pop-up portrait sessions

Carr Family Session | Austin, TX by Shana Berenzweig

Once again it’s been forever and a day since I’ve blogged, but felt the bug bite today and here we are.

So to know the lovely Momma Carr here is to love her. She’s a special lady.

After years of talking about doing a session together, but it never quite working out with 5 busy kids, several of which had already flown the coop, I was so happy when she messaged me about a session a few months ago.

The silver-lining to the pandemic was that all her babies were home and I was running some of my Pop-Up Porch Session specials. It was kismet.

When I asked her what she wanted to focus on during our time together, she without hesitation said photos of the whole family together. And I couldn’t have been happier to oblige.

Here are a few of my faves our time together earlier this summer.

How is it February 2020 already?! by Shana Berenzweig

Welp.

Somehow we’re halfway through February 2020 and I never did any of the end of the year posts I had planned. I couldn’t even manage to put together a short and sweet ‘Happy New Year’ post like I told myself I would.

Geez, woman, get it together.

But as is the case in many situations, better late than never, right?

Well, I hope so, because I don’t know about y’all, but throughout January, I struggled more than usual to get back into the swing of things after taking much-needed time off during the holidays.

And it was so frustrating.

I had a list of things to get done — besides the normal work and shoots, I’m working thru a photography workshop and a business bootcamp, then there’s my taxes (oy vey!), my feeble attempts to write a bunch a blog posts to help me be better at sharing more here throughout the coming year, planning a special headshots/portraits event, and working on a few new photography session offerings and services.

Whew. I’m exhausted just typing all that.

But wait, there’s more to do.

There are several family sessions I’ve done over the past few months I’d like to blog about and then there are some personal photos and posts I’d like to share.

Considering my horrible record on consistent blogging, it might be a while until I get to them, so here are some of my favorite client images from the second half of 2019 that I haven’t blogged about yet.

Christensen Family Session | Austin, TX by Shana Berenzweig

I’ve literally been photographing these babies since they were in their mama’s belly as the Christensen crew are my oldest and dearest friends and clients (fun fact: I’ve know this wonderful mama since we were 3). They’re one of my original muses and I don’t know if I’d be doing what I love without them. So without further ado, some of my faves from our yearly session together.

Shafir-Sheehan Family Session | Ft. Worth, TX by Shana Berenzweig

A few weeks ago, while I was in Ft. Worth for the fall run of my pop-up portrait sessions, I met up with another one of my beloved, longtime families. I’ve known the beautiful-inside-and-out Dana Shafir since high school and have been so lucky to photograph her equally lovely family several times over the years, along with a big ol’ multi-generational family session and headshots. We always have so much fun together and the only downside is that our session can’t last longer because I never tire of shooting them. Here’s a peek of our brief, but beautiful time together.

Bauer Family Session | Tucson, AZ by Shana Berenzweig

A few weeks ago, I made another roadtrip out west and stopped in Tucson on my way. I spent less than 24 hours there, but I already want to go back to this charming desert city and most of that has to do with these two lovelies. For our golden hour session, we did something I love to do — capturing families in places that matter to them — so we headed out to explore a beautiful canyon nestled in the mountains with a forest of Saguaros where momma and daughter hike often.

I fell in love with this spot and would probably never tire of shooting here. Check out a little of the magic we created together and see why I can’t wait to go back to visit this beautiful family and city.
