Your photos won't look drastically different than the way everything looked in real life. I seek out bright and colorful backgrounds, and find beautiful natural light that will make you really stand out!
you be you
We start every photo session by saying "The most important thing is to be yourself." It's simple, but so true! If you feel like yourself, (and not a stiff, posed version of yourself) you'll LOVE your photos. We'll help you pose, but the key to having natural, candid looking photos is movement. Those wind-in-your-hair, laughing out loud, magical moments happen with a little prompting from me + confidence from you. I'll keep you moving throughout the session, and we'll have a blast!

What is a session with Garrison Seniors like?
Garrison Seniors
We vibe best with laid back seniors who want to have fun taking their photos!
Our sessions could not be more different than stuffy, indoor photoshoots in front of a backdrop and lights. We love taking photos that show off the location, whether that be the natural beauty of the hill country, or the quirky and colorful backgrounds in downtown ATX.
We want to customize your session to include your favorite colors, clothing styles, hobbies, and locations. We’re ready to hear your ideas, and we’ll share our ideas too!
We embrace the messy, wild, and fun. We aren’t afraid of wind blowing your hair around, but we also want to be sure you look and feel your best. And in our opinion, you look best when feeling relaxed and confident.
Oh, and no experience is necessary! In fact, we LOVE working with seniors would have never taken professional photos before. We’ll give lots of advice and hype you up throughout the session.

Amanda, 2024 senior mOM
"Lauren was such a pleasure to work with for my daughter, Katelyn's senior photos. She's an amazing photographer and chose great locations at the Wildflower Center...but it's also the little things like making a playlist of some of my daughters favorite music, and being so positive and encouraging making Katelyn feel so comfortable and at ease. The photos all turned out so beautifully, it was beyond all our expectations."
bethany, 2024 senior mOM
"The pictures turned out better than we could have imagined! Lauren was able to capture Greta's fun and joyful personality as well as her more serious, contemplative side. We did have weather concerns on the day of the photoshoot because of rainy conditions, but Lauren was monitoring multiple websites to make the best decision. We trusted her judgement to proceed as planned and are so happy we did! The lighting was great and we found so many unique backgrounds downtown for the pictures. Lauren put us both at ease and gave Greta great directions and feedback on her poses. We are so thankful for her thoughtfulness and expertise which helped Greta relax and really enjoy the whole experience!"
Jenna, 2022 txst senior
“I loved Lauren's style when I first saw her website, and the whole experience was wonderful! She answered all of my questions through email, sent me a guide with tips for photo day, was super fun to work with, perfectly instructed me on how to pose and what to do, let me bring my pup to be in some of the photos, sent me some preview photos the day after our shoot. The pictures turned out so beautifully! I sent the link to the gallery to my family and friends and everyone else is just as obsessed as I am. It was also my first time taking official professional photos and the whole experience was fun and relaxed despite the fact that I have no idea what to do in front of a camera sometimes.”
annabelle, 2022 UT senior
"Lauren did mine and my boyfriend's senior photos and they were amazing!! I highly recommend her to anyone who may be nervous in front of the camera/hasn't had much experience getting pics taken 😍"
DeLisa, 2023 senior mom
"Lauren did an amazing job with my daughter’s senior pictures. She worked directly with my daughter before the photo shoot, gave her helpful hints and listened to her vision for her pictures. During the shoot she was professional and fun! We just received the photos and they are all beautiful! She captured my daughter so well!"
Alia, 2020 UT senior
"Lauren did an incredible job with my senior pictures! I had so much fun! She gave great direction and helped me feel confident in front of the camera. She was honest and made sure I would be happy with my photos. She is super talented and her work is amazing!!"
Desiree, 2021 UT senior
"Lauren was amazing, I cannot say enough great things! She made taking my senior photos so easy and fun. Before we started she had a little chat with me about what I can expect and that really eased my fears. She helps you every step of the way so if you're looking for someone to take your senior pictures look no further!"
eliizbaeth, 2018 UT senior
"My best friend and I did a joint session with Lauren for our senior photos and it was such a blast! We were able to go to all the best places around campus together, while making each other smile and laugh and we even got some joint photos together! Lauren was so accommodating with the rainy weather and was able to fit us in at the very last minute. She was such an angel. I would definitely recommend doing a joint session with your best friend because it makes it feel more natural and eases the nerves that are naturally present in any photo shoot. Lauren made us feel so comfortable during our session, I am so happy we picked her to take our photos!"
LILY, 2019 HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR
"I am very picky with how I look in photos and just finished a session with Lauren at the UT campus for high school senior photos. They came out so good and I’m definitely gonna have a hard time picking out just a few to showcase for events coming up. Thanks Lauren!!"
"Lauren went above and beyond to get some awesome photos for Lily's senior photos. She was so easy to work with and really has an eye for the locations. I highly recommend her."

savannah, 2018 UT senior
"I thankfully did my senior pictures with Lauren, and I absolutely loved them all. She really went out of her way to get every single shot that I wanted. She also had great ideas and places to take me. Also, I think it's important to have fun during these shoots and this was so much fun. Lauren is so sweet and makes you feel so comfortable. She's the best and I can't wait to hopefully use her again sometime. Thank yo so much, Lauren!!! In love with every picture!!”
