South Congress (SoCo) in Austin, TX is a very trendy place to eat, shop, live, and shoot. Naturally, I was excited when these wonderful ladies decided to do a session there.

I received an email from Alyssa stating that her friend Kyla was having a birthday. She wanted to give her something that would make her feel special; as if the spotlight were on her. She wanted to veer away from a traditional gift like a mani/pedi and what better way to do that than by giving Kyla her very own photo shoot in SoCo!

We shot at many of the local hot spots such as the I Love You So Much mural at Jo’s Coffee, The Hotel San Jose, in front of an art exhibit that was in town that week, and outside many of the shops.

And while this was Kyla’s moment for the spotlight, she wanted to share the love with her friends and made sure to include them in the shoot as well.
