It's Bluebonnet Season! | Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX Portrait Photographer

Here in Texas we look forward to the Wildflower Season in particular the beautiful Bluebonnets that turn our roadsides into an array of color!  The Texas Bluebonnet is our state flower, or at least one of them according to this article.  You will see many cars stopping off the highway with their families trickling out to snap family photos among the blue and white tipped flowers.  This year, apparently won't be the best year for the crops in comparison to 2010 but we were able to find some nice patches in Irving, Texas.
I have fond childhood memories reading the story The Legend of the Bluebonnet, by Tomie dePaola.

If you are interested in Bluebonnet portraits please contact me about scheduling a session.  These beautiful flowers only bloom for a short period of time.  They will reach their peek by the 2nd week of April in North Texas.


Here are a few of my family.

We actually set up a tripod for this shot and I ran with our youngest daughter to sit in the portrait.
