Austin Lifestyle Senior 2023 Shoot | Lauren | Austin High School

Oh my goodness! We were a bit stressed about the weather before this shoot. I swear I'm a full time photographer and part time meterologist...see Mom I am using my Geography degree from college! My Gigi always wanted me to be a weather woman on TV. I could've given Ginger on GMA a run for her money. :) We had been in touch a few times prior to the shoot checking the hourly weather and praying that the rain would clear. Aaaaannnnddd, at 4pm that day it was still iffy but the rain chances were only 6% so I was feeling good about that! By 6pm, it was just gorgeous out and made for a beautiful sky for the shoot. Lauren wore some light blue shorts and a vibrant blue dress for a couple of her outfits and the blue just pops off of the green grass and trees. Lauren is wrapping up her time at Austin High and moving on to Texas A & M in the fall to study really hard stuff! Haha! Not only is she beautiful but she's super smart, too. Grab an iced tea and a brownie and kick back and enjoy her video. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

Austin, Texas Senior 2023 Shoot | Patrick | Bowie High School

We've got ourselves another good one here...A Boy and his Truck Part 2. I headed back out to the country and made my way down that dirt road again for another senior shoot. Patrick showed up with his jeans, boots and a few cowboy hats and also wanted to make sure he got some senior photos with his pickup truck. We walked around the property using the beautiful green pastures, broken fences and utilized all the great wood and stone textures near by. The best was when we ended the shoot down on the dirt road we made our way over by the horses. This white horse came over to say hi and once Patrick started feeding her some grass she wasn't going anywhere. If you look closely in the photos with the white horse, I'm not sure if she was posing for me with her over the shoulder look or if she was just giving me a side eye to stop taking photos. Either way, the sun was setting and the sky was a beautiful golden pink and it made for a great setting to finish up Patrick's shoot. Grab yourself a cold beverage and some cheetos and kick back and watch Patrick's video. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

Austin, Texas Senior Shoot | Stephen | Vista Ridge High School

These next few shoots are all about a boy and his truck so get ready. Being a small town girl myself, there's nothing more that I love than a good ol' country boy, dirt roads and pick up trucks so I was so excited to photograph these guys. Stephen pulled up the dirt road ever so slowly in his freshly washed and shined red pickup truck in hopes to keep it clean through those few mud puddles that he had to pass through. Once him and his mom arrived, we went over his wardrobe which consisted of 3 different pearl snap shirts (yeehaw!) and made our photo shoot game plan. The rustic wood building, open fields with broken fence posts and old oak trees dotting the property made for a great backdrop for his senior shoot. After the sun started to settle down, he pulled his truck down the dirt road and parked it just where you could see the horses eating grass in the background. Stephen has worked very hard on fixing up this truck, put alot of blood, sweat and tears into and is very proud of all his hard work (as he should be!). It was the perfect prop to use in his senior photos and he'll always be able to look back on these photos to cherish this time in his life. Grab yourself a beverage and kick back and enjoy Stephen's video. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

Austin High School Senior 2023 Shoot | Brady | Bowie High School

I'm rockin' and rollin' over here at BNP photographing all these great high school seniors that are about to graduate! These guys are showing up with the best attitude and are so photogenic. Brady did not disappoint, either. We met downtown at Butler Park and utilized all the great pockets of the park for his senior photos. We ended on the Lamar Street Bridge with all the after work walkers and joggers passing by. These ended up being my fav...where he has his Razorbacks shirt on and the Bowie graduation gown thrown on loosely over his clothes and he topped it off with his Salt Lick ball cap and the Austin skyline in the background. They just make for some great senior photos. One day, he'll look back on these and be amazed at how much that Austin skyline has changed since 2023! Grab an ice cold beverage and snack and kick back and watch Brady's video.

Spring, TX High School Senior Shoot | Brendan | Klein Collins High School

Every once in awhile, I get asked to travel for photography. I absolutely love to! In this case, it happens to be one of my best friends that I grew up with back in Missouri and we've known each other since we were 4 years old! Her family lives in Spring now so it's great that we're so close and can pop over in a few hours and see each other. Stephanie's son, Brendan is graduating from Klein Collins and is headed to Texas A & M in the fall for college. He's following in his sister's footsteps and keeping Aggies in the family. I roadtripped over on St. Patty's Day weekend and that drive on 290 was actually amazing (for once) with all the wildflowers and fields of bluebonnets along the roadside. Unfortunately, I didn't stop for the wildflowers since I was hustling to get to Spring so we could knock out Brendan's senior photos that day. For his shoot, we ended up going to a near by park that is really pretty with lots of ducks, trees and a few ponds. Afterwards, we swung by his high school to get a few shots there. The front of his high school totally reminds me of one that you'd see in a teenie bopper movie. To wrap up the shoot, we had Brendan do a farewell to high school jump off the ledge in front of his high school...ya know to show his enthusiasm about graduating...you'll have to watch the video until the end to see what sort of air that boy caught! Grab a hot tea and ginger snaps and kick back and take in Brendan's shoot. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

ATX High School Senior Shoot | Emma | Bowie High School

Oh my goodness! Emma was down for an adventure for her senior shoot! We faired the CRAZY INSANE SXSW and spring break crowds on South Congress and conquered her senior shoot with hundreds of visitors and tourists around. What a trooper she was. Emma owned it, had fun and her confidence shines through on these photos. And, I have to say that people were really good about waiting for us to finish a shot if we were taking over the sidewalk or shooting in the street. The great thing was there was this vibrant energy on the street so I think it added a dash of zing to the experience. Emma loves color and wanted that Austin vibe that South Congress has to offer. We struck gold when @Home Slice actually had their red photo booth VW bus down there and the guy working the booth allowed us to have some fun with it as a prop. Thank you Home Slice! Emma brought these lime green heels that were her pop of color with her jeans and white shirt and they went perfectly with the giant sunglasses that rest towards the south end of South Congress. Love how playful these shots turned out! Her fall plans include staying in the city and attending UT this fall. Grab a bubbly diet Coke and a slice of Pizza (having a total craving now since I've been talking about Home Slice) and kick back and watch Emma's journey down SOCO.

ATX High School Senior Shoot 2023 | Madeline | Bowie High School

I met Madeline and her family in downtown Austin at the start of SXSW in hopes that it wouldn't be too crazy in the location that we were shooting her senior photos. We lucked out with absolutely gorgeous weather and only a handful of people at the park where we met. I loved that the family all showed up in their various Texas college t-shirts and we grabbed a few shots of the family first. Mom went to University of Texas, Dad went to Stephen F. Austin, Brother currently goes to TX State and Madeline is heading to Texas A & M! Once we finished a few shots of the family we concentrated on Madeline and moved about the park using some great textures and colors. Along with her college t-shirt she brought a cute and feminine white dress and a sporty black dress with her sneakers to change into. They were perfect with the park's greenery, concrete stairs and city backgrounds. Madeline knocked it out of the park (no pun intended) during her photoshoot and we captured some really beautiful images of her. Grab your cup of hot tea and a yummy snack and kick back and watch her sweet video. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.
