Looking for the perfect place for a relaxed, natural family photoshoot near Toulouse? Let me introduce you to one of my absolute favorite locations: Parc du Cabirol in Colomiers.
Just a short 15-minute drive from Toulouse, this peaceful and photogenic park offers everything a family photographer dreams of — a serene pond, beautiful trees, open meadows, quiet walking paths, and a surprising calmness that’s often hard to find so close to the city. Whether you’re a local or visiting the area on vacation, Parc du Cabirol is a wonderful choice for capturing memories with your loved ones.
Why I Love Photographing Families in Parc du Cabirol
As a family photographer based in the Toulouse region, I always seek out locations that allow families to feel relaxed, move freely, and forget the camera is even there. Parc du Cabirol ticks all those boxes and more.There are no crowds, especially during weekday mornings or golden hour evenings, which means children can run, parents can play, and we can all enjoy the moment without distractions or background noise. This natural environment lets your personalities shine through, which is exactly what makes each session unique and meaningful.Over the years, I’ve done countless sessions here — from maternity and newborn to large family reunions. It’s a versatile location, adapting beautifully to any style or mood you want for your photos.
Best Time of Year for a Family Session
Although Parc du Cabirol is lovely year-round, summer is truly my favorite time to shoot here.In summer, the grass is lush and green, the light is golden and warm, and children can enjoy barefoot walks near the pond or under the shade of tall trees. The sunset light filters through the trees perfectly for those golden hour shots that make everyone look like they’ve stepped into a fairytale.
What Makes This Location So Great for Families?
- Pond & Bridge: The park’s central pond adds a romantic and natural element to photos. There’s also a small bridge that’s perfect for posing or candid portrait and walking shots.
- No Crowds: Unlike more central parks in Toulouse, Parc du Cabirol is quiet and relaxed. This makes a huge difference for children (and adults!) who may feel nervous in front of the camera.
- Open Spaces: There’s room to run, jump, and play — essential for natural family photos, especially with younger children.
- Tree-Covered Paths: Ideal for shaded shots and soft light during midday sessions.
- Convenient Parking: Easy access and plenty of parking just at the entrance — no long walks with toddlers or baby bags required.
- Close to Toulouse: You can enjoy a quick family shoot without needing to spend hours in transit.
What to Wear for Your Session
In a natural park setting, soft neutrals and earthy tones work best — think beige, pale blue, sage green, soft yellow, or dusty pink. But don’t stress too much! I’ll help guide you if you’re not sure. I also recommend avoiding overly busy prints or logos.Barefoot children running through the grass? Absolutely. Flowy dresses catching the breeze? Yes, please.
