Seaholm District – Austin High School Senior Photos

Exploring Downtown Austin, Walking the Butterfly Bridge and Dealing with lots of wind

I always do a weather and text check-in with my High School Seniors (and their parent) the day of their photo session. This makes it easy for them to find my contact info in their phone if they have last-minute questions.

For this Senior, my day-of text message to them said “Pack a Hairbrush – it’s going to be windy!”

Thankfully, her mom was on hand to do hair touch-ups in the different spots we explored around the Seaholm District and Downtown Austin near the Central Library.

Some spots were definitely less windy than others – like this beautiful green ivy wall.

• It can get crowded with other photo sessions at peak times (weekend evenings in Spring and Fall) – so pick off times if possible.
• Garage parking is available at the Central Library or Trader Joe’s nearby (Trader Joe’s will validate your parking with purchase)
• Have a spotter when you’re taking photos on the Butterfly Bridge and be ready to get out of the way fast if cars are coming
• Make sure to capture the mix of greenery, artwork and industrial buildings
• If your clients need a place to change or restrooms, the Austin Central Library is right there (if your session is during their open hours)
• Make a plan to eat downtown after your session, there are lots of great restaurants within walking distance
