Living in Texas, I get a lot of requests for Bluebonnet pictures come spring. Typically, this is not a type of session I offer for a few reasons. All of the local areas that typically have any bluebonnets are usually overrun by crowds and those poor bluebonnets don’t stand a chance. You can drive out to Brenham and find some gorgeous spots, but that means piling everyone in the car and driving almost 90 minutes. Also…I have fear of unwanted critters invading our photo sessions. Those gorgeous fields of bluebonnets are home to other wild things I want nothing to do with!

This spring, some of my sweet neighbors asked me to take their family pictures again and celebrate their little guy turning one. They had mentioned it would be cool to if we could manage some bluebonnets, but they too also wanted to stay close to home. I kept my eyes peeled…and stalked social media. It turned out that another client of mine shared an amazing spot not to far from home that had worked great for her two sweet kiddos. She was so kind to share it with me. I was so grateful because it made for the easiest, most perfect little spot for a young family…right in the middle of a neighborhood, but you would have never known. That is, until the session was over, we jumped in our cars and dad was able to quickly get back to work while the rest of us had a short commute home.

We had such a great, easy session. My friends also wanted to include their third child (beautiful June, the Bernese Mountain dog), who is without a doubt the most well behaved dog you will ever meet! She posed! She stayed! She was just happy to be included…you must scroll down and see how perfect she is!
