Playing in the Park | Austin Family Photographer
Last year I met up with this family at the Blanton Museum for their photo session.
This year we met at Grove Park in Central Austin. Even though the Park has been open since 2018, this is the first photo session I’ve held there.
I definitely plan to suggest this spot to other Seniors and Families who want a nature spot centrally located.

And if you know me, when a location has good trees, I will be encouraging the kids to climb them. I also suggested the mom bring some props that match what her kids are into these days.
Those ended up being some of my favorite individual photos showcasing their guitar, chess and soccer skills.
Tips for Family Photo Sessions at The Grove Park:
- I like to meet by the exercise equipment so the playground equipment isn’t a distraction
- Keep an eye out for dog poop on the main lawn – this park has a lot of four-legged visitors
- Make sure you walk to the back of the park to see the bridge to Shoal Creek
- You can also bring a prop for an activity you enjoy doing (guitar, soccer ball etc.)
