Butler Park
Great for an urban + Austin backdrop! A big park right near downtown. Sunset is best for this location.

Your Home! Photographer favorite. 😉
What’s more personal and comfortable than your own home?! It doesn’t have to look like a magazine, all homes are beautiful and worthy of a photoshoot, especially if it’s your happy place! Pick a favorite part of your day and let’s document it! Home works particularly well for kids on schedules that won’t be happy for sunrise or sunset hours too, or littles under 1.
