Britany + Justin [Gruene Engagement Portraits]

breanna — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:55:31 +0000

I met Britany and Justin for the first time when I was shooting her sister’s bridal portraits. They came along for the session, and even then (three years ago), I could tell that these two were head over heels for each other. You don’t have to spend much time around them to see that they’re best friends, that they have fun, and that they’re great people. We met up in Gruene last weekend for their engagement portraits in Gruene. Here’s a little sneak peek for you!

Kristina + Jonathan [San Antonio Engagement Portraits]

Sorry I’ve been sort of absent from the blog as of late. Between the start of wedding season, a family vacation to Florida, and working my way through 2500+ images to edit, I keep forgetting to give my blog some love.

I’ve got to get back to editing, but I wanted to share a gorgeous, spring-y (aren’t you LOVING the weather and all the flowers?!) image from Kristina and Jonathan’s engagement session. It was raining when we arrived at the Botanical Gardens for our session, but they were total troopers. These two are SO MUCH FUN! We laughed constantly, I think. I am so looking forward to their wedding in a couple weeks!

Lauren [San Antonio Maternity Portraits]

I had a wonderful portrait session with Lauren and Cody today! These two are just weeks away from meeting their baby boy, and they’re very excited! Just wanted to share a few of my favorites before I finished up for the day.

Marissa + Russell [Los Patios Wedding]

When I arrived at Los Patios one afternoon in November, I was not met by the usual chaos and hubbub that usually surrounds a wedding. As I walked upstairs in search of the wedding party, I was met by Russell — happy, calm, and so ready. When I walked into the bridal suite, I felt the same peace. Marissa and Russell just have this level of deep love for each other that to get married was the most natural thing in the world. No jitters, no nerves, just peace. As Marissa’s dad walked her down the aisle, I just loved watching Russell’s face… both of their faces! Now that’s love.

These two share a love that I can tell is deep and true — the kind of love you could only have for your very best friend and soulmate. It was such an amazing celebration. A beautiful day, their son, two happy and loving families, amazing wedding details… everything was perfect.

Merry Christmas!

I find that Christmas has sort of snuck up on me this year. We never got around to putting the lights up outside and I didn’t bake the piles of cookies and pies that I had planned. But in a way, it was nice keeping things simpler. I’ve really enjoyed this Christmas season, and I hope you have too. May today be a day filled with joy, peace, thankfulness, and wonderful memories for you and your family. I’m so thankful for each of you who are a part of my life, and who make it wonderful.

Merry Christmas!
Breanna

P.S. This is another shot we got of sweet Mary Jo during her newborn session. Christmas gifts don’t get any better than this!

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.

Derek & Amber [Wedding]

Derek and Amber’s ceremony was truly probably one of the sweetest weddings I’ve ever been to. The whole day was just so full of joy and happiness and thankfulness. I have to admit getting a little teary as they said their vows to each other. It was a beautiful day in every way. Derek and Amber, we wish you all the best as you begin your new life together!

Felicia and Adrian [Mini-Session]

breanna — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 18:32:34 +0000

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? Join us on Facebook to find out about other contests and specials!)

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!
