As of April 27, 2020, Gregg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, outlined the details of his plans to reopen the Texas economy beginning May 1st. The Governor has granted sole proprietors the decision to reopen their businesses with limited capacity so long as they are able to follow strict guidelines.
As many of you know, safety has and always will be my top priority as I pursue what drives me the most- capturing and creating amazing memories of the most important moments from my client’s lives.
During Phase 1: May 1st to May 18th
- Post-production: Photo editing will continue for my previous clients in addition to my future clients who photograph their own images and commission my studio for editing.

As many of you know I had to temporarily close my photography studio because of the crises with Coronavirus.
I want to let you know that I am not giving up and I am actually trying to find solutions on how to keep the business going. Even I can’t personally take pictures for my clients, I can still help make their memories. You are probably asking now how is it possible?
Recently I introduced to my clients on my Facebook page retouching services I start providing for my clients.
It’s simple! You will take pictures of the subject and I will retouch the image for you with all skills I have in Photoshop.
My clients have also an option to call me during their photography session from their own home or from nature and I can assist them on the phone via FaceTime, Skype or any other App.
I will be also sharing with each client posing ideas online.
The price of the retouching services is $20 per image.
Post-process using digital backdrop $25 per image. (Digital backdrop is not included)
Online mentoring $20 per hour
I already had some clients who sent me images for retouch and here is the example of how we fixed the images.
Using digital backdrops help images get amazing looks.
You don’t know how to find the right digital backdrop for your portraits? It’s all good, I will help you with the process.
I will first review the images you took and then I will recommend which type of digital backdrops are the best for images you have. 
If you are planning a photography session I recommend looking at the digital backdrops first! The reason why you shout look at the digital backdrops first is that you have to know how you are going to photograph your subject. Where the light has to be. But don’t worry I will help you with it.
Feel free to browse on Etsy to see amazing digital backdrops made by different designers.
Newborn digital backdrops
Outdoor digital backdrops for portraiture of kids and adults
Fantasy digital backdrops for portraiture of kids and adults

I am writing to you as we face a challenging time together – one that is certainly unprecedented in recent history. I have been closely monitoring the situation with COVID-19 as it has rapidly evolved, and I am doing my best to anticipate its impact on our lives and on my photography studio business.
As many of you know, safety has and always will be my top priority as I pursue what drives me the most- capturing and creating amazing memories of the most important moments from my client’s lives. The sudden global outbreak of COVID-19 threatens my ability to safely capture and create amazing portraits for you all.
Moving forward I will support the safety of my family, clients and the city of San Antonio by adhering to the executive order put in place by the President and the additional orders levied on the state of Texas by Governor Greg Abbott as of March 19, 2020. The order requires all non-essential businesses to halt business operations for the next 7 days- and possibly longer.
During this time, post-production editing will continue as I fulfill orders for my previous clients.
Due to the uncertainty of circumstances with COVID-19, I will communicate with my clients to reschedule sessions. If rescheduling becomes too difficult, clients will receive a credit to their account. This credit may be applied toward future photography sessions.
Thank you to all of my clients for their patience and understanding that health, safety, and following government guidelines are my highest responsibility. Beginning tomorrow I will reach out to clients that have booked sessions.
My hope is that social distancing will help stabilize the situation and slow the spread of this destructive virus. Together we can triumph and overcome. Thank you all!
