“If you really want to get along with somebody, let them be themselves.” – Willie Nelson
This family wanted the backdrop of South Congress Avenue murals for their photo session.
We met at Jo’s Coffee Shop for the iconic “I love you so much” mural first and then made our way up and down the street.
I had done location scouting ahead of time since there are so many great backgrounds to choose from in this one small part of Austin.
The night of their session, the mom let me know which spots were their favorites so we could focus on those in our time together. See if you can spot which ones we used. And the one I’d missed that she suggested.
Please check out some of my favorite images below and contact me if you’d like to book your own family photo session.































1. What prompted you to have this photo session? It’s a new tradition (2nd year in a row), documenting the life of me with my two daughters. I love having beautiful photos that reflect our family as my girls grow.
2. How did you choose your location for your session? We live in the South Congress neighborhood, so it felt fun and right to incorporate murals that we see all the time, and that reflect our fun neighborhood in Austin.
3. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session? Trust Stephanie! She is the most organized and thoughtful, and is such a delight to work with.
4. Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography? I’m always impressed by the creativity and vision that Stephanie possesses.
