Pfluger Park – Family Photo Session
Family Photos in Pflugerville, soccer shots and all four dogs | Austin Family Photographer
For this family photo session, the mom had a few requests. She wanted a nature spot with water. She also wanted to include her four dogs for part of the time.
So when discussing locations, we picked a spot where they could quickly drive home, get the dogs and then return to the park to finish out their session.
How cute are all of their dogs!
This meant we met up at Pfluger Park and took photos along Gilleland Creek. This public park, with over 30 acres of trails and fields, made a great background. And halfway through the photos, the parents left to get the “pack” and the kids got to show me their soccer skills.

- PARKING: There is a lot at the entrance to the park off of City Park Road.
- OPERATING HOURS: The park is open from 5am-10pm.
