Family + Cake Smash Lifestyle Photography at Sekrit Theater Austin Photographer

Sekrit Theater is an unexpected wonderland. Much more than the iconic greenhouse, there are many old motor vehicles, a piano and bench, a vanity, more iron chairs than you can count, school buses, bicycles, a flower wall, a giant crescent moon with a face painted on it, a container that says “I love you to the moon and back” and many old victorian and craftsman homes. It’s gorgeous.

This was my first time to Sekrit Theater. I spent an hour adventuring around this wonderful play land with a super fun family. I thought it was the perfect venue for a family + cake smash lifestyle session!
