If you’re looking for a gorgeous spot for family photos in Texas, let me introduce you to Cibolo Nature Center! I recently had the chance to photograph a family session there and let me tell you—it’s as dreamy as it sounds.
Nestled in Boerne, just a short drive from San Antonio, Cibolo Nature Center is a hidden gem for outdoor photo sessions. With its mix of lush fields, towering trees, and the gentle Cibolo Creek flowing through, it offers endless possibilities for beautiful backdrops.
Why I Love Photographing at Cibolo Nature Center
One of the best things about this location is how it allows families to relax and just be themselves. Whether it’s kids exploring the trails or families enjoying a quiet moment together under the shade of towering oaks, Cibolo sets the stage for memories that feel natural and authentic.
For this session, their daughter loved wandering the trails and playing among the trees, and her genuine smiles made every photo feel so special. While we didn’t dip into the creek, its serene presence added a touch of charm to the backdrop, making the photos even more magical.
What to Expect When Booking Cibolo Nature Center Family Photos
If you’re considering a session here, here are a few things you’ll love:
1. Variety in Scenery: You’ve got everything from open meadows to shaded woodland paths and even a picturesque creek. It’s like having several photo locations in one.
2. Family-Friendly Atmosphere: The center is perfect for kids who love to explore and enjoy the outdoors.
3. Golden Hour Perfection: The light here during sunset is truly magical, casting a warm glow over everything.
Important to Note:
The Cibolo Nature Center requires a photography permit for any professional or amateur photo session. This permit costs $25 and must be obtained prior to your session. The fee supports the maintenance and preservation of the nature center, so your session also helps protect this beautiful space for others to enjoy.
