San Antonio Children's Portrait Artist

We consider children's portrait photography to be our specialty here at our San Antonio studio

This quote comes closest to describing why we focus on children's portraits:

"Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children." Charles R. Swindoll

As parents ourselves, we have grown to understand more and more over time, just how big of a responsibility it is to be the custodian of the memories and self-image our children carry with them from their early years.

A child's identity over their life can be thought of as the image they hold of themselves from the earliest time they spend with their family until they become adults.  It is emotional, it is tangible and often it is very visual.

Visual memories are anchored by the visual record that children inherit from their parents via photography and portraits

There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A photographic legacy in photography and portraits of your child from birth to adulthood is one of the finest ways to help a child understand the roots of their family history

Do you have memories of your family history that are kept alive via family photos?

In our home it has become a ritual!  When the grandchildren visit THEY pull out the albums and photo boxes.  You know how children are, especially young ones, they love to hear stories over and over.  As adults we wonder how they can stand the repetition, but think about what they are doing; they are building their family history in their minds.  They are looking at the images, hearing the stories and their brains are becoming hard-wired to understand their place in the family.  They make us tell those stories that go with each photo and I'll tell you what, if we deviate from the last time they heard it, they will let us know!  

We take our mission statement, 'Because your story deserves to be preserved forever' very seriously and we create fine art portraits for just this reason - because they will be around for the long haul.

We feel very strongly about being a family's trusted advisor when it comes to their family's photographic legacy.  We strive to be there to either create the images that will enrich your children's lives, or give you help in preserving the images you create yourself.  We actually have an entire part of our business that is dedicated to ensuring that parents have the opportunity to create photographic art for their children every year. 

It's called HGP Kids.  The basic idea is that once your child becomes a member of our HGP Kids club, they will receive a complementary portrait session every year until they are age 14. 

You read that right, NO SESSION fees until age 14!
