Hockey on the Long Center Garage Rooftop | Austin Senior Photo Session
For this High School Senior Photo Session, the mom wanted to make sure to include some of her son’s hockey gear.
I thought this part of the Long Center Parking Garage looked a little like the glass walls of an ice skating rink.
After getting some skyline and hockey shots, we headed across the street to the trails along Lady Bird Lake.
If you live in Austin and are also interested in having a Photo Session in this part of town, check out my tips below.
Tips for Photo Sessions at the Long Center & Lady Bird Lake Trails:
- Check the Long Center Event calendar to see how crowded it will be (we talked about getting some photos in the rotunda after the parking garage – but a *large* group of students were taking prom photos – so we walked across the street instead)
- The roof of the Long Center Garage has great skyline views and is rarely crowded (I also like the colorful yellow and purple painted walls by the stairs / elevators)
- Be prepared to change outfits in your car since there isn’t a restroom nearby
- Have a “spotter” if taking photos in the middle of the trail so you can quickly get out of the way of any runners or bikers going by
- Plan on a dressier outfit for the downtown views, then switch to a more casual outfit for the park setting on Lady Bird Lake
