I met up with this sweet family at the Barton Hills Farms Pumpkin Patch for their Fall photos. The Farm’s Fall Festival runs through November 15th if you want a chance to visit yourselves. You can go through the corn maze, pick out a pumpkin for carving and let your kids explore. You can read about the Farm’s Covid-19 policies here.
Some favorite pictures from their session are below. Full gallery (password protected) available here.
1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?
This is our third family photo session with Stephanie and she makes it fun and creative, while capturing amazing images.
2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?
Meeting at Barton Hills Farm allowed for great fall scenes and candid shots of the kiddos playing with pumpkins and in the corn maze.
3. What advice would you give to other people planning a branding session?
Trust Stephanie to frame flattering shots and to make it entertaining for the littles. She is a master!
I met up with this family at the Woodbine Mansion. In case you’re not familiar with that location, it’s a Victorian Mansion situated in downtown Round Rock right off Main Street.
For their holiday photo session, we started outside taking photos on the porch and landscaped grounds.
Then we explored the gazebo and lawn.
Next we made our way inside to appreciate all the different room settings. Their red velvet couch was definitely a favorite.
Finally we headed upstairs for even more rooms to see.
What a beautiful location – full of photogenic spots! You can see some of the location scouting pics I took with my phone below to get a better sense of all this venue has to offer.
I hope you’ve enjoyed these sneak peeks from their family photo session at the Woodbine Mansion. To see all the (password protected) images, visit their gallery HERE.
1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?
Stephanie has been taking family photos since my daughter was an infant.
2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?
I greatly appreciate the pre-planning. Each year, I come to Stephanie with my daughter’s Halloween costume idea and she scouts multiple locations that would lend for the most realistic portrayals of the alter-ego. She encourages my kid to be a kid, with pretty shots, funny shots, and dancing shots so it doesn’t feel like a stuffy photo shoot (like you would get in a mall).
3. What advice would you give to other families planning a photo session?
We combine our Halloween and Christmas photo shoots (with a quick change in between). With a slightly longer session, you can get two amazing sets of photos for family and friends!
4. Anything else you’d like to add?
Every year I believe she has outdone herself and yet every year she pulls off photographic magic and delivers the most stunning images, themed to my daughter’s crazy imagination.

I met up with this family and their sweet dog for a downtown family photo session. We started at the Seaholm Power Plant. Then we explored our way around the Butterfly Bridge and Central Library block.

Friend’s referral
2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?
The organization! I loved that during this hectic time I didn’t have to worry about logistics. Stephanie had it all covered and was a benevolent director of the entire experience for my “all over the place” family and dog.
3. What advice would you give to other families planning a photo session?
Just read what Stephanie sends you and try not to overthink anything. If you’re like me take this short time to be in the moment and just enjoy your family. Let the professional give directions for a change. Your kid(s) will listen to a pro better anyway, right? Mine kind of did… and when my daughter or dog were all over the place it may have provided the most real content to capture.
4. Anything else you’d like to add?
Bring treats for your dog… And if your kid/dog are easily distracted, use the fart machine.

I met up with this family on Rock Rose Ave. at the Domain. We wandered among the holiday shoppers stopping at all the fun storefronts (and store-sides).
PS. Photo sessions at the Domain do need location permission ahead of time

1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?
I have known Stephanie for a long time when I used to work with her picking out photos for math textbooks! We have been photographed by Stephanie for the last 5 years!
2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?
Love seeing the different locations and what she has in store!
3. What advice would you give to other families planning a photo session?
Let Stephanie know any special requests you might have. We bring the dog every year, and she is more than accommodating with him. And he’s an old grump!
4. Anything else you’d like to add?
The weather never cooperates, but enjoy, it’s fun!

Are you familiar with the Sekrit Theater? It’s a space on the Eastside of Austin, available to rent for photo sessions, filled with magical spots – from their greenhouse to a vintage Ford truck to various modes of transportation to explore (school bus, airstream trailer, bikes and more).
The kids were excited to run from spot to spot around the property – and we still didn’t get to everything.
And you have to tell someone a secret at Sekrit Theater, right?
And then you can pretend to ride motorcycles…
And share a bike with your brother…
Then climb through some windows…
To be back where you started at the Greenhouse.
