The Latest News
1/28/12: I want to give all of the glory to God right now. He is responsible for everything we have received. Everything. Just as we had prayed for it, our faith has grown incredibly over the past year. What an amazing time to get to reach out to people from our blog to encourage them about our Lord and Savior whose love for us is immeasurable! I intend to do this even more in 2012 to show the world where our joy comes from. If you pray to get closer to God this year, be prepared to experience His love like never before.
Congratulations, Newly Engaged Lovelies!! Yay! It seems like everyone is getting engaged lately, and we are very excited to start hearing from all of you who are new "fiancés"! Just as a reminder: If you have previously contacted us about a date, we only hold dates with the contract and wedding deposit. The first person who submits their contract and deposit will receive that date, and if your date is available today, it is not guaranteed to be available tomorrow. We aren't able to keep up with the status of each inquiry and only record our booked weddings when it comes to holding dates, so please keep this in mind so that you can get the photographer you want (This would be us. Obviously ;).
2012 Weddings: now! We REALLY want to be your photographers {ESPECIALLY if you read our blog}. We are booking weddings at about a year in advance right now, but we DO still have openings in 2012 (definitely contact us, even if your wedding is sooner than a year away!). Remember: we won't tell if you don't have the ring yet. Heehee....
Schedule Your Spring Portraits Now: The remainder of the spring (March-May) is being booked right now for engagement/bridal portraits, and newborn/baby portraits are scheduled around the baby's birth (however, book as soon as possible for newborn portraits so that we can keep openings in our schedule around your baby's birth).
Our Work
Hello there.
Thank you for visiting our blog. I am Lauren Aves, and my husband Will and I are Aves Photographic Design. About a year ago, we moved our studio to 4909 Camp Bowie Blvd in Fort Worth, TX, (soon after which our photography business sort-of exploded; yay! This is only thanks to our God and Savior for giving us EVERYTHING; it's so obvious-how could I not state it before?), and we love our home in Dallas/Fort Worth.
Contact us if you have any questions at all. We love new ideas, and we are so blessed to be able to work with people who really "get" the kind of work we do. We can't wait to meet you. Thank you all for this enormous blessing, and stay beautiful! Lauren and Will
Now scroll down for the REAL stories! Bookmark us and check back often.
Portrait Availability: Due to our weekend wedding schedule, we only accept portrait sessions on weekdays. We keep all upcoming weekends open for weddings and the events that surround them. Our portrait schedule books up at around 4-6 weeks out (further in advance for popular portrait times of the year like October and March), so we recommend that you schedule your session as soon as you have decided you would like us as your photographers in order to have the best selection of dates you desire.
