Austin Portrait Design Blog bio picture

Welcome to our Blog!

Austin Portrait Design is owned and operated by Allen and Diane Austin in the historic village of Appomattox, Virginia. We started this photo-blog in late 2009 as a place to showcase some of our favorite images and let you know what's going on at the studio. Most of these images come from client sessions, but many were made for our own personal enjoyment.

Allen has enjoyed creating art through photography for over 30 years. In 1994 we built our studio and went from making photography a weekend business to a full-time career.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments to share.
