CIBOLO NATURE CENTER
Location: Boerne, TX
Cibolo Nature Center is probably my favorite locations (along with many other photographers)! Although it can get busy, it never disappoints even on a cloudy day. It is a huge nature park with lots of tall, wispy grass and a river with huge trees along it. It’s a stunning location at sunset!

The Pearl Brewery is also 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, if you don’t mind. Nearby, you can go down to the San Antonio River, where there’s beautiful spots with waterfalls.

Landa Library is a little, quaint place with a beautiful arched building with a few hidden nooks. This location is great for graduation photos and great for mini sessions because it’s small and you don’t have to walk a lot. It is wheel chair accessible. There is also a play ground, which is great to let the kids play after the session for some great candid photos.

Phil Hardberger Park is a gem in San Antonio. It definitely gives me Cibolo Nature Center vibes with a field tall, wispy grass, so if you love Cibolo but don’t want to drive to Boerne, this is a great option.
