Do you have active kids who won’t want to sit still for family photos? (Honestly: this is most kids). If so, you may want to consider Bull Creek for your photo session. We will take some standing and sitting shots – but there are also lots of fun places to explore and things to do there. And if the kids are happy, then the parents are happy and then the photographer is happy. 🙂
Top 10 Things to Do at Bull Creek with Kids
(during a family photo session)
- Name as many Pokemon characters as you can in 1 minute (this is a game I play to get those sitting down shots)
2. Run ahead of your parents (which can also lead to running back to your parents until you tire of this game)
3. Throw stones in the water
4. Look for animals in the water
5. Look thoughtful while eating mango snacks (choice of snack may vary 😉 )
6. Use the remote controlled fart machine (another way to get those posed shots)
7. Climb rocks
8. Climb fences
9. Look for fossils in the rocks
10. Snuggle with mom or dad
So if this location sounds like a good fit, keep it in mind for your own family photo session. Bull Creek works well all year long.

1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?
I met Stephanie when our children were in pre-k together. During the classroom’s holiday parties, Stephanie set up a photo booth, and took amazing photos of my kids (being their rambunctious selves!) This summer, we spent so many days and evenings at the neighborhood pool together, and again, she snapped so many great photos of the kids splashing around. I am so excited to see how our family photos turn out.
2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?
We really enjoyed hanging out at the park together and watching the boys play. I also had a bit of fun picking out everyone’s outfits!
3. What advice would you give to other families planning a photo session?
Try and relax- our kids were not on their best behavior and didn’t listen very well, which stressed me and my husband out a bit. We should have had a few better bribes. In hindsight, I wish we had been a little more easy going. I am sure the kids fed a bit off our negative energy. I am guessing the best pictures will be when we let the kids be themselves.
4. Anything else you’d like to add?
October weather in Texas is so unpredictable! We really got lucky! Also, Stephanie is so sweet and creative. She has young kids herself, so really knows how to engage the littles, and has tons of patience!
