by admin | Mar 30, 2023 | photography, seniors

Seaholm / Butterfly Bridge District Photos in Downtown Austin, TX

This Class of 2023 High School Senior (and future LSU Tiger) chose the dowtown Seaholm district for her location.

Please enjoy some of my favorite images from her Senior Photo session below and contact me if you’d like to book your own session.

1. What prompted you to have this photo session? To capture a time in Elle’s life.

2. How did you choose your location for your session? We considered several locations. And decided on a location that best captured Austin, Texas.

3. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session? Pick a location and outfits that best reflect yourself. Also consider the time of year, as Elle’s session was in March and in the early evening and it was warm.

4. Anything else you’d like to add? Stephanie was great and very prepared and efficient.

McKinney Falls State Park – Senior Photo Session

Hiking at McKinney Falls for Senior Photos

This Class of 2023 High School Senior (and future University of Texas Longhorn) chose McKinney Falls State Park for his location.

He used to hike there a lot as a kid with his grandparents. In fact, his mom even brought his baby hiking boots to show the passage of time.

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

1. What prompted you to have this photo session? Jake’s a senior, and it was time to schedule his senior pictures.

2. How did you choose your location for your session? We had a few options we were considering, and you were super helpful in throwing out some ideas. Ultimately, Jake decided on McKinney Falls because he’s spent so much time there over the years, and it’s such a gorgeous location.

3. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session? For senior pictures in general, consider a location that’s meaningful to your senior, and if you’re stuck, Stephanie has a lot of ideas – take advantage of her creativity! For McKinney Falls specifically, it’s important to consider where wardrobe changes will happen. It’s a bit of a trek back to the car, so consider how you’d like to manage that.

4. Anything else you’d like to add? Ever since Stephanie shot our family holiday pictures 10+ years ago, I’ve known I was going to ask her to shoot Jake’s senior pictures. I appreciated how easy it was to book the session, as well as the timely updates and reminders about the session. Stephanie was fantastic during the shoot, too, creating a relaxed atmosphere that enabled Jake’s to shine.

Austin Central Library – Senior & Family Photo Session

by admin | Mar 17, 2023 | photography, seniors

Exploring the Downtown Central Library

This Class of 2023 Senior Photo Session included a family add-on. So, we switched between individual photos, family pairings and the whole group as we explored the downtown Austin Central Library and surrounding Seaholm area.

My favorite spots we shot in include the Children’s Reading Porch, the two-story colorful Susan Scafati artwork in the windows, and the Library rooftop garden. If you’re interested in having your own portrait session at the Austin Central Library, there is a small location fee.

I also love the Power Picket, by artists Nader Tehrani and Dan Gallagher outside with all the colorful green, blue, orange and gray columns.

1. What prompted you to have this photo session? The need for senior photos and new family photos.

2. How did you choose your location for your session? Our family loves the library so the beautiful downtown Austin library location seemed like a perfect location.

3. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session? Be thinking of ways to make your kids laugh or smile. Otherwise, Stephanie provided so many tips and tricks that we felt very prepared.

4. Anything else you’d like to add? Stephanie did a great wrangling our family to do the photo shoot in a variety of different locations and fun photo positions. We had natural green-space backgrounds as well as urban. The whole experience was so much fun! I am really blessed that Stephanie captured this valuable time in my family’s lives.

Austin Senior Photo Session at Red Bud Isle

When your Class of 2023 Senior requests Fall Color – you go explore Austin to check out your favorite past spots. We chose Red Bud Isle for her location which had some beautiful yellow, red and orange trees along the water. Known as a dog park with a small parking lot, we had the place almost to ourselves on a cool Tuesday morning over Thanksgiving break.

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