The newly renovated courtyard at the Blanton Museum in Austin, TX
This summer, the new grounds were completed at the Blanton Museum on the University of Texas campus in Austin. The renovation included new artwork, landscaping and sculptures.
The space also makes for many excellent, colorful backdrops for a family photo session (fun fact: it’s where we had our own family pictures taken this year).
Please check out some of my favorite images below and contact me if you’d like to book your own family photo session.
If you’d like to also check out the artwork inside, the Blanton Museum is open Tuesday-Sunday and has more than 21,000 pieces in its collection.
1. What prompted you to have this photo session?
We hadn’t done family photos in a year and a half and our daughter is 5 and just started kindergarten, so a lot has changed! We wanted to capture this ‘big growth’ time of our family.
2. How did you choose your location for your session?
We thought we should choose something different this year and really liked the designs and colors around the museum- It worked out great!
3. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session?
Last time I was so unnecessarily worried about picking out the right clothes and such and I didn’t want to do that again. So I picked out clothes we had and didn’t sweat it and everything felt way more natural and comfortable. I bet that shows in our pictures too.
4. Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography?
This was our second photo shoot with Stephanie and I’m so glad to have found her and got a slot with her again! She has a fantastic eye and is thoughtful, adaptable, and efficient working with families.
