“Mad Matter: “Have I gone mad?”
Alice: “I’m afraid so. You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.” – Lewis Carroll
Five years ago, she was the Red Queen at the Zilker Botanical Gardens. When she decided on the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland for this year’s Halloween Costume – it only made sense to go back to the Gardens.
With a vintage tea set and accessories (and keeping out of the way of the wedding, quinceanara and homecoming photos also happening that night), we explored the grounds and had our own tea party.

This Halloween photo session is one of my favorite yearly events. From discussing props to choosing the most appropriate location to embracing the character, it’s always a lot of fun.
And I got to bring a few favorite tea cups from home to lend to the shoot.
Please check out some of my favorite images below and contact me if you’d like to book your own photo session this year.
