Galena Creek | Portrait Locations
Galena Creek Park is a versatile place for portraits in any season. This park has evergreens year-round, with a lovely creek running through the majority of the park. Whether you want the changing colors in fall, or a shady place to take portraits in the summer, Galena Creek has you covered. There’s also a pond and winding trails to take advantage of here, too!
Fall Examples:
I’ve taken photos here from early fall until late fall…either way, it’s a good bet. There are plenty of evergreens in late fall if the yellow foliage has fallen!
