Tallest mural in Austin, skyline views and blue walls
The last time this family was in front of my camera was in the Seaholm District for a holiday photo session.
This year, the mom picked a different downtown location, the tallest mural in Austin, Tau Ceti, and the next door garage’s rooftop.
The Austin Convention Center parking garage rooftop has great downtown skyline views as well as some colorful blue corners.
Tips for Photo Sessions at the Tau Ceti Mural and Rooftop next door
- Lots of folks will be taking photos in front of the Tau Ceti mural – be ready to wait your turn (and then go quickly if other people are waiting)
- For the mural – shoot wide and get back to ensure more colors are viewable in your image
- Then go to the Convention Center garage next door and take the elevator up to the roof
- There may be other photo sessions up there – but it’s a large space with a variety of backgrounds (the buildings look best at sunset)
- Encourage your clients to go eat nearby at the Fareground Food Hall after their session

Please check out some of my favorite images below and contact me if you’d like to book your own photo session.
1. What prompted you to have this photo session? We do family sessions every year. For the last 4 years we have hired Stephanie, and she makes it so easy – scheduling, picking a location, sending me parking directions, it’s all so seamless . She even makes my (sometimes high strung) family feel relaxed.
2. How did you choose your location for your session? Always look to Stephanie for advice on locations. Some years we want nature settings, some years we want something more urban, but this year I could not pass up the Tau Ceti Mural. The vibrant colors are what hooked me.
3. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session? I like to pick a location, and then my outfit, and then the rest of the families. I aim to be coordinated, but not too matchy.
4. Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography? If you don’t already, follow her instagram! Not only does she post fun things to do around Austin, you can get a behind the scenes peek at what it takes to make photo sessions work, from location hunting, constantly monitoring the crazy Texas weather, and all the editing that makes the pictures look perfect.
