The Fort Worth Stock Yards is a excellent place to consider for families, models or senior portraits. The natural organic feel of the cobblestone streets, the old vintage wooden stables and the photography friendly environment makes it a pleasant place to not just bring your clients to work but also your family for a day of fun and unforgettable memories.

• There is a cost to park. The cost ranges from $5-7.

• I am not aware of any shooting restrictions.

• Stockyard management has always been accommodative of professional photographers using their facilities.

The Fort Worth Stock Yards is rated 5 out of 5 stars.

Sundance square

Sundance Square is a beautiful place to visit and is both family and couple friendly.  Clean and scenic it's a great place to capture fun family photos, graduate portfolios and model imagery.  If you are a professional photographer looking to shoot there BEWARE.  The charge to shoot in the square is now $1000 and you'll want to send in your request 2 weeks in advance.  Unfortunately the usage fee will deter most.  As an alternative you'll want to look at Dallas or surrounding metroplex for that downtown look.

Alternative places to visit and shoot in Fort Worth:

• 7th Street Bridge
