Creative Locations to do a Photoshoot in Houston

The benefit of hiring me as your photographer is, I ABSOLUTELY LOOOVE Houston❤️ And that means I’m passionate about providing you the best service while we photograph in these sweet spots I consider home. These are all my images. There are other locations I have in mind to scout, once I do I may make a second blog post.

Let’s get right into it, here are my favorite locations (so far) to shoot in Houston.

Eleanor Tinsley

I started my photography journey at this park so this location is near and dear to me. Eleanor Tinsley offers a diverse range of backdrops from the Houston skyline to the bridge over Buffalo Bayou. For this location, I recommend shooting during sunrise, because parking can get hectic and the park gets busy in the evening.

2. The Black Labrador

This location is petite, but gorgeous! I love the medieval appeal it has to it; someone mentioned that the architecture reminded them of a traditional German home. This location is very shaded so we are not limited to “golden hour” shoots. When I spoke to staff members walking by, they said photoshoots are allowed during closed business hours.

3. Chapel of St. Basil

Located in the University of Saint Thomas, this location is STUNNING as you can see in the photos. These photos were taken in the middle of the afternoon, around 1:30pm. Most photographers don’t shoot during that time because the light is harsh.

However, I believe the best time to shoot here would be at that scary time lol. The reason is, do you see that beautiful architecture… the wall that looks like a turning page? I believe you can only get those shadows during mid-afternoon. And those bright, beautiful white walls do such a great job at reflecting light!
