UT Austin senior photography sessions in the fall are always a pleasure! The mix of the fall leaves, cooler weather, and no wait times with popular campus photo spots make it my favorite time of year to do senior photos.
Sweet Shelby reached out a few weeks before her fall mini session, and we were able to squeeze in a number of different locations around the central campus area.
UT Austin Senior Photography Session with Shelby
As a nutrition major, Shelby requested photos at Mary A. Gearing Hall with a full view of the UT Tower in the back. It always makes me happy when students ask to take photos at meaningful locations for them—places they spent a lot of time studying, being with friends, or spots they want to remember from their years in school. It always makes the images turn out more special!
UT Austin Blue Door Graduation Photos
With a 30-minute mini session, Shelby and I made our way for shots at the Blue Door. It’s a great place to do photos in the fall, because the wait time is almost non-existent! Since the door faces east, the lighting was also great at 3:30 PM.
If you plan to do photos in the fall, make sure to note the time change. With Daylight Savings, it’s a great rule idea to start your photos around 3:30 or 4 PM, an hour before sunset.
After we finished up at the Blue Door, we made our way to the tree-lined area below the Tower. I love the way the light scatters between the tree branches at this time. This area is one of my favorite spots to shoot that many UT Austin seniors don’t ask for. If we have remaining time in our sessions, I’ll almost always try to get a few more shots in this area.

In Closing
I wish Shelby all the best as she finishes up her last semester of school and takes a year off after completing her pre-med Nutrition degree. I know her family is so proud of her, and I hope she uses these photos to celebrate her accomplishments.
