Old Settlers Park | Austin Maternity Photographer
When we looked at the weather forecast for this maternity session and saw highs in the 90s, this couple graciously switched from a sunset to a sunrise session. Bonus – their location, Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, was mostly deserted that early.

We walked around the water and explored as the sun rose. Also, I loved how prepared they were with great props and accessories we got to incorporate into their photos. Best wishes on the birth of your baby boy later this summer!
If you’d also like to have a photo session at Old Settlers Park, here’s some information:
- EVENTS CALENDAR: Check out their Events calendar in case of conflicts.
- PARKING: There are multiple parking lots throughout the park
- LOCATIONS: I like the waterfront area best
- RESTROOMS: There are public restroom across the park
- NEARBY RESTAURANTS: If you’d like to go out for dinner after your photo session, some nearby options include Salt Lick BBQ near the Dell Diamond, Blue Corn Harvest Bar & Grill and Torchy’s Tacos.
- DOG-FRIENDLY: Yes, as long as they are on leash.
- WHAT TO BRING: Baby clothes, ultrasound photos, nursery gear, etc.
