Where We Are Located

Fun Prints Photography is located in Austin, Texas, off Loop 360, a few miles from Barton Creek Mall, in the home studio of photographer Deanna Roy.  You will receive complete directions when you make an appointment.

Scheduling a Sitting

Appointments are required and can usually be scheduled a few days or a week or so in advance. Christmas appointments, however, should be made by mid-November to ensure a spot will be available. You may email Deanna or call (512) 347-0081 to schedule a sitting.

You can stay up to date on Deanna's specials by joining the mailing list. It has a safe unsubscribe feature so you can take yourself off the list at any time. (I try not to get too wordy--I send about 10 emails a year, almost all of which will include a lesson on how to take better pictures with your own camera.)

How We Operate

Each portrait sitting takes about an hour. Parents may choose as many outfits or backdrops as we can get in before your child is done!

Typically we will begin with the most important pose. Children usually take their best pictures in the first 15 minutes before they get bored with their surroundings. We will move through poses, pausing for breaks for the baby to explore, get calm, or have a snack.

Once the photo session is over, the parents will view all the pictures and choose the poses they want on the proof sheet to take home with them, and which to order for portraits. Portraits take 7 to 10 days to arrive.

Corporate headshots take about an hour from the start of the shoot to handing you a retouched image on CD.

Location Sittings

Fun Prints often schedules sittings at many other locations around town. With these sittings, you will receive a proof portfolio to order from. Costumes and digital work are not usually combined with outdoor portraits unless I am having a special just for that purpose.

Tips for a Successful Sitting

Realize that we have seen it all--temper tantrums, toddlers that run all over the room, babies that won't give up the pacifier, parents who are tired and worried that we think they're bad parents, and everything in between. Deanna has never had a session that did not result in pictures, and we do whatever it takes to get a nice set of poses. Here are some things to keep in mind:

For toddlers and older babies

For little babies
