Nathan’s Austin Graduation Portraits

Nathan’s Austin graduation portrait session took us through Butler Park and along Lady Bird Lake, with the city, water, and bridges giving the photographs plenty of variety.

As a homeschooled graduate, Nathan wanted portraits that marked this milestone while still feeling like him.

The boardwalk and nearby railings brought a clean, modern look to the session, while the water and shoreline softened the setting.

We also used the park’s concrete seating and stone edges for a few more relaxed portraits.

The bridge views around Lady Bird Lake worked especially well for his graduation cap and gown portraits.

Outside of school, Nathan enjoys video games and basketball—two more parts of the story behind this next chapter.
