Spring in Dallas is pure magic—the golden sunlight, the vibrant blooms, and the perfect temperatures make it an ideal season for family photos. As a McKinney family photographer, I love guiding my clients to locations that feel both timeless and personal. If you’re dreaming of a session filled with soft florals, lush greenery, and natural beauty, these five locations are my absolute favorites for springtime photos.
1. Dallas Arboretum – Cherry Blossoms
Spring at the Dallas Arboretum is nothing short of breathtaking. The delicate cherry blossoms create a dreamy, pink-hued canopy. With vibrant tulips, fresh greenery, and charming pathways, this location is a must for families who want a classic yet elegant spring backdrop.
Best for: Families who love floral-filled landscapes and an elevated garden setting.
2. Richardson Wildflowers – A Meadow of Color
If you love natural, organic settings, Richardson’s wildflower fields are a hidden gem. One of my favorite things about being a Mckinney Family photographer is every spring, these fields come alive with bursts of colorful blooms, from bright yellow daisies to delicate bluebonnets. The open, sunlit spaces provide the perfect setting for playful, candid moments with your little ones.
Best for: Families who love nature, open fields, and a relaxed, carefree atmosphere.
3. Timeless Charm in Highland Park
Tucked away in Highland Park, this spot is a small yet stunning location with European-style charm. The stone gazebo, manicured lawns, and blooming flowers make it an elegant and intimate spot for family photos. The classic fountain and surrounding greenery add a touch of old-world romance, making every image feel polished yet effortlessly beautiful.
Best for: Families who want a polished, timeless look with a hint of European charm.
4. Bluebonnets by the Lake – Flower Mound’s Springtime Treasure
Nothing says “Texas spring” like bluebonnets by the lake in Flower Mound. This location offers a breathtaking combination of the state’s beloved wildflowers and serene waterfront views. The contrast of deep blue blooms against the soft ripples of the lake creates a stunning, natural backdrop.
Best for: Families who love classic Texas landscapes and want a mix of wildflowers and water views.
5. Dallas Rose Gardens
The rose gardens bloom beautifully throughout the season. With winding pathways, classic stone accents, and vibrant roses in every shade, this garden offers a soft, romantic aesthetic that never goes out of style.
Best for: Families who appreciate lush gardens and a refined, timeless setting.
