Color Guard on South Congress – Senior + Family Session
Class of 2026 High School Photo Session | Austin Senior Photographer
This High School Senior chose South Congress for his photo location to compliment the Color Guard props he brought. We made sure to hit some of the most iconic spots along the street.
We also got some photos with his family who came along.
If you’re also interested in having your High School Senior Photo Session along South Congress Avenue, check out my tips below.
Tips for High School Senior Photo Sessions on South Congress:
- Pick an evening session early in the week (Monday-Wednesday) for smaller crowds and easier parking
- If you want the “walking across South Congress with the Capitol and Downtown buildings in the background” image, pick a sunrise session so there won’t be traffic
- An easy meeting spot is the “I love you so much” mural at Jo’s Coffee
- Plan to pay for parking at a nearby garage or in the neighborhood
- There aren’t public restrooms, so plan to change outfits in your car (or bring things you can layer on and off)
- Consider ending your photo session with ice cream at Amy’s or Jeni’s or Gelato at Gelato Paradiso nearby
- There are lots of great murals we can use as backdrops as we walk along the streets

Client Feedback and Advice
- What prompted you to have this photo session? We wanted to get senior photos taken before our son’s schedule got crazy.
- What do you plan to do with your digital photos? We plan to use the photos of our son in graduation announcements and an ad in the yearbook. We will use the family photos in our Christmas card.
- How did you choose your location for your session? My son is in color guard, and they used a photo of the murals on their flags for their winter guard show.
- What advice would you give to others planning a similar Senior + Family photo session?
I would tell people to just follow Stephanie’s suggestions. She’s very good at what she does.
- Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography? Stephanie is very thoughtful and listens to what you would like to do. She’s flexible and was willing to take pictures at murals we didn’t discuss prior to the photo shoot.
