Brooke’s Senior Portraits: A Modern and Timeless Session in Downtown Austin
I am beyond excited to share the story of Brooke, Class of 2025, and her senior portrait session! As a Dripping Springs-based photographer, I get to work with amazing seniors from all over Central Texas, and Brooke was no exception. She chose me to capture this monumental milestone, and together we created timeless, yet modern portraits that reflect her personality, style, and the vibrant energy of this special time in her life.
Why Downtown Austin?
When it came time to discuss the location for Brooke’s senior portraits, we wanted a backdrop that would truly capture her spirit while also giving her portraits a unique flair. Austin is such an iconic city, with its mix of urban charm, natural beauty, and creative energy. It made perfect sense to use Downtown Austin as the setting. From the layers of bridges and buildings to cool architecture of the Austin Downtown Library, there’s no shortage of cool spots to highlight her bold, confident vibe.
Brooke loved the idea of blending modern city scenes with a touch of sophistication, and Downtown Austin offered the perfect setting for that. Plus, the energy of the city mirrors her own: vibrant, dynamic, and ready to take on whatever comes next after graduation.
The Session
We started at the famous a parking garage downtown and used the skyscrapers from the top of the garage to surround her. The bright colors and playful vibe set the tone for the shoot. Brooke’s laid-back yet chic style matched the scene perfectly, giving us a great start.
Next, we moved to some of the city’s more architectural spots, where the clean lines and reflective surfaces of downtown walkways created a beautiful contrast to the natural textures of Brooke’s wardrobe. We also found some slightly busier bridges and walkways, where we spent a few minutes safely dodging traffic to get that perfect bridge shot. Each location was thoughtfully chosen to reflect the many sides of who Brooke is—confident, fun, and ready to step into her next chapter.
Why Senior Portraits Matter
Senior portraits are so much more than just pictures—they’re a celebration of a milestone. For Brooke, this session was a way to capture her individuality and her journey through high school. Every location, every shot, was chosen to tell her story: her love for adventure, her appreciation for beauty, and her excitement for the future.
As a photographer based in Dripping Springs, I love seeing my seniors come to life in front of the camera. Whether it’s with the rolling hills of Dripping Springs or the lively streets of Downtown Austin, every senior portrait session is an opportunity to create lasting memories and showcase each senior’s personality. Check out my other work, From Tweens to Teens.
Congratulations, Brooke!
Brooke’s senior portraits turned out stunning, and I’m so grateful that she chose me to capture this important time in her life. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her, and I have no doubt that she’ll continue to shine bright as she heads into her next adventure.
