Polly - Westwood High School 2025

Capturing Polly: A Senior Photography Session in Austin’s Stunning Landscapes

As a high school senior photographer, I find immense joy in capturing the unique personalities and stories of my clients. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Polly, an incredible senior, in some of the most picturesque locations throughout the Austin area. Our session beautifully blended nature’s tranquility with the vibrant energy of the city, resulting in stunning images that reflect Polly’s spirit and excitement for the future.

Urban City Vibes

Before our time in nature, we photographed on the bustling streets of downtown Austin. The city’s vibrant art, historic architecture, and lively atmosphere allowed us to capture a different side of Polly. Against a backdrop of the city and trendy spot, her personality really shone through.

The contrast between the tranquility of the natural landscapes and the energy of the city added depth to her senior portraits, making this session wonderfully diverse.

Exploring the Beauty of Nature

Our adventure ended in a serene natural setting, where the lush greenery and warm sunlight created an ideal backdrop for capturing timeless portraits. Polly’s effortless grace shone through as she posed amidst waterfalls and tall grasses. It was amazing to see how comfortable she felt in the great outdoors, embracing the beauty of nature while radiating her unique style.

Nature photography has its own charm: the soft, diffused lighting and the vivid colors all work together to enhance the subject. Polly’s photos in this environment highlighted her joyful demeanor and reflected the carefree essence of her high school experience. The natural scenery also provided opportunities for creative shots, such as using tree branches to frame her portrait or capturing her laughter as she twirled in a sun-drenched meadow.
