Class of 2024 High School Senior + Family Portrait Session in the Park
This Senior + Family Photo Session combination took place at the tail end of wildflower season at Mueller Southwest Greenway in mid-May.
For this High School Senior, we got photos in his cap and gown as well as his future alma mater t-shirt.
If you’re also interested in having your Senior Photo Session at the Butterfly Gardens in Mueller Southwest Greenway, check out my essential tips below.
Tips for Senior Photo Sessions at the Mueller Southwest Greenway:
- These sessions work best at golden hour (about 1-2 hours before sunset)
- Wear closed-toed shoes or boots since the grass gets pretty high at peak wildflower season
- Keep an eye out for bugs, reptiles and other creatures among the fields (we had to move one turtle safely out of the way to get my cart through the walking path to the pond)
- Plan to meet at the Butterfly Garden’s Rocket Ship (an excellent landmark meeting spot)
- There is no restroom nearby, so be prepared to change outfits in your car
- Wildflower season lasts from March – May in a good year

- What prompted you to have this photo session?My mom wanted to have nice photos.
- What do you plan to do with your digital photos? I plan to use them for a “Class of 2028” post for UTSA and also just photos that I can refer to in the future.
- How did you choose your location for your session? I personally think Mueller is one of the prettiest neighborhoods in Austin and it is one I’ve become very familiar with (although that said i didn’t choose the location).
- What advice would you give to others planning a similar Senior photo session? It‘s hard to make advice for other families because every family has a unique dynamic. That being said do not be afraid to show those parts of who you or your family are (even though I was).
- Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography? There isn’t much I can say that other people haven’t said. She is a true professional in her field and highly proficient at what she does while also being extraordinarily thoughtful and kind.
