Top Walnut Creek Location for Fall Family Photos | Rustic & Golden Hour

Every year when fall rolls around, families start asking me the same question: “Where should we take our pictures this year?” And time after time, one Walnut Creek location rises to the top of the list. With its rustic charm, big trees, and that unforgettable golden sunset, it’s no wonder this spot has become a favorite for family, maternity, and couples’ sessions.


What makes this location so special for Walnut Creek family photos? For starters, the windmill. It’s a unique backdrop that adds a little character to your photos. Paired with the old cement staircases, this location feels timeless — almost like stepping into a storybook. And if you time it right, the sun dips low over the fields, washing everything in a golden glow that feels like pure magic.

This Walnut Creek gem is especially stunning in the fall. The warm tones of the dry grass pair perfectly with autumn wardrobes — think cozy neutrals, earth tones, and soft layers. Families love that kids have room to explore and play while I capture those in-between, natural moments.


Whether you’re planning a family session, celebrating a pregnancy with maternity photos, or simply wanting updated portraits, this spot has it all: rustic details, open space, and that golden-hour beauty the East Bay is known for.
