Birmingham Botanical Gardens Photography sessions are often some of my favorite.
Gorgeous lighting is the first thing I look for when choosing a spot for a photography session. The gardens has beautiful morning and evening light.
Along with gorgeous light the gardens offers ample shade and is a perfect location to start a photo session a little later in the morning or a little earlier in the evening. This session flexibility is especially great for parents with young children who might not make it through a 6pm or later session time.
Whether its sunny, cloudy or even raining there’s always a spot at the gardens to hold a session. The arboretum provides reprieve from rainy days and the many paths are great for bouncing light on cloudy days.
I find the Gardens to be a great spot for all types of photography as there are many spots to photograph and places to sit. Even on the busiest of days there’s always a beautiful spot that hasn’t been taken over by other photographers.
