Skateboarding at the Long Center – High School Photo Session

Long Center for the Performing Arts in Austin | High School Photo Session

When trying to find a scenic skateboarding-friendly location, we decided on the Long Center. It’s a great backdrop for photos in downtown Austin.

And that concrete rotunda and pathways made for some fun action shots. We also got more traditional posed photos in a variety of backgrounds.

If you live in Austin and are also interested in having your photos taken at the Long Center, check out my tips below:

Tips for High School Photo Sessions at the Long Center:

• Check the Long Center Event calendar to see if there are any conflicting events
• The roof of the Long Center Garage also has great skyline views and is rarely crowded (I like the colorful yellow and purple painted walls by the stairs & elevators)
• Be prepared to change outfits in your car since there isn’t a restroom nearby
• Golden hour sessions (one hour before sunset) make great lighting on the buildings downtown
• You can pay to the park at the Long Center garage or look for a spot on the street
