Where to Take Spring Photos in Dallas

Aprile a Dallas significa che i fiori stanno sbocciando, il clima si sta riscaldando e le giornate si stanno allungando. È il momento perfetto dell'anno per prendere la macchina fotografica e la famiglia per scattare foto degne di Instagram (oseremmo dire di una cornice). Sia che stiate scattando foto per Pasqua, per una vacanza in famiglia o semplicemente perché, Dallas ha un sacco di luoghi che fanno da ottimo sfondo mentre dite cheese.

Parco dei Laghi

Vicino a Uptown

With its spacious grassy parkland, winding walking paths, lily pads, and stone bridges, Lakeside Park is the perfect backdrop for fairy tale inspired photos. The scenic oasis sits on 14 acres of exceptionally landscaped grounds along Turtle Creek. During the beginning of April, the park is especially beautiful because the azalea bushes are in full bloom.

Walk along the curve of Exall Lake and you will stumble upon the whimsical Teddy Bear Park. An eight-foot-tall mama teddy bear and her three cubs sit on the footpath. Visitors can take photos sitting in the lap of the bears making it a great location to take pictures with young children.

Centro Audubon del fiume Trinity

South Dallas

If you want to incorporate real-life animals into your shots, you will have the best chance at the Trinity River Audubon Center, located 10 miles south of Downtown. The center is home to the largest urban bottomland hardwood forest in North America and is also a haven for a vast array of birds, butterflies and other wildlife. The 120-acre nature preserve has multiple spots to snap that perfect shot. Make sure you wear comfy shoes to explore the five miles of nature trails that wind through hardwood forests, ponds, wetlands, and prairie ecosystems.

Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden

East Dallas

The 66-acre botanical garden with its backdrops of White Rock Lake is always a photographer's dream photo shoot location, but the Dallas Arboretum really
shines during the spring. With half-a-million spring-blooming blossoms,
thousands of azaleas and hundreds of Japanese cherry trees, you will quickly
understand why Southern Living named the arboretum as one of, "The Best
Places to See Stunning Spring Blooms Across the South." Put on your Sunday
best and head down to the Arboretum for the quintessential Easter family photos in front of fields of colorful tulips.

Murales di Dallas

Tutti sanno che i murales aumentano il credito di Instagram, quindi se siete alla ricerca di una foto di Pasqua non tradizionale, saltate i parchi e dirigetevi verso Deep Ellum, il Design District o Oak Cliff per posare davanti a uno dei murales più colorati della città. Dallas è piena di murales, quindi non importa quale quartiere esplorerete, probabilmente troverete un murale davanti al quale posare. Il murale Rainbow Corner, color rosa-pesca, a Deep Ellum è perfetto per sfoggiare abiti pasquali pastello, mentre il murale Dandelion - Make A Wish a Uptown è uno sfondo divertente per i più piccoli della famiglia. Infine, il murale di 120 piedi di flora e fauna del Texas a Oak Cliff (vicino all'incrocio tra N. Bishop Avenue e Melba Street) è perfetto per chi vuole mettere in risalto la natura nelle proprie foto senza entrare effettivamente nella natura.

Parco dei Draghi

Oak Lawn

Those looking to add a Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil vibe into their family photos should head to Dragon Park. The secret garden off the Oak Lawn neighborhood is full of overgrown shrubbery, thick green trees and dark grey sculptures of angels, gargoyles and dragons. The lush little neighborhood park is a hidden gem unknown to many local residents, so you are almost guaranteed to have the place to yourself while you stroll around snapping photos.

Parco del lago White Rock

East Dallas

Twice the size of New York City's Central Park, White Rock Lake Park is the crown jewel of the Dallas park system. A three-acre off leash dog park sits on the north end of the lake if you want to incorporate Fido into the family photos.

The nine-mile trail that circles the lake offers several spots to capture a frame-worthy picture of the whole family. For the best lighting, start shooting right before dusk as the colors of the sunset reflect off the lake.
