Client Testimonials

High school seniors from all over central Texas and beyond come to DFP for senior portraits, and we love to share the things they say about their senior photo experience. Being a photographer in Austin gives me an incredible opportunity to bring you the most exciting and fun senior sessions anywhere. From Dripping Springs to Georgetown, Lago Vista to Pflugerville, seniors from McNeil, Vandegrift, Anderson, Georgetown, and more have great things to say about us. Here are some of their kind words.

Senior Year magazine

DFP is frequently featured on the popular Instagram sensation, Senior Year Magazine, which features some of the world's top senior photographers. For 2019, DFP was chosen as one of the top 200 High School Senior Photographers worldwide, and of those top 200, was named Gold Elite Status for being one of only 13 photographers who had 5 or more images selected for the premier publication. It is both an extreme honor and privilege to receive such a prestigious award.

Morgan - Lake Travis High

Thanks for meeting me today. Once I got home, I took a look at some of the items in the bag. I tried to resist, so we could all see them at the same time, but I had to take a peek. I’m not prone to exuberance, but only one word comes to mind. Wow! I didn’t look at everything, because I want Deborah and Morgan to be as impressed as I was, so I put it back together like you gave it to me. I have to say that there have been very few times that I’ve been so impressed with not only the finished product, but the presentation, as well. I can’t imagine that there’s any photographer in Austin or anywhere else for that matter, that can beat the quality of both. The presentation of the finished product certainly completes the whole thing. You definitely have a winning combination and you can tell much thought and care has been given to it. No doubt, Deborah and Morgan made the right decision. I know we’ll look forward to the opportunity to work with you again with the whole family. Kim (Morgan's Dad)

Nikki - Dripping Springs High School

"I wanted to tell you that these photos are absolutely beautiful, and not just beautiful because my daughter is, but because you are a wonderful photographer. Every photo captured the real Nikki. You were fantastic the day we went out. You made it fun and you were so encouraging and you wanted to keep taking photos even when we were done. You made the whole experience a total joy. There were so many gorgeous shots to choose from, it was hard to choose. I have dealt with a lot of photographers along the way, I am very big into photographs of my kids, and have never had such an awesome experience with such a talented photographer. Thank you so much. I know I am going on and on, but we are so pleased with her photos. Even how you presented them to us in the packaging with all the little extras was cute and fun." ~Tina (Nikki's mom)

Hannah P - Vandegrift High School

"Dawn Fry Photo is awesome. You get to be yourself the entire time. She believes in everyone's natural beauty and she knows how to bring it out. You will feel beautiful the entire time and you leave feeling so much more confident that you were before, and that confidence stays. Not only that, but you get some pretty darn awesome photos out of it too." ~Hannah

Isabella - Vandegrift High School

I love that being a spokesmodel and having our senior pictures taken is truly a celebration of our lives. The ability to promote your business through fun events and photo shoots, while having those pictures to capture this special time in our lives is irreplaceable. ~Isabella Roberts

Jasmine - McNeil High School

I love the opportunity to be able to meet people from other schools and share common interests! (I remember when I saw Morgan at a band camp and we hit it off from every competition after that) I also love just being able to grow in my own confidence and being surrounded by everyone else's positivity and kindness in the group shoots. It's a definitely a unique experience. ~Jasmine Tumewu

Abby - Georgetown High School

"Pictures are the best keepsakes to hold on to memories. You'll only be a senior in high school one time after all. Being a DFP Spokesmodel has made my senior year extremely memorable! It's a great way to make memories and friends. Dawn and Ledda have taken me under their wings ever since day 1 at my interview. I wasn't too sure what being a DFP Spokesmodel was all about when I got to my first shoot, but Dawn and Ledda made me feel very comfortable and helped me along the way. The DFP Spokesmodel program brings people together. In fact, I've made wonderful new friends. Several of the other spokesmodels from other schools around Austin are also in band like myself, so I was able to see them during football games. I love getting dressed up for photo shoots, and the best part is seeing the pictures afterward which I use as great profile pictures for social media. My parents especially love seeing the pictures and sending it to my family members. Being a DFP Spokesmodel has been such a great experience and I know I'll never forget it!" ~Abby

Anne - Anderson High School

"Being a spokesmodel was a fantastic experience for many reasons. First of all, you get to practice for your senior photo shoot with the group photo shoots. That way, by the time it's your senior pictures you will be a natural at posing! You also get to know Dawn so that you are comfortable posing for her. Another perk is getting to meet a bunch of girls from different schools and becoming friends with them. You also get to feel like a model! My senior picture day made me feel like a celebrity. Dawn and Ledda spent their entire day pampering me, preparing and making the shoot perfect! Dawn takes hundreds of photos in a variety of locations so you can get all the looks you want, and will have plenty of photos! Dawn puts so much time into her work and her products will amaze you! I am so happy I chose Dawn Fry Photo!" ~Anne

Emily - Vandegrift High School

"I was nervous about coming up with poses that would be most flattering for me, but in my session the poses came completely naturally and Dawn was a genius with pose ideas for me to try. I felt beautiful and excited. The fact that I was a senior has kept hitting me all year, and my biggest senior realization was picking out my pictures after the shoot. Dawn is super fun, she's an absolutely amazing photographer, and the shoot doesn't feel long and boring it's a blast that passes in the blink of an eye." ~ Emily

Shruthi - McNeil High School

"After working with Dawn, especially through the spokesmodel program, I learned how to make myself look best for a picture. I learned what poses work for me, how to make pictures look natural, and that it's okay to just be myself and let my pictures reflect who I am. I really liked that Dawn encouraged us to be ourselves. My senior shoot was all me and I was able to incorporate all of my styles as well as my culture to get awesome pictures! To be a little dramatic, I felt like a princess! The whole day was about me and it was super fun to just be myself and let my personality shine in my pictures." ~Shruthi

Karen - McNeil High School

"My favorite part of working with Dawn Fry Photo is that Dawn is one of the few photographers out there that puts her 100% effort into getting the pictures that her clients want! She is open to ideas and works so hard on us spokesmodels! I feel that the goal of the DFP Spokesmodel program is for Dawn to not only give us spectacular pictures to cherish but also to help us become confident and to feel beautiful." ~ Karen

Vivian - McNeil High School

Dawn is different from other photographers as she captures your personality, without making you look surreal. Dawn is a pleasure to work with and she takes all your ideas and interests and portrays them in your images. Even if you walk in without a single idea, your images will still turn out amazing! I feel like the goal of the spokesmodel program is to boost confidence and promote community! I have definitely gained some self-confidence participating in this program! ~Vivian Vu
