Perfect for Memphis families who love open spaces, water views, and golden sunsets.
Shelby Farms Park is one of Memphis’s most scenic spots for family photography, boasting over 4,500 acres of meadows, lakes, and tree-lined trails. As a Memphis family photographer, we love the variety this park offers, from the rustic boardwalks to the wide-open fields that catch the evening light just right.
Best Time for your Session
Golden hour (about an hour before sunset) is simply magic here. The light reflects off Patriot Lake and gives everything a warm, soft glow that flatters every skin tone.
What to Bring
We will bring a blanket for your seated poses and you should bring some simple snacks for the kids. A small toy or bubbles can also help capture genuine smiles during those candid moments.

If you love this look but live along the coast, similar vibes can be found with a 30A photographer at Eden Gardens State Park or a Destin photographer at Henderson Beach State Park- both offer that same peaceful, nature-filled energy.
