Class of 2026 High School Photo Session | Austin Senior Photographer
I last saw this High School Senior when I did her family photos at the Blanton Museum two years ago. (And we got some Senior photos for her older sister then).

When it came time for her own Senior Photos, she requested a nature background. I did some scouting at St. Edwards Park (a spot I’ve haven’t had a Senior session at yet).

The park was looking pretty green for end of summer, but we decided to bring some flowers with us for a pop of color.

If you’re also interested in having your High School Senior Photo Session at St. Edwards Park, check out my tips below.
Tips for High School Senior Photo Sessions at St. Edwards Park
- Plan to park in the small lot at 7301 Spicewood Springs Road
- There aren’t restrooms on site, so you’ll have to change outfits in your car
- Spring can bring fields of wildflowers. The rest of the year has lush greenery along the trails
- Keep an eye out of cactus and ants in the fields (I recommend wearing a pair of cowboy boots during your session)
- You can also hike down to the greenbelt for some water views

Client Feedback and Advice
- What do you plan to do with your digital photos? I plan to use the digital photos for a yearbook ad celebrating Kate’s graduation and for her graduation announcement.
- What advice would you give to others planning a similar Senior photo session? My advice is to moms of very independent kids: now is not the time to completely cede control on the outfits, or you may end up surprised on picture day. Have your senior try on what he or she wants to wear at least a week before pictures and make sure you don’t need to go shopping.
- Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography? We had a great time with Stephanie! I can’t wait to see the pictures!
