Power Plant photos, Power Picket posing, and Butterfly Bridge walking
This Family choose the Seaholm District in downtown Austin for their Winter Photo Session. You may recognize the oldest daughter from her recent Senior Photo Session.
I always like to meet outside of Trader Joes so we can start with the Power Plant building and then work our way over to the Power Picket colorful concrete pillars (made (by artists Nader Tehrani and Dan Gallagher of the art/architecture studio NADAAA).
Then we cross over the Butterfly Bridge, swing around to the ivy wall and end up back at Trader Joes for some shopping/parking validation. That’s my favorite photo route to take.
Tips for Family Photo Sessions in the Seaholm District
- PARKING: Garage parking is available at the Central Library or Trader Joes nearby (you can also use the restrooms at the library if they’re open)
- LOCATIONS: There’s a great variety of urban and nature backgrounds in a few block radius. Make sure you take advantage of all the different backdrops available.
- TRAFFIC: This area is very popular, so expect other photo shoots to be happening at the same time and take your turn in front of popular spots. You will also have literal car traffic going across the Butterfly Bridge, so be careful when photographing there.

What prompted you to have this photo session? We have not done a family photo for YEARS, and wanted to have a current one.
What do you plan to do with your digital photos? We will get some photos printed for our family, and we may use some for a holiday card. We will probably post on social media. It’s just awesome to have so many digital photos to choose from at the end of a session!
How did you choose your location for your session? We love the Seaholm district and the downtown vibe!
What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session? Don’t stress about family outfit coordination. Follow Stephanie’s advice and have everyone choose what they want to wear so that everyone is happy.
Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography? Stephanie is so amazing! She’s very professional, yet very fun to work with. She makes everyone feel like a model! I love that she’s so quick in getting the gallery ready, yet all the photos are edited and gorgeous.
