These senior photos in Downtown Austin are worthy of obsession! We may have had to get up at the butt crack of dawn to escape the crowds and endless flow of cars, but it.was.worth.it!

Senior Portraits

Growing up is a big deal. Change is scary. Especially when you love high school and kind of never want to leave. Such is the case with Allie. However, despite not quite feeling ready for this change, she has big plans: she’s going to school to be a cosmetologist. If you can’t tell, she has a passion for hair. Her dream is to become the best hair colorist/expert in Austin, Texas! And so in the fall, she’ll start school to do just that!

But before she takes that giant leap to jumpstart her future, she wanted senior photos taken to document this time in her life. So we woke up before the sunrise to start at the Butterfly Bridge in downtown Austin. If you’ve ever been to this part of the city, you know it’s a road well-traveled. It’s always bustling with cars and people … even in the early hours. However, it’s much more manageable when most people are still asleep.

We started shooting in between cars passing by, with Allie’s mom and dad always on the lookout for traffic. I really wish we had some behind the scenes footage of this 😂

Then we headed off to the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge for more photos (and to watch the sun finally rise between the clouds)!

Congratulations to Allie on taking this big step towards her future and thank you for choosing me to photograph your senior photos in Downtown Austin!
