Absolutely in love with Julep’s senior session – we started at Mattie’s, where the oak trees and classic white exterior bring that elegant, timeless feel. Then we headed out to Commons Ford for that golden, outdoorsy glow that only Texas evenings can give. It’s the perfect combo if you want something a little bit dressy and a little bit outdoorsy.
For styling, I love something elevated and soft for Mattie’s – think flowy dresses or tailored neutrals – and something more relaxed and textured for Commons Ford, like denim, a white dress, and of course, a great pair of cowboy boots.
Photographed on both digital and film for that soft, nostalgic finish!
