“The sun at home warms better than the sun elsewhere.” – Albanian Proverb
This Austin family recently built a new house (which helps when one of the parents is an Architect) and wanted to use it as the location for their holiday photo session.

There were no shortages of great backdrops in the front, back and side of this stunning home. (We just had to quickly take down all the Halloween decorations first – side effect of getting your family photos taken the day after a night of trick or treating).

The parents and kids were a delight, and those were the best behaved dogs I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing!
Please check out some of my favorite images below and contact me if you’d like to book your own photo session.
1. What prompted you to have this photo session? We haven’t taken any family pictures since 2019. So it was TIME.
2. How did you choose your location for your session? We recently built a new home and we wanted to showcase the house as well as ourselves.
3. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session? Don’t procrastinate any longer. Just Do It.
4. Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography? Working with Stephanie was easy breezy. So simple.
