Bluebonnet Season in Texas: The Perfect Opportunity for Your Houston Family Session!

Writer: Polly AcioliPolly Acioli

Updated: Mar 3

Spring in Texas brings a breathtaking spectacle: fields covered in blooming bluebonnets. These iconic flowers paint the landscape blue, creating a stunning backdrop for capturing special family moments. If you’re looking for a unique and memorable "Houston family session," this is the perfect time to schedule your photo session.

When Do Bluebonnet Sessions Take Place?

Bluebonnet season typically occurs between March and April, but the intensity of the bloom varies each year. Finding the perfect field every year is challenging since it’s not guaranteed that we will have a strong season or that the same location used in previous years will be full of flowers. That’s why, before opening bookings, I personally drive to Brenham to ensure we have the perfect spot. Once everything is confirmed, I first announce the sessions in my VIP Client Group and then on social media.

Since the season is unpredictable—sometimes lasting just a week or a little longer—I only take on a limited number of clients to ensure an exclusive and high-quality experience.

If you want the chance to participate in this magical family session, I invite you to join my VIP Client Group or sign up for my waitlist.



Where Do the Sessions Take Place?

Although there are small bluebonnet fields in Houston, they tend to be limited in space and crowded with visitors on weekends. That’s why I host my sessions in Brenham, TX. The drive is worth it, as the fields there are more expansive and provide a much more beautiful setting for your photos.



Types of Sessions Available

I offer two types of sessions during bluebonnet season:

  • Full Session: A private session for your family, lasting between 45 minutes to 1 hour.

  • Mini Session: 30-minute sessions on specific days, with up to three families booked on the same day.

For mini sessions, access to the client closet is not included, but dress rentals are available if desired.


Bluebonnets turn Texas into a breathtaking sea of blue, creating the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments and enchanting photographs.

How to Book Your Session

Once I confirm we have a beautiful field, I first announce the sessions in my VIP Client Group and to my waitlist. Spaces are limited, and bookings are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. To secure your spot, a Booking Fee is required. Your session is only confirmed once this fee has been paid.

Within five days after your session, you will receive access to your online gallery to select your favorite images. The final invoice will be sent after your selection, and the turnaround time for the final edited images is typically between two to three weeks.



What’s Included in the Session?

  • A professional photography session in a stunning bluebonnet field in Brenham

  • Wardrobe guidance to ensure a cohesive look in your photos

  • Option to rent dresses from my client closet (available for mini sessions)

  • Digital gallery for selecting your favorite images



What to Wear for Your Session

To create timeless and elegant portraits, I recommend wearing neutral and soft tones such as beige, white, light blue, and pastels. Flowy dresses for moms and coordinated outfits for kids create a harmonious look. Avoid loud patterns that may compete with the natural beauty of the flowers.



Best Days and Times for Photos

Weekdays are the best time to photograph, as the fields are less crowded, providing a calm environment without distractions or people in the background. Sunset is the ideal time for capturing the golden, soft light that makes your photos even more stunning.



Fine Art Editing

My sessions are fine art, which means I use top-of-the-line photography equipment and spend hours editing each image to perfection. Every detail is carefully refined to ensure a sophisticated and timeless result.

If you’d like to secure your spot for this unique experience, sign up to receive notifications about when bookings open! Bluebonnet season is short, so don’t miss the opportunity to create beautiful, lasting memories with your family in one of Texas' most breathtaking landscapes.
