Are you looking for the next cool spot to take photos? Over the years, I’ve photographed many people in beautiful places. Here are some of my favorite photoshoot spots from Galveston to Houston to Austin, Texas!

Hershey Beach – Hershey Beach Dr Galveston, TX 77554

This location is nestled in the quiet West End beaches. It’s perfect for solo sessions, family sessions, or lover sessions. Galveston beaches can get quite crowded, so it’s important to find one that’s a little more hidden!

Railroad tracks – 51st St Galveston, TX 77551

These railroad tracks and abandoned buses offer the full package when it comes to beautifully haunting places. Whether you’re looking for trouble or a dreamy crop field backdrop, you’ll find it on 51st street!

Sugar Bean Coffee and Cream – 11 Evia Main Unit 101 Galveston, TX 77554

Sugar Bean is my favorite location to shoot in Galveston! Its small-town aesthetic works for any session. You can enjoy your cup of coffee and take a walk around in nature, finding the perfect setting for your next picture.

Moontower Saloon – 10212 Manchaca Rd Austin, TX 78748

Moontower Saloon was one of those accidental finds. I was arriving to see a live band during a girl’s night and noticed they had an abandoned truck and bus in the field next to the venue.
