The Pearl is a beautiful spot located downtown with lots of delicious restaurants and fun things to do. Sometimes they have movie nights, and yoga, and on weekends there are Farmers Markets.
The vibe is awesome.
Oh, and there are tons of beautiful spots to take photos. Hence why we booked a session with Areana. I like to take photos, but I only have my phone camera. So on special moments, I love to hire local photographers to take pics.
If you're local, Areana's page is AMG Photography. Follow because she runs specials!
Anyhow, check out this area:

We saw other photographers out taking photos too so it is a popular area. If a photographer is in the spot you want, simply wait a few and then it'll be open. Everyone is polite!
Honestly, if we didn't have to pay for parking, I'd come down with a book and just read somewhere.
There are ducks, geese, and turtles in the water.
Oh, at one point the photographer wanted Natalie to toss her cap in the air. I'm not sure if she got a shot or not because Natalie kept tossing it weird. It was either too high or wayyyy out there.
This is why she did not stick with baseball. She did it one season as a kid and was like, "No thanks." (She'd rather play with the bugs in the outfield. The ball rolled past her so many times.)
After the session, we went to get food at La Gloria. It's a Tex Mex spot and we loved all the decor.
(Oh, and people kept asking Natalie where she bought her dress while we were there. Forever 21. The Betsey Johnson collection. Her boyfriend bought it for her.)
Check out this guy!
(I will do a full review on the restaurant this week.)
Anyhow, if you need a beautiful spot for pictures in the San Antonio area, I'd choose The Pearl!

I'll share the photos from the session when they are ready!
