This park is truly a gem! As a Dallas Fort Worth family photographer, I absolutely love working in this park! The old barns on the property are stunning and add so much character to any photoshoot. They're also a great backdrop for capturing that rustic, country feel. The open fields are perfect for creating a natural, free-spirited look, and the fences on the property have a unique charm that can't be replicated elsewhere. But my favorite part of this park has to be the wooded area. It's so peaceful and serene, and the light filtering through the trees creates a magical atmosphere that's perfect for capturing intimate moments. Although there is an entry fee of $7 per adult, it's worth every penny to access such a versatile and beautiful location.

Marti Van Ravensway Park

Nestled near Lake Arlington, this park is a dream location for any Dallas Fort Worth family photographer. With its beautiful colors that change throughout the year, unique features such as a giant rock, forested areas, and open spaces, it offers so much variety in just one location. And the best part? Just around the corner is the Field, followed by another park with great rocks, tree-lines, and a picturesque lake. We love that we can capture stunning shots in all three locations during a single session. Plus, it's conveniently located near our studio, making it easy to combine studio and outdoor sessions on the same day.

airfield falls park

As soon as you enter this Fort Worth Park, you're greeted by a giant, stunning willow tree that provides a beautiful natural backdrop for photos. From there, you can take a short walk to the waterfall area, which features a cascading flow of water over rocks and creates a tranquil atmosphere. Depending on the weather, the waterfall can be more or less powerful, but it always adds a unique touch to any portrait session. There are also plenty of other scenic spots to explore, including a field, trees, and rocks. I love how much variety this location has, and how easy it is to capture different moods and aesthetics all in one session. It's no wonder that this park is a favorite among my clients and me alike.

gardens

The Botanical Gardens in Grapevine is a dream space, offering free use for portraits amidst its beautifully manicured surroundings. It's the ideal location for capturing both formal and casual vibes, with numerous pockets of picturesque landscapes that lend themselves to a variety of looks. One of my favorite times to visit the Botanical Gardens is in the Spring and Fall, when the foliage is at its peak. The gardens come alive with vibrant shades of green, and the shade trees offer a welcome respite from the warm sun. Its tranquil spaces, stunning backdrops, and natural splendor make it the perfect location for creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

Downtown Fort Worth is the perfect location for those seeking a blend of old-town charm and modern architecture. The crosswalk featuring the courthouse in the backdrop, is an ideal spot for capturing a timeless yet contemporary vibe.
Just around the corner is the serene Fort Worth Water Gardens, a tranquil escape from the urban buzz. We recommend a combination of these locations in a single session for the ultimate photoshoot experience!

Downtown Dallas is a vibrant location that we love for its colorful and playful graffiti. The Fabrication Yard is a must-see spot, with its walls completely covered in graffiti. This creates a unique and exciting backdrop for capturing fun and creative portraits. It's the perfect spot to pose in a beautiful dress and add a touch of edginess to your photoshoot.

1. Say Hello

2. select your clothing

We LOVE this part!

We recommend starting by going through your closet and selecting 3 items that make you feel confident and beautiful. Then, coordinate with the people in your photoshoot by adding complementary pieces. We suggest choosing 2-4 colors that will be present throughout everyone's outfits.

For a more casual vibe, choose khaki shorts with polos or dressy tank tops and short sleeves in spring and summer colors. For a dressier look, opt for khaki pants and button-down short-sleeve shirts.

In the fall, go for dark jeans paired with darker tones. Dress it up with black pants and button-down long-sleeve shirts.

We have a FANTASTIC collection of over 150 Couture Gowns & Crowns for children up to size 14 that can be used to complement formal family portraits. Let us help you create a stunning collection of portraits that you'll cherish forever.

Our themed sessions typically last 15-20 minutes, depending on the theme, and we'll aim for 5-10 poses.

For our Custom Sessions, you'll have up to 1 hour to outfit change, bring special props, and invite friends and family. This is the perfect option if you're looking for a full-service portrait session and want to ensure you get everything you're hoping for.
