Flying high at the Blanton Art Museum Courtyard | Austin Family Photo Session
Last year I met this family at the Domain (Rock Rose Avenue area) for photos and ice cream.
This year, the plan was the Blanton Museum Courtyard and soccer photos as a treat at the end.


FYI: the Museum is closed on Mondays so that’s the day they chose for their session. It was truly less crowded than my normal weekend sessions I’ve had at that location.
Tips for a Family Photo Session at the Blanton Museum:
- PARKING: I always recommend paying for parking at the Brazos Garage on MLK and then walking over.
- LOCATIONS: There are so many intersesting and colorful backgrounds in this one small area. I love that you can see the Texas Capitol peeking behind their heads when they are seated under the Petals sculptures. Don’t forget about the alphabet mural on the backside of the Museum as well. *If you want to take any photos inside the Museum itself, permission is required.
- WARDROBE: You’ll be surrounded by some bright, vivid colors, so keep that in mind when planning your outfits.
- SCHEDULE: Double check the Blanton’s Events page and the University of Texas Football schedule to make sure you won’t have conflicts
