Texas State University location ideas for your photoshoot

As a fellow Bobcat, I know the beauty this entire campus holds. I started school at Texas State back in 2016 and since then I've had the opportunity to photograph so many graduates. Almost every Senior I've worked with has asked for my recommendation of the best photo locations on campus. First, I will always recommend you choose your primary college. For example, if your degree is in Business, then you would choose the McCoy College of Business building. Next, I would recommend your favorite spot to sit and relax between classes. Where's that spot you went to to center yourself? Mine was always the hidden hammocks ... don't ask me where they're at! Finally, I list the iconic spots that everyone knows and are essential to Texas State. Scroll through this guide to see my location recommendations with examples.

Remember, we want these photos to commemorate your experience here at TXST!


All the pictures in this guide were taken by me, Alyce, over the past 7 years! See my Senior Portraits page for my current style/portfolio.
