The Four Steps to an Exceptional Legacy Portrait

Drawing on our 10 years of experience as a legacy portrait studio, we have created a four step process to ensure that every family and individual we photograph in our Studio receives exceptional portraits and service. Below you'll find a short description of each step. Our Studio portraits are a blend  of timeless, classical posing and natural moments. 

 

1. CONSULTATION

Planning your session is a critical step in the creation of exceptional legacy portraits. This time is used to completely and fully understand your goals to design your ideal legacy portrait.

2. THE SESSION

All of the details are taken care of and now you can come to the Studio, simply relax and entrust us with creating your portraits. Planning ahead ensures session time is reasonable.

3. SELECTION & PURCHASE

At our San Antonio Studio, located in The Alley on Bitters, you'll attend a special screening of your proofs. We assist you with portrait selection & ordering.

4. DELIVERY DAY!

Your artwork has arrived! Perhaps you ordered a gorgeous Signature canvas or a Museum Black and White. We deliver (or you pick up) and you are set to enjoy your artwork for years to come.
