Destination...Destin, Seaside, Sandestin! Awesome things for families to do! {San Antonio Destin Beach Photographer}

We are planning our trip to the Emerald Coast of Florida this summer for the fourth time!
We LOVE this area!!!
We will be photographing families July 30-August 3 in the Seaside area.
Take a look at the portraits of MY family taken two years ago by my friend Bill Ramsey of Canton, Georgia.
I have this collection of images on my wall and I ADORE looking at them each and every day!

We will be photographing Sunrise and Sunset sessions (both of which are stunning).
When we are not photographing, we will be hanging out in this fabulous family vacation spot!

Here are some of our favorite things to do:
1. Crab Island...rent a pontoon boat and sail out to this large sandbar where your kids and swim, paddleboard, dive for hermit crabs and hail down the "ice cream boat"! A fun day!!
2. Seaside...precious little picturesque town! Great for shopping, lunch, bicycling and just enjoying an afternoon stroll by the food trucks or the beach. Check it out here: http://www.seasidefl.com/
3. The Village at Baytown Wharf: Totally toursity but fun for the kids and parents alike. Restaurants, shops, bungee jumping, zip lining and overall fun! http://www.baytownewharf.com/
4. The Old Bay Steamer: Our favorite restaurant in the area. Of course, it is a bit off the beaten path but totally worth it if you want to get away from the tourists and you LOVE CRAB LEGS!!!
5. The Big Kahuna Waterpark: We have never been but it looks like a ton of fun even if it may be a bit overpriced. https://www.bigkahunas.com/
6. Destin Harbor Boardwalk: Something for everyone. This is where you rent the pontoon boats and fishing charters (at the marina) too. Restuarants, shops, trampolines over the water (my boys' personal favorite).
7. The Beach: So many awesome beaches to visit, play in the sand and surf and take a nap in a lounge chair.
8. www.VRBO.com: This is where we always rent our condo. A condo/house is definitely the way to go with a family. Saves money and time so you don't have to eat out all the time!  We have stayed in Sandestin, Santa Rosa Beach, Miramar Beach and Seagrove. All different and fabulous experiences.

We hope you will join us this year!
Call 210-497-3809 to book your portrait consultation.

Come to PARIS with us!! {San Antonio Destination Photographer}

There is nothing more romantic than Paris.
Nothing.
We are SO EXCITED to have the opportunity to travel to Paris this June and photograph families and couples in Paris. Seriously, this is like a DREAM!
However, I am still ONE PORTRAIT SESSION short of this being a done deal!

You know you WANT to go, so let's make it happen!
Paris....June 10-14.
However, we are not limited to Paris the city. If you want to do portraits in Versailles....GREAT! If you have a favorite little spot you LOVE that is fairly close...AWESOME!
I will be traveling to the Loire Valley (wine country) on the 15th for 5 days and would be happy to do portraits in the area, if that is more your style.

What is the first step?
Call me! 210-497-3809
There is no obligation if you just call, right? Let's chat details and we will go from there.
If you would rather email...send me one HERE.

What are the details?
The session fee is $650. This is for a sunrise or sunset session (whole session is about 3 hours depending on the desired locations)
There is a minimum order of $2000. All of that goes towards a portrait, or an album, or whatever your poison.
It is all PAID in ADVANCE of the trip.
You do NOT have to pay my expenses (provided that I have at least TWO sessions while I am in Paris).

What do I guarantee?
A FABULOUS experience! AMAZING portraits at an AMAZING location! Nutella Crepes from a street vendor. Ok, the last one may seem like nothing, but TRUST me...they are AMAZING too, just like the portraits!

So....COME TO PARIS WITH US!!!

J'aime Paris! (I love Paris)
La ville de l'amour (The City of Love)
Portraits dans Paris sont belles (Portraits in Paris are Beautiful)
Venez avec nous à Paris (Come with us to Paris)
Bien? (Ok?)


What can I do for my May Mini Session? {San Antonio Portrait Photographer}

What is a MAY MINI session?
In a nutshell, a May Mini session is a 30 minute session that takes place during the Month of May.

There are a few "rules" to abide by:
*It MUST be on a weekday during our regular business hours in the month of May.
*You can choose ONE "scene" for your session. (Ex: Window room, Pond, Victorian Porch, Old Truck, Black and White Relationship, etc)
*Only ONE outfit
*We can do breakdowns (family AND kids together for example)...whatever we can do in 30 minutes!
*Must be on the grounds of Artistic Images or in the studio....not available at off site locations.
And it is only $99 with no minimum purchase!
And if that is not cool enough, for every print you purchase, you receive a complimentary ePix(digital file for online sharing)! Now THAT is cool!
