Hello Clients! The Holiday season is upon us and I’m excited to say that this is my “give back” time. I love Christmas! I love the Holidays in general and everything about the Holidays move me. From a different wardrobe, different makeup colors, fun wintery scarves and clothes…and of course..THE FOOD! lol.
That said, this year is different for me. I wanted to bless my clients this year for being so faithful and generous this past year and sticking with me after having a baby and understanding my mommy schedule. (insert hug here). I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to be able to talk to a client and know that they understand I got a baby on the hip at times. Yes…I do! (or in a sling).
So! I bought this hideous couch off Craigslist. LOL And…my beloved nannie made the cushions with this amazing gorgeous Christmas”e” material. My goal was to have a couch with woodwork and with a few alterations..we went from hideous to gorgeous. 
Whaaaalaaa, A Christmas couch! I call these pictures “It’s a Couch Christmas”.
YES! What you see below in my advertisement is what you will get. A great couch, a great family and great photography. My prices are reduced and I even included an additional discount for my single dads/moms, military and special needs families. I know how hard it can be. *I want to bless you.
I included a Paypal button below for you so that you can book your date. Please keep in mind, I will email you the times. My space is going to be limited as I’m advertising in my neighborhood as well. It’s a great way for me to get your family pics done and out! You will love it! Come ye, come all. Any questions, feel free to email me and please know that I’ll have 2 assistants on site with me all day to help you round up the little ones. My advice is always to bring that friend or relative that can help you as well. Either way, know that our goal is to get you not only a Christmas picture…but a family photo that will BLOW UP to a 16×20 gallery wrap on your wall. A timeless picture for your family. That’s always Astudio’s mission!
Big hugs and look forward to seeing you!! Warm regards, Andrea Hughes and the Astudio Team.

Meet Stephanie and her daughter Demaris. Stephanie and I reconnected on Facebook and we both went to High School together. (and elementary and we won’t say how many years back!) :)…This said, when Stephanie contacted me I asked her “do you want city cool or Grassy pretty?”. Her answer…I want green and pretty. So…whaaalaaa. We got green/pretty and a gorgeous mommy/daughter. I was so excited when I saw Demaris because she has crazy curly hair and crazy gorgeous eyes! I absolutely loved shooting this team. Stephanie…girl..can I just say you look amazing! Thanks sweetie….you both made my day. Enjoy bloggers….see below….can you just see this child’s personality jump off the page?! She was such a delight!

Ok…location Las Colinas, Texas. Near the canal. Meet the Cargill family! Shanna contacted me a few months ago (thanks to a referral from Jackie!..hugs Jackie!!) and we met out super duper early. I give Shanna a 10pt bonus for bringing her mom that was magical in getting her granddaughter to smile and laugh. (personal note…this is so huge families!..bring the one person that can make that baby smile) This said, between a bottle feed in between a few shots and dad heading out to work thereafter…we got some really great shots. I personally think Payton (the little girl) falls into my ridiculous cute category! LOL. I know..she’s adorable. Thanks Shanna for trusting me and many thanks to Grandma for singing beautifully. Also..the little boy (grandson.I believe)…what a trouper. I had to add that cuteness as well! Can’t wait to see the prints.

Hello blog friends, I am here…I am alive…I’m way behind. (insert smile here) I always put my clients first and get them on their proofing portals before I get a chance to blog. Believe it or not…these pictures below are 3 weeks worth of shoots! So….here is a snap shot glimpse of my favs. I plan to fully post each shoot in the next week. Until then…enjoy!
Pam + Greg: This is the wedding that I was told was a backyard wedding. Little did I know it was a backyard behind a beautiful log cabin mansion on 100 acres. A seriously gorgeous and Godly wedding.
Workshop pic below: Model Jessica: ….and yes…this workshop changed my life and will change my photography once again! (thank you KELLY!!)

Finally bloggers…I’m back! Please forgive my delay. I’m a few photoshoots behind in blogging and I’m not complaining. Thank you clients for the work. I am becoming more and more grateful to my clients as they are contributing to my family and this allows me to stay at home with my special babes.
This said, PART 2 of the AKINS family!! Yay! I have to say…this photoshoot was a busy, busy one! These girls are so fun and so sweet. I never had a sister. But I must say….watching those girls interact and run around made me think of what it would have been like. Thank you Heather and Dave for a fun filled shoot! big hugs, Andrea

First off, I just have to say..this photoshoot touched my heart. This child is so energetic and the mom is equally as passionate. Put the two together and you can’t help but see serious love between a daughter and momma. So fun. I loved this shoot. It was a great pleasure. Enjoy!
