Onde tirar fotografias de Páscoa em Dallas

abril em Dallas significa que as flores estão a desabrochar, o tempo está a aquecer e os dias estão a ficar mais longos. É a altura perfeita do ano para pegar na máquina fotográfica e na família para tirar algumas fotografias dignas do Instagram (atrevemo-nos a dizer dignas de serem emolduradas). Quer esteja a tirar fotografias para a Páscoa, para umas férias em família ou simplesmente porque sim, Dallas tem imensos locais que são um excelente pano de fundo enquanto diz "cheese".

Parque de Lakeside

Perto do centro da cidade

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 de Audubon do Rio 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.

Arboreto e Jardim Botânico de Dallas

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.

Murais de Dallas

Toda a gente sabe que os murais aumentam a credibilidade do Instagram, por isso, se estiver à procura de uma fotografia de Páscoa não tradicional, ignore os parques e dirija-se a Deep Ellum, ao Design District ou a Oak Cliff para posar em frente a um dos murais mais coloridos da cidade. Dallas está repleta de murais, portanto, não importa o bairro que você explore, provavelmente encontrará um mural para ficar em frente. O mural Rainbow Corner em tons pastéis e rosa-pêssego em Deep Ellum é perfeito para exibir vestidos de Páscoa em tons pastéis, enquanto o mural Dandelion - Make A Wish em Uptown é um cenário divertido para os pequenos da família. E, finalmente, o mural de 120 pés de comprimento da flora e fauna do Texas em Oak Cliff (perto do cruzamento da N. Bishop Avenue e Melba Street) é perfeito para aqueles que querem destacar a natureza em suas fotos sem realmente entrar na natureza.

Parque do Dragão

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.

Parque do 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.
