• WELCOME!

  • Hi! My name is Dianna Montoya and I'm the photographer and owner of Karelle Photography.

    Karelle Photography has been in business since 2007 and I've been photographing for over 12 years. I've earned several Accolades of Excellence from the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International association four years in a row.

    My specialty is capturing weddings in a real life and photojournalistic technique and my exclusive lighting method creates a unique look for the modern day bride that knows her own style.

    Karelle Photography also offers professional portraiture of babies, families, high school seniors and dogs.

    My background is in architecture; my degree is in Environmental Design and I worked as an architect for five years before giving into my passion for photography and starting Karelle Photography.

    When I'm not going "click, clck, click" you may find me hanging out with friends, doing stuff at church or volunteering in the fight against human trafficking. And then if I have some spare time I enjoy music, travel, ballroom dancing, and baking.

    If you love what you see, you too can have beautiful photographs created for you.

    Just click on the Contact button and I'll get right back to you.

    Thanks!

Houston Family Photographer | Young Family

I met up with the Young family in Houston to shoot them both in an urban setting as well as in a field. One thing I learned about this little lady is that the loves, no, not loves….she is obsessed with dogs. At the very sight of a four-legged friend she would go running after him.

As a children’s photographer I know that each age presents its own set of milestones as well as challenges. At 2 years old she is able to walk on her own and engage with both parents and the photographer. Also at age 2 she likes to be independent and run on her own. It’s harder to keep their attention for a long amount of time. So it’s crucial to have her engage in activities that will keep her attention as well as interact with mommy and daddy.

Houston engagement session photography | Aubin and Jeremy

Thanks to everyone that made it out for the Valentines mini-sessions at the studio! It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and catching up on how your kiddos are doing. The March sessions will be announced soon!

Aubin and Jeremy braved a very warm day in Houston in order to have their engagement session done. We walked around a small area in The Heights and enjoyed the evening light. They brought several clothing options so that we could put together 3 great outfits. The engagement session was scheduled in anticipation of their engagement party. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Family Photographer in Houston | Kelley Family 2012

It’s that time of the year again (or rather, it WAS that time of year again), the time of year when the Kelley family has their Christmas photo session done. It’s pretty wonderful getting to not only watch the kids grow, but also see them grow together as siblings that care about each other. Asking the kids to run is always a sucess so there’s a lot of chasing around. And I was so happy when they started playing hide-and-seek – just some fun pictures!

Childrens Photographer in The Woodlands | Anna, 2 years old

It’s been a little while since I’ve had the opportunity to post photos from a session but there’s plenty to come: weddings, newborns, engagement sessions, studio sessions, etc. The blog posts are still backed up just a bit, about 6 months but I’m on a mission to catch up!

I met her as a newborn, then photographed her as a 1 year old. And now she’s 2 years old! She’s a quick and active little one so we worked hard to get the shots in the studio. I love her cute little pierced earrings with her gold studs! It reminds me of me…..my ears were also piereced at a young age.

We left the studio to wrap up with a few outdoor shots with mom. I love watching them together!
