Bluebonnet Mini Session Near me
Bluebonnet season is coming soon and its my favorite! I love all things bluebonnets!!! The flowers are gorgeous and this is an absolute MUST Texas tradition!
A few fun facts about bluebonnets and Texas:
- The Lupinus Texensic and Lupinus Subcarnosis (species of bluebonnets) only grow in Texas. That is why they are our state flower!
- Bluebonnets love full sun and can stand up to drought. This makes Texas the perfect place for them to thrive.
- Germination is key, you should plant them in October/November so the rainy winter months can help them grow. Most bluebonnets fields take years to grow in fully.
- They aren’t just blue! While most people think of the blue wildflower when thinking of bluebonnets, they can be found in white and shades of pink and purple.
- Depending on location, bluebonnets look best from late March to mid-April.
- Bluebonnets typically bloom along roadsides first, then fields!
- Its a tradition to have bluebonnet photos! But don’t eat them! They are toxic.
My bluebonnet sessions range from Mid March to the first week of April typically. I am currently booking for end of March (tentative!!) Bluebonnet Mini Session Booking link.

A few tips for preparing for your bluebonnet session:
- Be flexible with dates. Bluebonnets are FINICKY at best. Some years I have shot as early has March 8th and others as late as April 14th! So when booking, know your photographer is waiting for just he perfect amount of blooms for your photos. If we shoot too early there are barely blooms, if we shoot too late, they are all dried looking and seeding.
- Be flexible with attire. Spring in Texas is well…unpredictable at best. I have photographed in some very cold (40s!) and windy days and other years it will be in the 70s and overcast. Plan your spring outfits but you might have to add a pretty knitted sweater over dresses or add sweaters for your boys! You want your kids to be comfortable in the clothing, if they are freezing, it makes for very uncomfortable kids.
- Be flexible with locations. I drive EVERYWHERE in spring, scout the message boards, and go off of word of mouth. Most of the local fields to the Woodlands have been destroyed 🙁 I tend to go further north into Chappell Hill For the best locations.
- Have fun! Don’t stress! Kids pick up on stress, so just go with the flow. If your kid doesn’t want to stare at me and smile, interaction and storytelling photos are perfection. I do a combination of both and if your sweet baby is not having it, lets go smell and laugh in the flowers instead.
