Bluebonnet Portrait Day

March 26th, 2008 · No Comments

As You Wish

will host our first annual
(but second ever)

Bluebonnet Portrait Day
Sunday, April 13th

Sessions are 50% off making them just $100 for a 1-hour session! This is an excellent opportunity to update family portraits. College Students: take advantage of having the family in town for Parents’ Weekend.

Though the price is 50% off, you still get 100% service!

  • You still get a full 1-hour session.
  • You still get online image hosting and sales.
  • And, when you spend just $300, you’ll get a CD/DVD-ROM with all the hi-resolution images and a license for personal use.

You can fill your facebook profiles and flickr accounts with images and share them with your family and friends all over the web!

Most people react with “oh I don’t have anything to wear”. Not true! Neutral colors are the best attire for bluebonnet portraits: denim, white, khaki, black, etc. Avoid red/maroon for the best look You can read more about what to wear (and what not to wear) on our site:

Pre-touched vs. Re-touched

September 24th, 2007 · No Comments

Pre-touched images. Since January 2006, all http://www.asyouwishbcs.com/asyouwish_images/asyouwish-281t-t.jpg images have been pre-touched before they are delivered to clients. We make any necessary cropping and editing for the 4×6 and 5×7 sizes.

Re-touched images. If a client wants further editing for an 8×10 or larger image, http://www.asyouwishbcs.com/asyouwish_images/asyouwish-281t-t.jpg will re-touch the image. Small changes are included with the cost of the print as long as requests are emailed before a print order is placed.. Larger changes are billed at a rate of $60 hourly.

Nancy, Nicholas, & Christopher…

September 2nd, 2007 · No Comments

The Hankins wanted to get some portraits of Nancy, Nicholas, & Christopher before the family’s move to Ireland. We headed to Traditions and a nearby park for a fun little adventure that captured some amazing expressions.

Then, as a surprise for the family, Jessica and I (along with our friend, Cady), returned to Traditions to photograph Buddy and Samantha. We all hope that these memories making living overseas without the “first babies” a bit easier.

Kim & Lance Witt-Parr

August 20th, 2007 · No Comments

Kim & Lance Witt-Parr (click to see images online) said “I do” in front of the big screen at the historic Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas. Their unique movie-themed event was led by their good friends in the industry and was, by design, the funniest and most entertaining wedding I’ve ever witnessed.

After a marathon engagement (since 1993) little elements like the maids’ and bride’s entrance to “At Last” were special touches that got the guests–those present in both body and spirit–in the right mood for this one-of-a-kind event.

What a great wedding memory…their names on the marquis
“Congratulations! At Last
The Wedding Kim & Lance 07 07 07″


As part of the decor for this event, we created “movie” posters from the couple’s engagement images.


Can you imagine a prettier setting?


Lance got ready in the leading star’s dressing room.


The couple’s dear late friend, Walt, was present in spirit.


“At Last”


“IMPRESSIVE CLERGYMAN
(clears his throat, begins to speak)Mawidge…mawidge is what bwings
us togewer today…
Mawidge, the bwessed awwangement,
that dweam wiffim a dweam…”
Yes, the officiant began the ceremony by quoting the wedding scene from The Princess Bride.


With this ring?


these friends made an impressive wedding team


sweet!


Kim’s bridal images were also made into a movie poster for display at the reception.


The couple are not only film buffs, but also life-long frog collectors.


Some of the movie reels that served as cake stands were almost 100 years old!


Rice? Not at this wedding. Popcorn!



and no movie-themed wedding would be complete without a movie at the reception
Guests were entertained by Ian Fleming’s From Russia With Love.


The marquis was especially impressive later that evening.

On Sunday, Lance, Kim and http://www.asyouwishbcs.com/asyouwish_images/asyouwish-281t-t.jpg gathered at the State Capitol building and grounds for some formal photography.
