Arantza Quince Portraits – Mission, Texas – Ben Briones Studios
Posted on March 28, 2020
Another great photo session shot on our Fujifilm XT3 and XH1 for this young ladies quince. Shooting with a new camera is always challenging but with the experience I have it’s been fun learning a whole new system and it makes you feel great seeing results like these.
We shot these portraits at a private residents in Sharyland, Texas. The quince was great to work with, she was very open to our ideas and use of the home. We used a mix of ambient light and studio light. What I love about the my Fujifilm XH1 is I get to use my old school Canon FD and Nikon G lenses on the body with an adapter. Check out some of our favorite shots from this session.

Celina Jorge – Baby Shower – Cimarron Country Club
Posted on December 23, 2019
Celina and Mario have been a long term clients and friends of ours. We’ve had the pleasure of photographing their engagement, their bridal shower, their wedding, and now their maternity and baby shower. Oh, and I forgot, their family portraits too!
The baby shower was at the Cimarron Country Club in Mission, Texas, where they served an awesome brunch menu for the guest. Celena’s sister, the host, had fun games for the ladies in attendance that yielded awesome gifts for the winners of the games.
It was definitely a fun filled baby shower with the touch of fanciness. My favorite thing about this whole event was finding out the baby and I share the name! Photo Credit: Sara Yanez, Ben Briones

Adalie’s Quince – Mission, Texas – Ben Briones Studios
Posted on April 19, 2019
Having a Quinceañera is super special for a young woman and the parents. I met Adalie when her father brought her to my studio for her formal portrait session. Her photos turned out so beautiful in her portraits with her blue dress. It was no surprise that the result of her photos from her Quinceañera would be any different.
Here are our favorite photos from documenting a special evening of symbolic traditions, dancing, and fun moments of Adalie celebrating her 15th birthday with her family and friends.

Zavala Family Portraits – Mission, Texas – Ben Briones
Posted on August 19, 2018
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.
