Graduating from Texas State in San Marcos | College Senior Photo Session
Since this Senior Photo Session was my first time on the Texas State University campus in San Marcos, I did a few extra things to prepare.
First, I did online research to see the most popular and photogenic spots on campus. Second, I talked to a teacher who works there for tips on parking and logistics. Third, I made sure to get some scouting in first.
See if you can match up the locations above to the final pictures in the gallery below.

Tips for Senior Photo Sessions on the Texas State campus:
- There are lots of great spots on campus we can explore, but expect some lines during peak times of the year at the Arch and in front of the TXST letters
- Make sure to iron your gown and stole before your session
- Bring champagne if you’d like to get some celebration shots popping it
- Remember that “glitter is litter” and is forbidden on campus
- It’s a lot of hills and stairs to get around campus, bring comfortable shoes to wear between locations
- Be ready to show your Bobcat claws
