Summer morning portrait session on the University of Texas campus
This summer, the Blanton Museum completed their courtyard renovation. The 200,000 square feet of grounds now have new architectural, artistic and landscape features.
Among them are the The Petals. When I was on campus this past Spring for a mini-branding photo session, I saw these giant sculptures going up. Once I saw them, I knew I wanted them as a backdrop for a photo session. I could imagine the light streaming down and casting different shadow patterns.
I also knew I’d want to use the Verde que te quiero verde (Green How I Want You Green) loggia mural by Carmen Herrera for a photo session as well. I’m a sucker for a bright and geometric mural.
Keep the Blanton Museum Courtyard in mind if you’re searching for a family photo session location for yourself.
Please check out some of my favorite images from this Family Portrait session below and contact me if you’d like to book your own photo session.
1. What did you like about your family photo session location?
It was a great location. Convenient for parking, and there were plenty of interesting and colorful backgrounds available.
2. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session in the summer?
Bring water and sunglasses for between pictures.
4. Anything else you’d like to add?
Stephanie knows what she is doing! She had the poses and locations planned out, but also improvised based on conditions. She made us feel really comfortable, and we had a great time with the pictures!
