Kariss + Joshua | Maternity Session in Houston, TX

December 17, 2015


We are perfectionists when it comes to photography. We can’t help it! When I was thinking about my maternity photos I knew exactly what I wanted. But, I really wanted it to be shot by us! So, we were in a catch-22. Then we decided we would take a leap of faith (in ourselves) and commit to executing the whole shoot on our own. 

Boy, was it worth it! Not only was it a hilarious experience but it was a memory we made and will always have. Tripods, sensors, self-timers, and lots of patience got us through the special day. We couldn’t think of a better way to end our blog for the year than sharing our own session with you! We hope you enjoy and check back for a pregnancy announcement around Christmas! (December 26th due date) .

*Hey yall! This is Joshua typing now, Kariss doesn’t know I came in and am making my voice heard on this beautiful blog post she spent so much time creating but I just wanted everyone to know she is a beast! Not only is she the best wife, photographer, designer, all around creative guru but she has been an awesome mother to our little princess and has been a pro at creating LIFE!! I’m still astonished at her will, and passion to create things of beauty and quality. This shoot is just a small representation of just that and what I get to experience day in and day out! So yall please help me out and leave some encouragement and let my gorgeous wife know how wonderful she is and how beautiful the shoot turned out! Were on our last stretch of our first pregnancy and our baby will be here in no time. Thank you all for your continued support, prayers, and encouragement! I LOVE YOU BABY, WE GOT THIS! – Joshua Farris*

    I went to Baylor and I remember a friend showed me your engagement video. I was in awe that the Fear and Love of the Lord was captured in that video. The reverence to put God first and to love each other second was beautiful. I have been a fan of you two since. Thank you for being an example of Kingdom Marriage, that sounds like it comes with pressure but when we walk in intimacy with The Father it’s just oozes out of us (so no pressure!). I love your photography. I am a critic when it comes to photography and I recently moved to a small town in Northern California and within my 60 mile radius have not found anyone who does photography like you guys. Anyways, you guys are lovely and beautiful. I continuously declare blessings over your family and marriage. Blessings to your daughter; you guys walk in your royal calling and I know that you will raise her up to know who’s she is. Also, know that there is a team of people seeing your story cheering you on. You guys are a beautiful example. Blessings of abudance, prosperity, health and love. Happy Holidays!

“We were so pleased with the work done by the Pharris team. They were generous and patient and we could not be more grateful. On that day, Josh and Kariss were very professional, funny, and just amazing ”

"I cannot say enough good things about this team! They were able to capture the emotion in the event in a way that was truly powerful. They were friendly, incredibly responsive, and talented. We are SO happy with the way our pictures turned out, and their unreal two week turn around time!"

"Our experience with Pharris Photography has been so wonderful! The communication from the team has been clear, timely and professional (but still so personable!). Kariss was SO FUN to work with. We could not me more over the moon with the final photos."

"Where do I even start?! The second we met Kariss and Joshua we knew they had to do our wedding and we had to somehow convince them to be our friends.. yes, they are equally as awesome people as they are photographers! These two are truly SO very talented!"

What a phenomenal team Kariss and Joshua are! I'm not sure where to begin! They had such amazing ideas for poses in our pictures and they truly turned out amazing! They captured the true essence of "us" and the images are timeless, elegant, beautiful, and sexy!
