Now booking spring 2026. To provide a high level signature experience I only accept up to five portrait sessions per month for San Antonio, Boerne, & the surrounding Hill Country.

The ARP Experience

Designed for your legacy.

Whether you’re capturing the essence of your high school senior’s final year or preserving the beauty of your family’s current chapter, I recognize the significance of these portraits. My mission is to tailor each photography session to your individual vision, providing you with timeless and stunning printed artwork.

To ensure that I deliver the highest quality service and attention to detail to every family, I only accept up to 5 sessions per month.

01. The Session Fee

The session fee secures your portrait session and encompasses the time, talent, and preparation that goes into creating your unique gallery.

High School Senior Portraits │ $250

(Currently booking seniors 2 months in advance for Spring/Fall sessions.)

Family, Beauty, & Glamour Portraits │ $350

What’s Included:

Professional Styling: One-on-one planning for wardrobe, location, and vision.
The Session: A relaxed and unhurried custom portrait session.
The Reveal: A private, guided appointment to select your portraits.

(Note: Prints, products, and digital files are purchased separately during your Reveal Appointment.)

02. Reveal & Ordering

About two weeks after your session, we will meet for your Reveal Appointment. This is the most exciting part of the process! You will see your images for the first time in a cinematic presentation.

I sit down with you through the selection process, helping you choose the images you love most and designing custom wall art, heirloom albums, or folio boxes that fit your home perfectly. You can browse the Heirloom Product Catalog here to see the possibilities.

03. Your Investment

While there is no minimum spend, most families choose an investment averaging between $900 and $2,500 on their portraits beyond the initial session fee, with some larger collections ranging upwards of $4,000+.

Portrait Collections: Start at $795.
Digital files: A matching Social Media Digital File is included with every heirloom portrait purchased, perfect for sharing with friends and family online.

Beyond the Digital File: Creating Tangible Art for Your Home

Too often, your portraits end up as files lost somewhere on a flash drive collecting digital dust. That's not what I want for you!

Your portraits should be more than temporary- more than an annual memory on your social media feed- they should be artwork that you can physically touch and experience every day. Artwork that reminds you of this exact moment of your life and that you and your family will cherish for years.

That's why I've built this process the way I have; differently than most: to make portraits personal again, and for you to walk away from the whole experience with something lasting.

Because I handle every aspect of your session, from styling to custom wall art design, availability is strictly limited. Please contact me as early as possible to secure your date on the calendar.

Every session begins with a conversation.

In Their Words...

Ms. Melania V., San Antonio

"Working with Amado was a great experience. He’s extremely talented and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. Few photographers have this style—if you want your portraits to look like a fine art oil painting, he should be your guy!"

Mrs. Lorena P.

"Words could not ever express how amazed we were with our daughter's senior pictures! Absolutely worth EVERY penny! Thank you so much!"

Mrs. Jessica P.

"Loved the photos Amado took of our family! He is very professional and made the process so fun and easy. We will definitely use him again for our future sessions!"
