Viva Gullett Winner – Family Photo Session

by admin | Oct 16, 2023 | family, photography

“The best things in life are the people you love, the places you go, and the memories you make.”

This year’s Viva Gullett Auction winning family redeemed their prize with a fall photo session at their extended family’s farm in Dripping Springs, Texas.

We made sure to take photos under the tree where this Mom & Dad got married.

And also took photos with the kids’ sporting equipment, the family dog, and all around the farm. Please check out some of my favorite images below and contact me if you’d like to book your own photo session this year.

2. How did you choose your location for your session? We chose a location dear to our hearts where our kids would feel comfortable and relaxed taking photos.

3. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session? Take Stephanie’s advice and suggestions, she’s the best!

Blanton Museum Courtyard – Family Photo Session

by admin | Aug 5, 2023 | family, photography

Summer morning portrait session on the University of Texas campus

This summer, the Blanton Museum completed their courtyard renovation. The 200,000 square feet of grounds now have new architectural, artistic and landscape features.

Among them are the The Petals. When I was on campus this past Spring for a mini-branding photo session, I saw these giant sculptures going up. Once I saw them, I knew I wanted them as a backdrop for a photo session. I could imagine the light streaming down and casting different shadow patterns.

I also knew I’d want to use the Verde que te quiero verde (Green How I Want You Green) loggia mural by Carmen Herrera for a photo session as well. I’m a sucker for a bright and geometric mural.

Keep the Blanton Museum Courtyard in mind if you’re searching for a family photo session location for yourself.

1. What did you like about your family photo session location?

It was a great location. Convenient for parking, and there were plenty of interesting and colorful backgrounds available.

2. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session in the summer?

Bring water and sunglasses for between pictures.

4. Anything else you’d like to add?

Stephanie knows what she is doing! She had the poses and locations planned out, but also improvised based on conditions. She made us feel really comfortable, and we had a great time with the pictures!

Holiday at Home – Christmas Photo Session

by admin | Dec 30, 2022 | family, photography

Since this family just moved into their new custom house, it only made sense to have their Christmas photo session at home. From cozy pajamas by the fire, to eating Christmas cookies to decking out the tree and opening presents under it, we covered all the highlights of the season.

From Live Oak Meadow to Kingsbury Commons – Pease Park Family Photo Session

by admin | Dec 23, 2022 | family, photography

If you have active kids who are happiest exploring – do I have a family photo location for you…

It’s Pease Park in Central Austin. For this fun family, we started in the Live Oak Meadow climbing trees, then went to explore the creek (hopping rock to rock), and ended up in the Treehouse at Kingsbury Commons. The rope net can act as a trampoline. Then I went home, and they stayed at the playground to finish out their visit.

Please check out some of my favorite images below and contact me if you’d like to book your own photo session this year.

Waterloo Greenway Park – Holiday Family Photo Session

by admin | Dec 2, 2022 | family, photography

Waterloo Greenway Park is one of my most favorite locations for portrait sessions. You get the great architecture as well as the beautiful gardens – which seem to bloom all year round. If you haven’t visited yet – they have so many events to enjoy. I look forward to seeing what their Phase 2 construction brings in 2023. I expect many more photogenic backdrops 🙂

Please enjoy some favorites from this Family Photo Session at the park below. Full gallery (password protected) available HERE.

Mayfield Park Trails – Family Photo Session

by admin | Nov 30, 2022 | family, photography

If you’d like a photo location that’s centrally located, has parking, shady trails and views of the water – check out the Mayfield Reserve Trails. It’s located right next to Mayfield Park (Mayfield Park requires a permit and a location fee – but it’s free to take photos along the Trails).

Your kids will be able to climb trees and hike along the rocky paths. And then you can check out the flock of roaming peacocks next door after your photo session.

Please enjoy some favorites from this Family Photo Session on the Mayfield Park Trails below.
