Art on campus, bright colors and exploring the Capitol Mall grounds
The last time I photographed this family, we went to Waterloo Greenway Park for a fall photo session.
This year, we went to the University of Texas, Blanton Museum Courtyard area. I love the vibrant colors – especially the greens and yellows we used as backdrops.
Tips for Photo Sessions around the Blanton Museum
- Make sure to check the Blanton Museum events calendar before you book and the University of Texas home football game schedule
- Garage parking is available at the Brazos Garage on MLK next door
- The Museum is closed on Mondays – so the area is the least crowded then (or go when the University of Texas students are on a school break)
- Let your clients know how colorful the backdrops are if they want to go vibrant with their outfits
- If you want to take any photos inside the Museum, permission is required

Please check out some of my favorite images below and contact me if you’d like to book your own photo session.
1. What prompted you to have this photo session? Each fall, we schedule family photo session with Stephanie for our holiday cards. Our son went to preschool with Stephanie’s sons and she’s been taking our pictures since he was 3.
2. How did you choose your location for your session? Stephanie always has great suggestions – we try to alternate outdoorsy and more urban locations. Stephanie suggested the Blanton and it was perfect!
3. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session? Go with the flow. Our now 13-year old who was always happy to smile for the pictures and was incredibly easy at photo sessions. This year, he was definitely 13 and only giving us occasional half-smiles, but Stephanie was wonderful about it. I am sure I will look back at this year’s photos and remember the struggle that was age 13. 
4. Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography?We LOVE taking our annual pictures with Stephanie! She’s the best.
