Decks stacked up a cliff, all of them pointed west.
5 frames·The Oasis on Lake Travis, Austin
The Oasis is built into the bluff above Lake Travis on tiers of open deck, every one of them facing the water and the sunset. It is a restaurant rather than a venue, which means the light is on a timetable you do not control and the deck is shared — so a session here is planned around one window and worked quickly inside it.

Three generations on the top tier, color still in the sky behind them.
We had about fifteen minutes of that sky and you got everybody in it.
