Laguna Gloria – Quinceañera Photo Session
Laguna Gloria Villa + Gardens | Austin Quinceañera Photo Session
For this Quinceañera + Extended Family Photo Session, we met at The Contemporary Austin – Laguna Gloria in Central Austin.
We took photos inside the Driscoll Villa and on the grounds. Her family was on hand to be in photos and to help make sure she and her dress were always looking the best.
If you live in Austin and are also interested in having a Photo Session in this location, check out my tips below.
Tips for Photo Sessions at the Contemporary Austin / Laguna Gloria:
- A location fee and advance bookings are required for any formal portrait sessions taken there
- Check out their photography guidelines and current fees
- Know that they may book multiple photographers during the same time period, so have several spots in mind for backdrops in case someone else is where you want to be first
- The Museum is only open late on Thursdays, so if you want “golden hour” aim for that day
- There are two restrooms available for outfit changes

- What prompted you to have this photo session? Our daughter had a quinceañera last year but we never got really great photos of her in her dress. We wanted to capture her at this age in that gorgeous dress and also wanted to have some great photos with the family as a keepsake.
- What do you plan to do with your digital photos? I’d like to have a few printed out and shared with the family and to display in our home. I’ll also probably put the best prints in an album to keep for our family.
- How did you choose your location for your session? Our daughter loves Mayfield Park, and when we found out it was unavailable, Stephanie provided a list of alternate locations. Laguna Gloria is right next to Mayfield and when I looked at the pics online I knew it was just what we were looking for. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous.
- What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session? Consider bringing a pair of walking shoes to get from spot to spot! Also, double-check the weather and be prepared for hot or cold. 🙂 Most importantly, have fun with the session.
- Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography? Stephanie was fantastic to work with! She sent over super helpful info ahead of time so everyone knew what to expect, and it made a big difference. She clearly has a great vision and did an awesome job guiding the shoot while keeping everything organized and on track.
