AUSTIN, TEXAS
PHOTOSHOOT LOCATIONS
Let's be real, Austin is incredibly special and filled with a lot of unique spots to take photos! Having so many beautiful places to pick from can make the decision difficult. I've compiled a comprehensive list of some wonderful photoshoot options to choose from. The list is filled with all sorts of locations, some are free and some charge a fee. Each location provides a variety of backdrops that would be great for any type of session. If there isn't a gallery link below that means I haven't gotten a chance to take photos there but I've heard or seen from others that these places are special. I would love to check them out with you!
