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
