Spring in Texas means it is time for 2021 Dallas Bluebonnet pictures! We generally start to see native bluebonnets in Dallas in late March but with our big freeze this year, the first blooms did not come out until early April. You still have plenty of time to find your perfect Dallas bluebonnet patch! You will want to get out and snap some photos before the end of April as the flowers will start to disappear going into the hotter months. Looking for the perfect spot to find our beautiful state flower in North Texas? Check out one of these destinations known to be the best spots for Dallas bluebonnets. Share your adventures with me on Facebook or Instagram by tagging @EricaGrandinPhotography!
Want to be sure you (Mom or Dad!) get a chance to be in the photo also?! Let’s book a bluebonnet mini-session and get the whole family in with the beautiful bluebonnets. Reach out to me for details and to schedule.

This trail spans East to West across Plano. You can find a big field of bluebonnets at the intersection of W Spring Creek Pkwy and Custer Rd behind the 7 Eleven. This is a popular spot and you will want to be sure to keep your distance from other families to practice social distancing.
