Austin Senior Photos
By Tess Leslie Photography
About Tess
I am a proud Texas Ex who loves photographing UT Austin seniors. With your help, I create more than just posed photos: Together, we build your legacy with timeless, authentic, and joyful storytelling.
Hiya! I’m Tess Leslie,
an Austin-based photographer.
Like you, I attended and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. The 40 Acres holds some of my fondest memories. It's where I met my best friends and my husband; where I made some of my favorite memories of all time. It's where I honed my skills as photographer and put down the roots of the business I run today. It's where I grew up.
I am honored to return to UT Austin year after year to photograph seniors walking the same paths I once frequented. I love watching the university change, running into my favorite professors, and watching my work evolve as I get older. I have photographed dozens of seniors on and off campus, and it never gets old.
And my journey started very similarly to yours.
My Senior Portraits
I still treasure these photos to this day, and love looking back at them and seeing how much me and my husband have changed.
Diversity & Inclusion
In my personal Life and at Tess Leslie Photography, I am an advocate for equality — regardless of race, gender identity, sexuality, or physical & mental ability.
I stand against discrimination and racism of any kind. Tess Leslie Photography is LGBTQ+ Inclusive Certified by EquallyWed. I am dedicated to actively fighting to make this world safer for everyone. That's why most of our contracts include an inclusion rider and part of our profit is donated to Austin-area local non-profits Future Front Texas, Out Youth, and the Austin Justice Coalition.
