Britny & Ignacio Announcement – Tomorrow There Will Be More of Us! – Edinburg, Texas

Ben Briones Studios Leave a comment

From shooting their engagement photos, to traveling with my team to Fredericksburg, Texas to document their wedding day, I have been photographing Britny and Ignacio’s special moments up to now.  Being given the opportunity to once more be a part of another milestone in their lives by photographing their baby announcement was exciting!

Britny had great ideas.  She wanted a theater as the location to shoot this announcement.  We scouted around town and decided to use the Edinburg Municipal Auditorium and the Citrus Theater located down town Edinburg, Texas.  Tell us how we did, these are our favorite shots.

Congratulations, Britny and Ignacio!

Amanda Maternity – Sarita, Texas – Ben Briones Studios

Ben Briones Studios Leave a comment

Today we shot some beautiful maternity photos in a town named Sarita, Texas, which is a short distance from Kingsville, Texas. The family chose to have their photos taken at the Kenedy Ranch Museum. Amanda is a returning client. We took Amanda and Marcos Wedding photos back in November of 2018 and today we photographed another special milestone in their lives.

The Kenedy Ranch Museum has a beautiful outdoor country feel and it was perfect for the ideas Amanda had planned. Here are some of our favorite photos. 2019-04-13_00012019-04-13_00022019-04-13_00032019-04-13_00042019-04-13_00052019-04-13_00062019-04-13_00072019-04-13_00082019-04-13_00092019-04-13_00102019-04-13_0011

Ben Briones Studios Leave a comment

Family is extremely important and the Hernandez family know that! I took the beautiful family photos of Sabrina and her family back in the day, when the McAllen Convention Center wasn’t such a hot spot for photo shoots. Since this family session this family has come to me for various milestones in their lives such as graduation photos, cotillion presentations to various event’s hosted by the Edinburg Boys & Girls Club, which Mrs. Sabrina was the officer for. For those who don’t know, the Edinburg Boys & Girls Club was one of my very firs jobs and I am very thankful for the opportunity to have served as part of this great organization and it’s all thanks to Mrs. Sabrina Hernandez-Walker.  This family has always been part of the Ben Briones Studios family and I am always happy to show off their photos on my website. sabrina & family_print_bbp-14_websabrina & family_print_bbp-19_websabrina & family_print_bbp-23_websabrina & family_print_bbp-25_websabrina & family_print_bbp-27_websabrina & family_print_bbp-33_websabrina & family_print_bbp-34_websabrina & family_print_bbp-40_web

THROWBACK TUESDAY! (Yeah, that’s a thing.)

Two years ago we photographed one of my friend’s baby.  They wanted to celebrate her arrival by capturing photos of her and together as a family. We photographed a few shots of the baby inside their home and then we took the family portraits in an empty field across the house during a beautiful sunset. Please enjoy our favorite shots.

Zavala Family Portraits – Mission, Texas – Ben Briones

Ben Briones Studios Leave a comment

When planning a family photo session one thing that you need to consider is the location. Living in the Rio Grande Valley we all know it’s extremely hot and sunny so when discussing the photo shoot with my clients I always show them locations that have both indoor and outdoor areas to shoot in. Now, most of the places are going to charge you to use them so you have to prepare for that as well. I have a rule with my clients; if the location is $100 and below I will pay for it, but if it’s more than $100 I asks the client to split the cost with me. I already have a location fee built into my premium portrait packages just in case we do shoot at a place that charges you to use it.

For this particular family photo session we used the very popular Memory Lane Photo Spot located in Mission, Texas. I love this place for family photos because it has both indoor and outdoor variety and the owners are super nice! The place is a one-hundred year old home with lots of character and well decorated. The inside has a beautiful wood finish with a staircase, a piano, and very nice furniture. The outdoors is lush with beautiful landscaping and rustic settings. I have used Memory Lane Photo Spot for all kinds of photos shoots including bridal, engagements, maternity, etc. Here are my favorite outdoor shots of the Zavala Family at Memory Lane Photo Spot in Mission, Texas. ZavalaFamily_HighRes_BBS-1_WEBZavalaFamily_HighRes_BBS-5_WEBZavalaFamily_HighRes_BBS-6_WEBZavalaFamily_HighRes_BBS-12_WEBZavalaFamily_HighRes_BBS-17_WEBZavalaFamily_HighRes_BBS-25_WEBZavalaFamily_HighRes_BBS-27_WEBZavalaFamily_HighRes_BBS-16_WEB

This weekend I photographed a surprise engagement for a lovely couple at South Padre Island, Texas but in order for the couple not to find why she was really at the beach with all her family, her mom scheduled a “giant family photo shoot”. These are some of photos I was able to grab before we turned this “family session” into the surprise proposal! Enjoy! 2018-07-22_00032018-07-22_00042018-07-22_00052018-07-22_00062018-07-22_00072018-07-22_00082018-07-22_00092018-07-22_0002

Ember & Adrian + 1 – Hummingbird Estates – Donna, Texas

Ben Briones Studios Leave a comment

In 2011 – 2012 or so I photographed this couples engagement photos and wedding. Just shy of mother’s day I photographed their maternity photos as well. I really enjoy seeing the couples I work with grow together and start a family. This is one of the main reasons why I have chosen to a professional photographer.

When Ember reached out to me to take these photos she seemed set on my services so we moved on quickly to try to get a location and we chose Donna, Texas’ very own wedding venue; Hummingbird Estates A.K.A. Hummingbird Springs. I have shot there a few times and always loved how the photos come out but this time around it was very special and man did the photos come out lovely! Here are my favorite shots! 05.04.18_PRINT_Ember Adrian Maternity_BBS-6160_WEB05.04.18_PRINT_Ember Adrian Maternity_BBS-6189_WEB05.04.18_PRINT_Ember Adrian Maternity_BBS-6279_WEB05.04.18_PRINT_Ember Adrian Maternity_BBS-6202_WEB05.04.18_PRINT_Ember Adrian Maternity_BBS-6223_WEB05.04.18_PRINT_Ember Adrian Maternity_BBS-6207_WEB05.04.18_PRINT_Ember Adrian Maternity_BBS-6353_WEB05.04.18_PRINT_Ember Adrian Maternity_BBS-6372_WEB05.04.18_PRINT_Ember Adrian Maternity_BBS-6389_WEB
