Old Settlers Park – Maternity Session

Old Settlers Park – Maternity Session

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!

Cade’s post-High School plans involve joining the Marines and then on to College to study Mechanical Engineering.

Northwest Hills Public Art – Location Scouting

Northwest Hills Public Art – Location Scouting

My in-laws come to visit every January through March and rent a place in Northwest Hills. They were the ones who told me about all the sculptures and artwork they would see on their daily walks. So when I drove down Wood Hollow Dr. and saw this gigantic pink metal sculpture, I knew it would make a great backdrop for a Senior Portrait Session.

I knew the best way to get other people excited about the possibilities of these backdrops was to show what a portrait session here would look like. So I contacted my old neighbor (who’s currently a high school junior) and asked her to help me location scout. She brought her best friend, and we had fun exploring the murals and artwork on that street.
