We are thrilled to shine the spotlight on a photography business that is bursting with personality, passion, and purpose.
Meet CookieSnaps HTX Photography, a female, Black-owned business based in Houston that is redefining how photography sessions should feel—authentic, colorful, and uniquely you.
Meet the Creative Behind the Lens Michele Gibson, the founder and lead photographer of CookieSnaps HTX, turned her passion into a business. With the encouragement of friends and amazing client experiences, Michele set out to create a photo experience that wasn’t just about posing—it was about capturing chemistry, personality, and the beauty of real moments.
Photography with Heart and Soul CookieSnaps HTX tells your story through genuine and colorful imagery. Michele and her second photographer, Umar, travel all over Texas, photographing weddings, engagements, family portraits, and individual sessions. They take pride in working with people of all backgrounds, body types, and comfort levels, and they love showcasing diversity in all its forms—including pets and playful personalities!
Their signature style? Editing photos to be vibrant yet true-to-life, steering away from overly stylized filters that erase the uniqueness of each moment. Photography designed to let you be you. Their clients consistently praise them for their kindness, attention to detail, and ability to bring a calm and friendly presence to every shoot.
A Mission Rooted in Authenticity At the core of CookieSnaps HTX is creating photography sessions that feel natural and empowering. They want you to laugh, get cozy, and be yourself. Michele and her team guide you through the process, but your chemistry shines through the lens. As personal documentarians, they strive to capture not just beautiful images but the authenticity of your story.
Why They Stand Out What sets CookieSnaps HTX team apart is their dedication to kindness, quality, and your treasured memories. Their calm supportive energy helps clients feel at ease. Their priority to clear communication and accountability helps clients live in the moment without worry. This isn’t just photography but a partnership, a celebration, and a time to capture photos that make your life’s story timeless and unique.
Community Over Competition When working with other vendors, Michele is all in. She believes in the power of community, sharing ideas, and lifting each other. “It’s not easy starting a business from scratch while trying to find your purpose in life,” she says, “and I would love to see everyone succeed.”
If you’re looking for a photography team that values authenticity, celebrates diversity, and brings joy to every session, CookieSnaps HTX is your dream team.
