FAMILY Portraits

The Lindberg FAMILY Photography Experience

We’re a team of portrait artists with a passion for creating stunning black and white photographic art of your family that is anything but ordinary. When you commission us, you’re not just getting a run-of-the-mill photo studio experience. Instead, we’ll work closely with you to understand your distinct personalities and style, so we can create family portraits worthy of being called authentic art. What can you expect when you arrive? A warm welcome into our creative world. We can’t wait to start this incredible journey with you and create unforgettable memories!

COUNT ME IN!

Experience

EXPRESS YOURSELF

You can be yourself here. We artfully guide you, helping to bring out your best selves. We know how to flatter you, but also keep it real. While making gorgeous portraits, you’ll also be making fun memories with the people you love most in all the world. 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

“We knew that our family portraits would be great when we stepped into the gallery. Each picture on the wall looked like a piece of artwork not just your standard run of the mill photo.”

Brandyse Bonds

“I’ll be honest, my husband was a bit hesitant to drive to Lockhart to take some photos, but once we were in the midst of the photoshoot, he was beaming with pride as he watched our daughter smile and enjoy the process.”

Keri Griffith

“Words cannot express how much fun we had during our photo shoot. Jennifer has an amazing team of talented photographers and staff who make you feel so comfortable and seeing the portraits was an ‘aha-moment’ for my husband & me.”

01. The Consultation

CONNECTION IS EVERYTHING

We go ‘old school’ here with an old fashioned phone call. No AI, just real talk with our amazing team to learn more about your family and anything we need to know to better customize your session to fit YOU. Getting to know more about you and your family before the session, is key to making beautiful portraits that look and feel like you.

02. Your photo session

FEEL RELAXED

We designed our Studio with you in mind so you can 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.

In the camera room, we will help you every step of the way, both by giving you gentle direction and by catching you being yourselves. 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 and touch the museum level artwork we offer, such as our Wall Art Pieces, 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 present your portraits and go over all of the Studio’s current artwork and digital options, helping you place an order that will look perfect in your home and that you’ll love forever. Getting updated family portraits will be fully checked off your list!

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 social the moment you get them.

BECAUSE THEY GROW UP SO FAST

You want to soak up every second of them at this stage and then, before you know it, time whizzes by and they’ve changed again! You can’t stop time but you can have Lindberg portraits that transport you back to the exact feel of how they used to hug you and how wonderful and precious those moments were. If you can relate to the below, we are the Studio for you:

You had a portrait session once before and everyone complained

And you don’t want the same thing to happen.

You don’t enjoy having your picture taken

And you always hate how you look.

You have tons of pictures of the kids on your phone

But none of them with you.

Behind the Scenes

Ready to take the next step?

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

And, after it’s all said and done, you’ll be bursting with pride and joy to have something so beautiful of your people… portraits that you can hold in your hands, display on your walls, and share on your socials. And when you’re sitting together looking back at these, you’ll be so glad you came. Life can be so busy – it never seems like the perfect time – and yet you’ll never regret the time you took to come to our Studio to enjoy and capture these moments with your wonderful family for years to come.

I’m Ready

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

We work with you to help select the right clothing for your portrait session. Many families opt for two looks. This can be a formal or semi-formal classic look paired with a more casual style, such as dark jeans, button up shirts for men, and casual dresses or skirts for women, or textured shirts and sweaters for all. Depending on your family’s personal style, some opt for casual and then more fun or funky. The Studio provides all scheduled portrait clients with what to wear wardrobe suggestions and ideas. Please see our blog post on what to wear for more ideas. Feel free to bring several options with you as 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.

We block out an hour for your appointment and your actual photography time lasts approximately 30 minutes, depending on the number of people in your family or the number of dogs in your pack. Portrait Sessions currently take place on Saturdays and Sundays, by appointment.

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 family using our fun and decisive selection process and unique software. As you order your favorite portraits and choose presentations that best suit your home, aesthetic and budget, you’ll to feel confident in your decisions.

All orders are placed in person on Zoom and taken care of at this meeting. Your family portraits will be fully checked off your list! We believe in creating as few loose ends as possible. (on-line postings 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? 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 expensive 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.
