The 2023 Mermaid Photo Experience is now open for booking!

Here are some tips to help you and your child prepare for this exciting and magical photoshoot.

# 1. the Right Outfit
When it comes to mermaid portraits, the right outfit can make all the difference. And have no fear because I have you covered on wardrobe and accessories! Feel free to bring your own jewelry or anything else you’d like to incorporate, but KBP will provide the mermaid tail, top, crown options, and some extra mermaid sparkle for your magical session.

# 2. Posing
Mermaid portraits are all about capturing the magic of your child's imagination. I have many years of experience with coaxing natural poses and expressions from little ones. You can help your child prepare by telling them we are taking photos but that it will be a very fun time to play, so they don’t feel pressure to perform in a certain way.

# 3. Location and Timing

Choosing the right location and time of day is key to capturing magical mermaid images. I will help choose a location in Galveston, Texas that will be the least busy so we don’t have onlookers or people in the background. Taking photos during golden hour, especially at the beach is very important. We will set our session start time based on sunset for the date of our portrait session in Galveston.

HAIDYN | AUSTIN SENIOR PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

Haidyn! First of all, let me start by saying I am obsessed with the name Haidyn for a girl. Absolutely love it. This young lady was as kind and enjoyable as she is beautiful. Haidyn, her Mom and I toured campus to get some shots with all of the gorgeous architecture, and then ended up in a field at an abandoned church. It didn’t look like much to the naked eye, but I knew come sunset, it would be magical. Thank goodness my clients trusted me!

Miss Haidyn had all the right wardrobe choices and her hair and makeup were perfection for photos. It also helped that she is super photogenic. I don’t think I took a single “bad” photo of her.

Haidyn is graduating from Hendrickson High School this Spring, and plans to go into nursing, hopefully something to do with babies. So sweet. Haidyn said she really loves school and is sad to see it come to an end… but if she goes into nursing I’m sure there will be a lot more school in her near future. She’s graduating after doing 4 years of cheer, and she also said that she can’t live without her family and dogs.

Best of luck in the future Haidyn! I know you’ll do great things.

JENNY & CHRIS #FOREVERJONESIN | AUSTIN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

Beautiful Jenny and Chris. To have the privilege of capturing their engagement session is beyond words. What an honor. I’ve known Jenny for almost 10 years. We served in ministry together for a long time, and I love her heart. And Chris… He just loves her so well. I cannot wait to see the things they do for the Kingdom together. They are the type of couple that people aspire to be, and the kind of individuals that people look up to and love to call their friend. I also had the honor of photographing their wedding in May, and I can’t wait to share some of the gorgeous moments from that day.

I don’t always have the words, so I thought it appropriate to steal a few from Chris himself about the day we spent shooing these images. “The process of taking our engagement pictures, and now getting to go through them, makes me more and more excited to marry this beautiful girl. There is so much beauty in her that no picture could capture, but I will forever look back on these moments and remember. The laughing, the preparation, the prayer, the waiting, and the undefiled joy that make up this season are more precious than anything. There will be no greater joy for me than to be your husband, Jenny. I love you 📷: @kimberlybrookephoto (you are awesome, thank you!!)”

OK, now I’m crying. Here are just a few favorites from this heartfelt session.

BABY ON THE WAY | AUSTIN MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY

Kate and Johnny are so excited to welcome their precious baby boy in a few weeks! And I can’t wait to meet him when I capture their newborn portraits. Here are just a few shots from their sweet maternity portrait session in South Austin. Doesn’t Kate look beautiful with that baby bump?

AUSTIN SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER | ANN ON SOUTH CONGRESS

Beautiful Ann came to me for Senior photos this Fall. October is one of my favorite times to do Senior Graduation Portraits in Austin, TX. The weather has started to cool, but the scenery is still alive and green. We had a great time bopping around South Congress and Zilker Park for her session. I love her joyful smile and kind heart. Congrats on this exciting time, Ann! Here are a few favorites from her Senior Portraits.
