Anniversary portraits are some of our favorites! I love seeing a couple who has been in love for several decades…and getting a little glimpse of how love grows stronger with time.

Every year, in June, Debbie and Steve have a new portrait made. She has a book of all the ones from previous years. What a wonderful way to celebrate your anniversary! And what a fabulous book of memories year after year!

One of our local wedding blogs did a nice little write up on bridal portraits as part of the wedding planning process.

“Bridal portraits are an opportunity to capture a bride at her best without the pressure guests waiting on a wedding reception.”

This is a fabulous way to visually articulate the style and look you want for your portrait session and couples perfectly with our request for images that is part of our Wedding Worksheet we use for all our clients.

One of our favorite picturesque locations in all of Austin is St. Edward’s University.[1] The grounds are immaculate and the staff is as friendly as can be. All they ask for portraits is a call ahead to make sure they don’t have a major event. So, that is where we met the Norman family.

“It has to be said”[2] they followed our “rules” as closely as possible. Everyone arrived in either jeans or khaki pants wearing a pastel colored long sleeve top. Given the weather in central Texas in the late Spring, this was no easy feat. However, everyone—regardless of age—was a trooper. And, aren’t they more attractive for it?

[1] We learned of the beautiful campus from our volunteer efforts with Knowbility.org and their Access U program held annually at St. Ed’s.
[2] “It has to be said,” is a catch phrase of the Fantoo Girls, of which we are dear fans.

For their wedding anniversary, the Butler’s wanted updated family portraits with both their kids and both sets of their parents.

We met at one of our favorite portrait locations: Mayfield Park. While the peacocks can get loud at times, they are beautiful and you run about a 50% chance of getting to see one fan his feathers.
