Johnston Family Maternity Sunrise Session at Mueller Lake Park

About This Session at Mueller Lake Park

The sweet Johnston family is expecting their second child and wanted to capture this transitional time before baby sister is born. We met at Mueller Lake Park for a sunrise session. We spent the morning walking trails, playing near the water, and soaking in those early rays. Sessions like this are laid-back, playful, and honest… just how I like it.

Why Choose Sunrise for Your Family Photos?

Sunrise sessions are a hidden gem in Austin. The light is soft, the air is cool, and your kids haven’t had time to melt down yet. Mueller Lake Park is practically empty this early, and the golden light over the water makes everything feel a little extra magical. I suggested sunrise because their first born was barely two at the time and most kids have the best moods early in the morning.

Watch their Family Video

This isn’t just a family session video… it’s a snapshot of life right before everything changes. One last slow morning with just the three of them. The in-between moments, the belly giggles, the way their daughter clings a little tighter because she knows something is coming, even if she can’t name it.
