Hiking around, climbing trees and stick fights
When it’s time to choose a location for your Family Photo Session, one of the questions I ask is: “What part of town do you live in?”
And because of all their recent long distance travel for kids’ sports and other extracurricular activities filling their weekends, this family wanted a spot close to home.
Knowing they wanted a nature setting and lived in Circle C, it was an easy choice on where to go. We met out at Circle C Metropolitan Park and explored the trails and creek area for their Family pictures.
And since it is a park after all, besides posing, there was tree climbing, kicking of soccer balls and stick battles.
Tips for Family Photo Sessions at Circle C Park
- PARKING: I like to park in the first tiny lot you come to when you enter (though if it fills up, you can continue on and park near the sports fields – which is also where the park restrooms are)
- TRAILS: From the parking lot, you can go left or right on the trails. Both directions have scenic backdrops. There’s also a small wooded area down by Slaughter Creek that runs through the Park.
- BLUEBONNETS: This park is known for having lovely patches of bluebonnets in late March/early April.
- KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR: You might have to dodge some dog poop, cactus and sticky burrs when going off the trail
