Baseball Senior Pictures – Toomey Fields - Austin Senior Photographer

Tips for a Baseball Senior Photo Session | Austin High School Senior Photographer

If you’re a High School baseball player and want to include your sport in your High School Senior Photo Session, I’ve got you covered.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here are my Top Five Tips:

1) WHEN TO BOOK: Book during your off-season (for this high school athlete, we met in early January before his baseball season had started). If you play multiple sports, pick your least busy time of year.

2) WHERE TO GO: Plan to meet at a Baseball Field (this Senior had access to Toomey Fields in South Austin) – but you could also ask about access at your school campus. We took shots in the dugout, on the bleachers and on the field. I also loved the views of the Austin skyline from this angle.

3) WHAT TO BRING: Bring all your gear – we made use of his baseball hat, bat, ball and glove. His mom also brought his first uniform from his T-Ball days (from this very same field!) as well as a photo from that younger era (see gallery pics below). This Austin High Senior also brought his fishing gear. Then we got some fishing shots around Lady Bird Lake as well.

4) WHAT TO WEAR: Outfits – we took photos in his baseball uniform, cap & gown as well as in a more casual outift. Variety is the key to a well-rounded image gallery.

5) HOW TO POSE: I’ll give lots of instructions, but overall we’ll do a mix of action, posed and detail shots during your photo session.
