Bob Jones Nature Center Family Photography

Bob Jones Nature Center is one of the most popular spots in Southlake, TX for photography and has become my most requested location for families and seniors. Some folks don’t even know it’s there but, once they discover it, they are always glad to go. It has easy trails, open fields and a definite photographic gem – the classic red barn. That barn is what we want, so keep it casual and wear your favorite jeans and cowboy boots.  Bring a hat, if you have one.

Every time I go there for a shoot, I am invited to respond to the seasonal changes. Sometimes the wildflowers are out and add a pop of color.

Sometimes the ivy is awake and compliments the red barn with contrasting green. Sometimes the ivy sleeps, but still adds interest and texture to our background.

In the winter, when the fields and trees are bare, the Nature Center holds it’s charm and photographs beautifully. My camera loves the backdrop of a grey with a warm sun.

Taking a tour around the barn, it looks great from every angle.

Whatever the season, I can always find a rich backdrop at the Nature Center for your portraits. The nature and the ol’ barn say, ” Texas!”  There is room to move around and play, which is important with large family groups and young children.  So now that you can imagine your family here at this setting, you don’t have to wait for the fall holiday rush for photographs because it is ready for you all year round.

I always love to catch the golden hour when the sun lowers behind the trees.
