The BEST Locations for SUMMER Portraits!

You only have 18 Summers with your children before everything changes. 

Don't let another summer pass without documenting your family's journey through a perfectly crafted portrait. Allow me to help you design and create a stunning portrait that will stand the test of time.

When I think about Summer, I think about that scorching Texas heat and what better location to photograph than being near the water.

These 3 locations look amazing during the summer months and provide the ideal backdrop for a casual and genuine family portrait:

The Lake   |    The River    |    The Beach

 I tend to photograph these locations either at sunrise or sunset when the sun isn't blazing onto you and the temperatures are a little cooler. During your complimentary design consultation, we will discuss what works best for your family and discuss all of the details of your family's unique personality.

Top Reasons to Have Your Portraits Made in the Summer:

1. Capture the Joy of Free Time: When the school bells stop ringing, and the children are finally free from their busy schedules, summer becomes a treasure trove of precious moments. Embrace the carefree spirit of the season and let Artistic Images capture the authentic joy and laughter that comes with unstructured summer days.

2. Preserve the Memories of Family Adventures: Summer is synonymous with family vacations and adventures. Whether you're building sandcastles on the beach or exploring breathtaking destinations, these shared experiences create lasting memories. Let Artistic Images freeze those magical moments into stunning portraits that will transport you back to those cherished family adventures for years to come.

3. Relaxed and Radiant: Summer brings a natural radiance that enhances your family's portraits. The warm sun-kissed glow, vibrant colors, and relaxed vibes create an ideal backdrop for capturing the essence of your loved ones. Our skilled photographer, Elizabeth, knows how to harness the magic of summer to create portraits that reflect the authentic beauty and connection within your family.

4. Embrace the Outdoors: Summer opens the door to endless possibilities for outdoor portrait sessions. From blooming gardens to golden sunsets, nature becomes a breathtaking canvas that enhances the beauty of your portraits. Let Artistic Images guide you on an outdoor adventure, where your family can be immersed in nature's splendor while Elizabeth skillfully captures the love and togetherness you share.

5. Timeless Keepsakes: Summer portraits become cherished keepsakes, reminding you of the precious moments spent together as a family. Whether displayed proudly on your walls or tucked away in an heirloom album, these portraits will serve as a constant reminder of the love, laughter, and adventures you shared during those glorious summer days.

6. Limited Summer Openings: Summer, with it's sun-kissed adventures and carefree vibes has a way of  disappearing in the blink of an eye. As the days grow shorter, don't let the opportunity to capture these fleeting moments go by. Book your design consultation today by calling/texting 210-497-3809 or emailing me HERE.

Fall Family Portraits at the Guadalupe River {San Antonio Family Photographer}

 Fall in Texas is sometimes only a minute long. Am I right?

Although we rarely get bright orange and yellow leaves like other areas of the country, the most likely of places is either Lost Maples State Park or Guadalupe River State Park. I love going to Lost Maples, but it is a good 1.5 hours away from San Antonio and a pretty good hike to some really cool spots. If you are interested in a session there, please email me.

Much closer to SA, is the Guadalupe River State Park and is one of my favorite locations to photograph. So many beautiful and natural backgrounds to choose from. If you are interested in joining us for our FALL FAMILY DAY on the week of Thanksgiving, we will be there on Tuesday, November 24th. Currently I have morning and early afternoon times available.

Call to Book 210-497-3809

Here are some samples of some past images created in the month of November at Guadalupe River State Park:

Home For The Holidays {San Antonio Family Photographer}

 The Holidays are just around the corner and that means "FAMILY-TIME"

If your family is going to be together this year over Thanksgiving or Christmas, consider taking an hour out of your time together to create a new Family Portrait. This year has been weird, let's face it. For some it's been a time of stress and for others a time to slow down and reconnect. Whatever 2020 has been for you, let's remember it as The Year of The Family and create something really special for your home.

Our Home for the Holidays Portrait Event always sells out because of many reasons:

1. Your family is all together around the Holidays and it may have been while since that has happened.

2. It is at a stunning location! The Mission San Jose is beautiful and would usually add a $100 permit fee for use for portraits. However, I will pay that permit fee since I will be there all day with multiple families.

3. You will SAVE money! A mission session fee is usually $350 (not including the permit fee) and this session is ON SALE for only $200. There is a minimum order of $400, but it all applies towards your order.

4. We live in Texas. Texas is hot. November and December are generally very mild and often the perfect temperature for creating non-sweaty family portraits.

5. These portraits make GORGEOUS Wall Decor and fabulous Christmas Cards too!

Our Home for the Holidays Events this year are November 25th and December 23rd

Family Portraits at Cibolo Nature Center {San Antonio Photographer}

 Fall is just around the corner!

Thank goodness....I thought I might melt from the unrelenting heat of San Antonio Summers. 

Fall for me means Family Portraits and I literally CAN NOT WAIT to see you guys this year!

Covid has left our studio a little lonely in 2020. We miss seeing our clients that we think of as friends. Many of you have halted your plans to have portraits and I am here to say, let's get back to LIFE! With the hope of some sense of normalcy, we plan to be busy capturing memories in the form of portraits for many of you. And we have already begun booking sessions!

Last year, we visited a "new-to-me" location...Cibolo Nature Center. We discovered some beautiful spots that are totally portrait worthy, so we are heading back there again this Fall. 

As usual, you can always book a session anytime, any day and any location with your family. But once or twice a year I have these Family Portrait Events where I do back to back sessions at the same location (and I even give you a break on the price). This blog post is devoted to our Fall Family Day.

This event is happening on a SUNDAY!! My normal Sunday sessions are $550 and that just pays for the session! Fall Family Day is on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18th and the session fee is only $200! I know....crazy good deal happening!

I will book 6 sessions. SIX SESSIONS only. 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.

Bookings are NOW OPEN....210-497-3809 or EMAIL ME.

Check out some of the gorgeous spots that we will be able to use:
