This stunning young lady is my best friend's daughter who is about to graduate from high school in a couple of months. I have known her since she was in elementary school and it is just amazing (and, honestly, a little shocking) to be taking her senior portraits.
We had a fun time the morning we did these and I will miss her when she heads off to college in a few months.
I love you, pretty girl!
It was a chilly and rather rainy morning on the Sunday we did this session, but we decided to go ahead and do it anyway. I am really glad we did. While it drizzled on us quite a bit, it really didn't stop us from getting the shots.
I had a great time hanging out with this senior and am sure she will do great things! We went to the Driskill Hotel, UT, Guadalupe north of campus and Mayfield Park.
Another great high school senior session! I just love doing senior sessions! Once again on SoCo and downtown and Mayfield Park. This beautiful young woman was a pleasure to photograph and get to know!
Senior Session=awesome! Love them!
I will say it again....I love Senior Sessions. They are always fun and this was no exception!
It was so, so cold and windy the morning I did this session. What a sport this Senior was during the session!! I really enjoyed gettng to kow her and It was nice that we had her sweet mom with us!
This young lady was a pleasure to photograph and hang out with. So smart and funny...and of course, beautiful. So.......Anne Hatheway or Liv Tyler?? I kept going back and forth between them when I was photographing her and processing them later. Ultimately, I think she's prettier than either of them!
This is going to be a long post as it's truly my first full-blow Senior Session for this year. The point is really to show how much variety is involved in a Senior Session. There is lots of moving around from location to location and lots of outfit changes. They are, I think, my favorite type of session!

All my sessions start early (7:30 a.m.) on either Saturday or Sunday morning to get the great morning light and to get the session done before we get harsh mid-day sun. This gorgeous young woman was an absolute dream to shoot! Beautiful, kind and smart! What a combination!
This session started on South Congress in front of the Hotel San Jose.
We then moved further south down South Congress. We started in front of Big Top Candy Shop and then walked around down in that general area for the following shots.
The next set was done at the John Bremond, Jr. Home in downtown Austin. It is where the Texas Classroom Teachers Association has their offices. Gorgeous piece of property and I was thrilled to shoot there.
Also, this senior is a big reader and golfer so she brought her club and some books that have a special meaning to her.
We then moved on to Mayfield Park for a while. It was getting hotter and brighter by this time, so it was great to be in a nice shaded area.
We ended the day at the barn where she used to ride horses when she was younger. Overall, it was an exceptionally nice day for early September!
South Congress session with this lovely young lady. You may remember her from a few posts back as well. This lucky girl got to do a session at Laguna Gloria and an urban session on SoCo. Just love photographing her! These were all shot with a Nikon D700 and 85mm f/1.8, which was a sweet lens on the D700. (Thanks, Joey!)
I had a great time going down to 6th street and various other downtown locations with this amazing young man. We started on Congress just south of the Capital and then to 4th street, the Paramount, 6th street, the skyline from Riverside and a quick one with the old power plant in the background.
We hopped in and out of the car at places we thought looked interesting and had various other parking adventures. A great way to spend a Sunday morning!
