Butler Park in South Austin | High School Senior Photos
I last saw this High School Senior for his family’s yearly holiday photo session in the Blanton Museum Courtyard.
For his Senior Year photos, he requested a mix of urban and nature. So, we met up at Butler Park in South Austin.
He also brought his guitar for some photos.
