If you want a colorful variety of backgrounds for your family photo session – head to North Austin. The Domain shopping center (Rock Rose Ave. in particular) has what you need. Keep in mind it’s extra busy with shoppers on the weekend – but if you park in the garages on the outskirts, you’ll be fine.

Still wondering what to expect from this location? Check out the pics from this fun family below:

That street has become one of my favorite urban spots in North Austin – so many different murals and scenes to choose from.

But you can also find patches of green to enjoy as well.

And we can’t forget my favorite purple window coverings (I’ll be sad when an actual store opens in this spot and my pretty background goes away).

Thanks for walking around with me 🙂


I hope you’ve enjoyed these sneak peeks from their family photo session at the Domain. To see all the (password protected) images, visit their gallery HERE.

1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?

Stephanie and I met 8 years ago when we moved in a few doors down from her. Since then, we have done 4 sessions with her…two family photo sessions, a best friend session with my daughter and her bestie and a branding shoot with my real estate colleagues.

2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?

Every time I have worked with Stephanie, she makes us feel so relaxed in front of the camera. From making us act silly, to posing us perfectly, to the fart machine to make my kids laugh.

3. What advice would you give to other families planning a photo session?

Don’t stress about the shoot or over think it. Stephanie makes it so easy. She has several blog posts on location ideas that are really helpful. Stuck on outfit choices? She always has great recommendations. Grumpy kids? She can handle that (the fart machine was a hit with my kids). Sweaty faces? She comes prepared with blotting sheets and a fan. She has an eye for perfect backdrops and makes everyone look their best.

4. Anything else you’d like to add?

Smile big ? and enjoy it. The family having fun will show through in the photos.
