Here are a few of my favorite Locations in Dallas-Fort Worth


DFW has many beautiful locations for photo sessions. Here are my top 5 locations in no particular order. I tend to use mostly natural light which has most of my sessions starting close to sunrise or sunset for that beautiful golden hour light. Many of my clients love the look of nature but I occasionally get to play in the city as well.

Farmers Branch, TX

This garden is located at 2610 Valley View in Gussie Field Watterworth Park and is home to a number of different rose varieties. The location has many spots to capture the right poses and candid moments of you and your family. it just one of the many parks found in Farmers Branch, Just north of I 635 and east of I 35E.

The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden has earned wide national recognition for its horticultural excellence. Located on the shores of White Rock Lake, This location is expansive, giving us plenty of spots to stop and grab images along the route. You will need walking shoes for this one.

Downtown Dallas, TX

The Arts District is Downtown’s cultural hub, known for the strikingly angular Meyerson Symphony Center, the lavish Winspear Opera House, and the Dallas Museum of Art. Here we can play with a bit of city scape and nice angular shapes. We can get a bit of both artsy and modern looks right near the center of Downtown Dallas.

Located on the western border of Plano, Arbor Hills Nature Preserve is a 200-acre park featuring vast areas of natural beauty for walking, jogging, hiking, and other outdoor activity. I tend to stay near the east entrance of the park There are some nice open areas and hills to use on a  beautiful day. Although this place is much more busy than ever it is still one of the most requested locations.

As an honorable mention, mostly because I don't get to go out to Fort Worth much. I have the Stockyards and Kimball Art Museum. You get both old Texas as well and modern feel.
