Top Walnut Creek Photography Locations
When practicing the art of photography some people struggle with picking the right subject matter. As residents of the Walnut Creek Area, we are very fortunate to have a diverse set of locations available for any type of photo study. Many of these locations work well regardless if you are doing a portrait session, professional headshots, practicing macro photography, refining your Landscape photography work, or just getting to know your camera by photographing birds or other wildlife.
Here are just three of our Top Locations in Walnut Creek for Photo Shoots.
Heather Farm Park, 301 N. San Carlos Dr. Walnut Creek, CA 94596
Heather Farm Park is an amazing location for portrait sessions, macro photography, and photographing wildlife. Heather Farm has both a man-made lake and a natural pond. Both have ducks that inhabit the water areas and also a number of other birds. Families and children are often playing in the area. If you want to photograph some dogs running free, there is an off leash dog park in the rear along with an Equestrian Center. The Rose Garden is probably the most scenic location of Heather Farm Park and is open to the public on most days as park of "The Gardens at Heather Farm." The Gardens will occasionally host weddings and other special events on weekends.
