Mary Jo [San Antonio Newborn Portraits]

breanna — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 20:31:49 +0000

I was so excited to get a text last week from my good friend (and former bride), Laura, saying that their sweet new bundle of joy had arrived! Today, I had the privilege of meeting Laura and Gabe’s precious little girl. She’s sooooo sweet. Here are a couple of my favorite shots from this morning’s session.

Felicia and Adrian [Mini-Session]

I was so happy to work (and hang out with) Felicia and Adrian again! And I just can’t believe their little guy is getting so big so quick. Tell me… is he not the CUTEST thing you have EVER seen? Truly adorable. So much fun. Here are a couple of my favorites…

2011 Holiday Portrait Sessions

breanna — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 17:48:27 +0000

Well, I’m a little late in getting this going, but it is FINALLY time to announce this year’s holiday portrait specials! This year, we are not only offering our ever-popular Mini-Sessions, but I’ve got another great deal for you as well for those of you who may be wanting something more than a Mini-Session.

First, our Mini-Sessions will be taking place on Saturday, November 19th in Helotes. $75 gets you a 15-20 minute session (please be on time!) as well as one of our adorable brag books with all of your images in it. In the event of rain or extreme cold (the likelihood of either of those seem highly unlikely given the weather this year), I will contact you and the sessions will be rescheduled for December 3rd.

We are also offering the option for a 30-45 minute full session for $75 (down from $150)! This allows you to choose a location that best suits you and gives us a little more time to create amazing and creative images for you and your family. These sessions are available Tuesday-Friday from now until December 9th mornings only, any time between 8:00 and 11:00 (when there’s great light).

Book now to ensure that you and your family get a spot for this year’s portrait session!

And finally, I wanted to thank everyone on Twitter and Facebook for your wonderful location ideas! You’re the best! Now it’s time for me to announce the winner of a free holiday session (Mini or Full)… *drumroll* Adrian & Felicia A.! (Are you sad you didn’t win?

Adam + Mollie [Engagement Portraits]

breanna — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 18:22:49 +0000

I love Saturday mornings. Saturdays just feel different than any other day of the week. They feel happy, relaxed, bright, comfortable, and free. Adam and Mollie’s engagement session just felt like Saturday. Does that even make sense? We spent the morning, walking and talking, the two of them hand in hand. There was no hurrying, no major agenda… just enjoying life (and documenting it with my camera, of course). I’ve said it before (and I’ll say it many times again), I love my job. It’s worth getting up on Saturdays for days like that. Capturing moments, seeing such love… it can’t be beat.

Here are some previews from Adam and Mollie’s engagement session. Enjoy!

Ethan [San Antonio Newborn Portraits]

breanna — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 13:58:35 +0000

I had the awesome privilege of meeting baby Ethan just a few days after he was born. He’s so precious! I went over to Josh and Kelly’s house to hang out for a while and take some photos. This baby is angelic. Quiet and sweet and oh-so-snuggly!

Congrats to our wonderful friends!

Josh + Kelly [Maternity Portraits]

breanna — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 14:57:52 +0000

Josh and Kelly have been friends of ours for years now. Josh ended up in San Antonio the same way I did — came here as an intern at our church, and then never left! We were so happy when he married Kelly and brought her down here too! We’re so excited for them as they begin this new phase in life. They’re going to be great parents!

By now, baby Ethan has already arrived, and I’ll have pictures soon. Just thought I’d post a couple photos from their maternity session as well.

Have a great weekend!

Erika + Wade [San Antonio Engagement Portraits]

breanna — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 20:15:49 +0000

Erika and Wade are an amazing couple. In the two hours we spent together this morning, I could tell that they are best friends, that they’re super fun, and that Wade just adores her. They met in college almost seven years ago through a friend, and they’ve been crazy in love ever since. And it shows.

You guys, I had a great time hanging out and taking portraits this morning, and I’m so excited for your wedding! Here are a few previews from this morning’s session…

Derek + Amber [Helotes Engagement Portraits]

breanna — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 00:01:52 +0000

Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend! I know I am. I started off the morning in Helotes with our good friends Derek and Amber (who will be getting married next month!!) so we could shoot their engagement portraits. We had a great time (they’re such a fun couple), and as we were finishing up, Helotes Marketplace was getting going so Aaron and the kids met us there to walk around, check out the vendors and the BBQ competition, and then when we were sufficiently drenched with sweat (why do we live in Texas again?!), we all parted ways and I spent the rest of the day with the fam driving through the Hill Country, listening to good music, and enjoying life. I am so thankful for days like today.

And of course, I can’t leave you without a few pics from Derek and Amber’s session!

Guest Books [PHS Must Haves]

breanna — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 18:40:49 +0000

One of our most popular wedding items is the custom photo guest book. What a great keepsake! This 8×8 book includes photos from your engagement session and has lots of room for your guests to write well wishes or advice. It’s far more personal than the old stuffy kind that only has lines for signatures, and you’re sure to pull it out time and time again throughout the years. This updated design is modern and fresh and can be customized with your wedding colors!

makes me want another baby! Isn’t she precious?! I’ll try and post more pics later of this beautiful baby, just wanted to share. These sleeping baby pics get me every time. Congrats to Courtney and Ryan on the arrival of their sweet baby girl!
