Cibalo Nature Center
140 City Park Rd, Boerne, TX
Cibalo Nature Center is one my favorite locations. This huge nature park never disappoints, even on a cloudy day. It has a variety of backdrops, from tall, Cyprus trees along the creek to wispy grass. It’s a stunning location at sunset!

Espada Park
1750 SE Military Drive
This park is my little hidden gem. The beautiful San Antonio River flows down into the South Side of San Antonio. This spot has an area with rocks that you can explore with your kiddos, and there’s a beautiful field of tall, wispy grass that the sun sets behind, making for stunning images!
This location is great if you don't want to drive so far. It's a hidden gem right here in South San Antonio.

Phil Hardberger Park
13203 Blanco Rd, San Antonio, TX 78216
Phil Hardberger Park is a beautiful park in North San Antonio. It definitely gives me Cibalo Nature Center vibes with a field of tall, wispy grass, so if you love Cibalo but don’t want to drive to Boerne, this is a great option.

The Beach
Corpus christi or port aransas, texas
The beach is one of my favorite places, and it makes for the most beautiful backdrop for maternity and family photos! This location is a great option for sunrise photos, but sunset can also be done. At our Texas beach, the sun rises behind the water, and sets behind the sand dunes, so depending on what you prefer, this location is a gem for photos almost any time of year in Texas!

Other family milestones
The Pearl Brewery
303 Pearl Pkwy #300
The Pearl Brewery is in central San Antonio and has more of an urban feel. It’s has a lot of variety, and there’s often a lot of people walking around. The San Antonio Riverwalk runs through the area where there’s beautiful spots with waterfalls.
This is a great spot during the holidays because the Christmas lights are on and they have a huge tree in the middle.
