There is something so fun about photographing high school seniors!  It’s even more fun when its your cousin!  Tessa had been in the San Antonio area for FFA and decided to continue the drive up north to Austin so I could take her Senior Portraits.  She, by far, had the most extensive “session” that I’ve ever photographed.  Not only did we shoot three separate sessions, but one of them we spent close to three hours photographing all around Austin.  Here is a little peek at that session.

For the record, the next photo is what this alley really looked like.  We drove by it once and I turned  back to just see the blue wall with beautiful green vines.  When we circled back, there were some less than friendly looking people standing among the dumpsters that started to walk away as we got out of the car.  Looking at this space, most people would NOT shoot here.  However, the light was gorgeous and the turquoise-blue was an excellent color compliment to Tessa’s coral colored shirt.  I’m so glad Tessa trusted me enough to get out of the car so we could shoot here!

Our “plan” for this session was to head to downtown Austin and for Tessa to yell out when she saw anything that she liked.  We hit SoCo, the “Greetings from Austin” postcard off Annie, Red River, Rock Island in Zilker, the Botanical Garden gate, the State Capital, and a church.  Luckily, my sister was able to meet us down there and play chauffeur, since Austin has been her playground for years and she knows all the roads.

Stay tuned later this week for a peek at Tessa’s Carnival Senior Portrait Session!
