Are you dreaming of the perfect family photoshoot but not sure where to do it?
You’re not alone! Finding the right location can turn your family shoot into something truly magical. Let me guide you through some amazing spots in Oklahoma City that will make your photoshoot unforgettable!
Maybe it’s studio style photos…
Or maybe it’s being in a field with a flowy clothing that give the feeling of light and airy.
There are so many options (and some you may have not even considered yet!)
Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with three of the top location ideas right here in Oklahoma City for your dream family photography session!
Parks and Gardens
Parks and gardens offer a peaceful, natural setting that can add a touch of serenity and natural beauty to your photos. Think of the stunning contrast of your lovely family against the lush greenery or the romantic backdrop of a flower garden or autumn leaves in full bloom.
Here are some of my favorite locations:
Will Rogers Park and Gardens
Myriad Botanical Gardens
Scissortail Park
Who is this location right for? This is perfect for family sessions that want to include the whole family and/or pets and those who prefer natural lighting and/or golden hour photos.
Who might want to skip this location? If you’re not a fan of outdoor elements like unpredictable weather or natural backdrops, or if you’re looking for a more controlled environment like a studio, you might want to consider other options.
What should you wear for this environment? For parks and gardens, flowing dresses work beautifully, especially those in soft, pastel colors or floral patterns to complement the natural surroundings.
Home Sweet Home: Indoor Shoots
There’s no place like home for a cozy family photoshoot. Your own space can provide a comfortable and deeply personal backdrop. It’s where you live life, making it a special place specific to your family alone.
These are personally my favorite sessions! I love capturing your family playing and loving on each other in your own space.
Who is this right for? Perfect for those who cherish privacy and comfort, or for when it’s too cold, snowy or too hot to be outside. It’s also ideal if you want to include personal items in your photos.
Who might want to skip this one? If your home doesn’t get much natural light or if you prefer more traditional portraits where everyone is looking and smiling, you might want to choose another option.
What should you wear for this environment? Comfort is key. Soft, cozy outfits or even elegant loungewear can look stunning. Think about including cute slippers or barefoot poses for a relaxed vibe.
Shorelines and Waterfronts
Ok, I know Oklahoma isn’t known for it’s beaches, but our lakes and rivers have so much potential! These areas provides a serene, dreamy setting for photos. The natural light, the sound of waves, and the endless horizon create a magical backdrop.
Who is this right for? Ideal for those who love the water and want a peaceful, natural setting. The beach at sunrise or sunset offers particularly stunning lighting.
Who might want to skip this one? If don’t want to deal with sand, wind and/or bugs a beach location might not be your cup of tea.
What should you wear for this environment? Flowy dresses or skirts work wonderfully against the backdrop of the sea. Think about colors that complement the beach setting like blues, greens, and earth tones.
Oklahoma City offers so many stunning locations for your OKC family photography session!
Whether you’re drawn to the natural beauty of parks and gardens or the comfort of your own home, there’s a perfect spot for every family’s style and preference.
