McKinney Falls Shared Sisters Senior Portrait Session | Austin Senior Photographer
If you’d also like to have a Senior photo session at McKinney Falls State Park, here are my tips below:
- PARKING: There are several parking lots depending on which part of the park you want to explore. Â
- OPERATING HOURS:Â The park is open from 8am-10pm daily. Admission is $6/adult. I recommend booking a day pass in advance of your session.
- LOCATIONS: This park is has many scenic locations. Check out this trail map. I like to start at Upper Falls then drive over to Lower Falls.
- WARDROBE:Â We’ll be doing some walking from one part of the state park to another, so wear (or bring) comfortable shoes. You may even want water shoes and bring a towel if you decide to dip your feet in the creek.
- SCHEDULE: This park is busy during weekends with hikers and swimmers. I usually have to photoshop out other visitors to the park everytime I have a photo session there.Â
- RESTROOMS: There are several bathrooms located across the park for outfit changes.Â
- DOG-FRIENDLY:Â Yes, this park is definitely dog-friendly. They must be on a leash, and they can’t go in the water.
- WHAT TO BRING: It’s optional, but some prop ideas are listed HERE for Seniors.Â
