FOR THE Amazing athletes

The Lindberg ATHLETE Photography Experience

Part of parenting is supporting our kids as they develop their skills and become even more of who they are. You drive them to practices, cheer from the sidelines, attend the games, sell candy bars, organize (and wash!) the gear, hold them through disappointments and celebrate their victories. This part of your chid’s life deserves to be documented in a way that captures their grit, dedication and commitment to their sport.

Creating incredible Athlete portraits is one of our favorite creative endeavors. We promise to document what makes your athlete special–whether in marching band, swim team, golf, barrel racing, or all of the above; we’ll find the way to share their shine. This is not just a photo shoot; it’s a way of celebrating and preserving the extraordinary individuality of your athlete. Step into our studio and experience the difference of a portrait session that truly recognizes what makes your child who they are.

Experience

ATHLETIC PERSONALITIES

You can be yourself here. Shy, extroverted, unsure, supremely confident and everything in between. We artfully guide you, helping to bring out your best self. We know how to flatter you, but also keep it real. While making gorgeous portraits, you’ll also be making fun memories of a sport you love. It’s a total win.

Families drive from in from all over Texas to experience what we offer. And they often make a whole day of it! Lockhart is a gem, with its cute and historic town square, “Most photographed courthouse in Texas,” art galleries, unique shops, eateries and, of course, famous BBQ joints. It’s the perfect spot to explore before or after your session with your people.

PORTFOLIO

“The whole experience was beyond expectations! We were greeted and made to feel special. They had a way to calm us and taking instructions on poses easily. The background music was on point! My daughter and I had a blast and this was a memory we’ll keep with us along with the flawless photos.”

Debbie D.

“Our daughter did a photo shoot with her dog for teen athletes for Kinetic Kids. We had an AMAZING experience for the photo shoot, scheduling and ordering. Words cannot describe the beauty of the photos we have received. Thank You for the lasting memories!”

Brandi Rountree

“I cannot explain how happy we are with our photos! Everyone at the studio was very welcoming, and made us feel very comfortable despite our nerves. Do not hesitate, it is worth the investment.”

01. The Consultation

Tell us all about them…

We go ‘old school’ here and begin with an old fashioned, analog phone call. No AI, just real talk with our amazing team to learn more about your athletes and anything we need to know to further customize their session to fit them. Does your athlete play more than one sport? Does she play an instrument you’d like to incorporate? Is he in marching band? Getting to know more about them before the session, is key to making beautiful portraits that look and feel like them. And while they’re at the studio, it’s the perfect time to pop in at the end of their session for a few family portraits.

02. The photo session

FEEL Fierce

We designed our Studio with you all in mind so you feel right at home. You’ll meet your portrait artists and visit over a bottle of water—still or sparkling? We have a dedicated changing room for you with a full length mirror and the perfect spot to hang any additional clothes. There are snacks including nut free and gluten free ones for the taking. We’ll talk about your sport or sports and then create the most powerful, evocative, beautiful and meaningful portraits together.

In the camera room, our team will help guide every step of the way, both by giving you gentle direction and catching you in your element. This is no ordinary portrait session. You’ll feel relaxed, have fun and leave feeling happy that you came. And before you step out the door you’ll be able to see all the possibilities for your portraits and touch the museum level artwork we create, such as our Acrylics, Italian Boxes and Storyboards.

03. Your Art Selection

THE BIG REVEAL

Your images have been prepared in our exclusive B&W Style for your cinematic Zoom presentation. Guided by one of the Studio’s expert Portrait Designers, we’ll present your portraits and go over all of the current artwork and digital options, helping you place an order that will look perfect in your home, and that you’ll love forever.

04. Delivery Day

CELEBRATE

Your order is ready and your artwork has arrived! Perhaps you selected a gorgeous acrylic piece for your living room or a matted print collection for a gallery wall. Your artwork is lovingly packaged and shipped directly to you so that you can start enjoying it now and for decades–even generations– to come. Digitals are shared via a link so you can start sharing on socials the moment you get them.

READY FOR YOUR CLOSE-UP?

When you invest your time with us, you end up with something much more than just pictures. We make memories. The effortlessness of our experience will make you feel at home and relaxed (and even have fun!) and the resulting artwork and images will take your breath away.

And after it’s all said and done, you’ll be bursting to have something so beautiful of your athlete… portraits that you can hold in your hands – display on your walls, and share on your socials. Life can be so busy – It’s never the perfect time – but you’ll never regret taking the time to come to our Studio and capture these moments with your athlete for years to come.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

We work with you to help select the right clothing for your portrait session. Many athletes opt for two looks. This can be your main sport and a secondary sport or hobby. Please bring balls, trophies, uniforms, gloves and anything you use in your sport that can be carried into the Studio. We love options! The Studio provides all scheduled portrait clients with what to wear wardrobe suggestions and ideas. We have a comfortable changing room and we have built time into your appointment for you to change clothes and we can help you choose what will photograph best. Families, be sure to take this opportunity to jump in at the end of your athlete’s session to update your family portraits.

We block out an hour for your appointment and your actual photography time lasts approximately 30 minutes. Portrait Sessions currently take place on Saturdays and Sundays, by appointment only.

Our Studio is in Lockhart, close to Austin and not far from San Antonio. Most of our clients drive 30 minutes to 3 hours to come and see us, and often make a day of it here because the town is so historic, walkable and cute. (And BBQ!) Be sure to visit our local art galleries, vintage and antique stores, cafe’s and Bookery that many children–and adults–love!

One of our dedicated Portrait Designers will review your portraits together with you on Zoom within 1-2 weeks after your session, allowing you to experience and reflect on the beauty of your session using our fun and decisive selection process and unique software. As you order your favorite portraits and presentations that best suit your home, aesthetic and budget, you’ll feel confident in your decisions.

All orders are placed in person on Zoom and taken care of at this meeting. We believe in creating as few loose ends as possible. (On-line postings, links and printed proofs to take home are not available at our Studio.) The Zoom reveal is often described as one of our clients’ favorite parts of working with us. Please review the Artwork Section of our website to see some of our most popular artwork options with pricing information.

An important note: If you are married or partnered, both of you will not want to miss this Zoom, which currently takes place by appointment on Fridays and Sundays. Why is this? In most relationships, both members tend to like having at least some input (either financial or aesthetic) in the ordering process. It’s also emotional, and happy tears can and do often happen. (Bring tissues, just in case!) Too many times, we have heard extreme regret when a partner has not been able to attend. Second Zoom appointments are costly and can be challenging to accommodate as we are a boutique studio that is booked to a limited capacity so that we may serve our clients at the highest levels of attention and detail.

The Studio’s Museum Wall Art Portraits, Prints and Italian Boxes are handcrafted by the finest purveyors from all of the world, from the US to Italy.

Clients are given a time frame of 6 weeks to 3 months for their artwork to be completed and delivered to them. Your pieces will be lovingly packaged and shipped to you at home, making the process of adding museum quality art to your home both convenient and simple. Digital Artwork takes an average of 4 weeks to complete.

Our standard session fee is $750 which includes a $250 ordering credit. We do have special offers for clients who participate in one of our artist projects, where clients grant permission for us to share their images in our displays and social media galleries and are selected via an application process.

Jennifer Lindberg Studio is known for its timeless and luminous B&W style but some clients love color as well. If you would like to order your portraits in color, please let your Portrait Designer know at your Zoom Reveal & Ordering Meeting and we’ll provide you with color add-on options.
