Austin senior photos at The Wayback and Commons Ford are such a perfect pairing! They’re only three minutes apart, which makes it super easy to get two completely different looks in one session.
The Wayback gives you that clean, bright, slightly upscale feel with its cute cottages, soft natural light, and gorgeous blue door. It does need to be reserved ahead of time and has a $125 booking fee, but it’s such a great spot for elevated portraits.
Commons Ford is just minutes down the road and has the prettiest open-field feel! Tall grasses, golden light, and that effortless Austin vibe. A white dress, cowboy boots, or a cute cowboy hat always look amazing out here!
For Evelyn’s session, we started at The Wayback for the polished look and then headed to Commons Ford to catch the sunset glow. Shooting on both digital and 35mm film gave her gallery the happiest, softest, most nostalgic feel! If you’re dreaming of senior photos that feel joyful, natural, and full of sunshine, this location combo really is the best.
Thank you, Evelyn for such a dreamy shoot!
