America and Wedding and Portrait Photographers International. She also draws on the knowledge she gained from her psychology degree while working with children, pets, and fussy psychotherapists.
