The Love Pic Love Guide
Where to go, what to wear, and when to book — for real, unposed portraits your family will actually recognize.
A Quick Note From Erick
I photograph families the way the day actually feels — the belly laughs, the little hands, the in-between moments no one thought to pose for.
This is everything I share with my own clients before a session: my favorite corners of Dallas, how to dress so you look like yourselves (only better), and the timing that makes it all easy.
Where To Go
A small, storybook park with a gazebo and manicured greenery. Intimate and classic — for families who want timeless over trendy.
Best light: the hour before sunset.
The whimsical one — the Pegasus and Teddy Bear sculptures, a stone bridge, ducks on Turtle Creek. Kids love it, which means the smiles are real.
Perfect for young families with little ones.
Leafy and natural with a gentle creek — refined greenery without leaving the city.
At its best in spring and fall.
Open, natural, golden. Tall grasses, water, and big sky for that warm, documentary feel.
The best golden-hour spot on this list.
Color, murals, brick, and edge. For families and couples who want something bold and a little unexpected.
Overcast days make the colors pop.
Clean architecture, modern lines, urban-elegant. Sophisticated and timeless.
Find shade between the buildings midday.
The most personal of all — morning light, pajamas, the nursery, the happy mess that means you actually live there. Especially perfect for newborns.
Book a morning; the light is softest.
The Whole Secret
Timing
And The Kids
The best photos come from letting kids be exactly who they are — so bring snacks, skip the pre-session lecture, and let me do the rest. The wonder and the meltdowns both make the gallery.
If this feels like your kind of session, I'd love to hear about your family.
