A few considerations for family photos at Lair O' The Bear

  • You should plan on arriving early, parking is super limited and sometimes you need to wait for a spot, especially if it's at peak time
  • It's a great option for spring, summer and fall photos. It can also work for winter, but depends a bit on recent weather!
  • There are bathrooms available, they sometimes run out of soap so best to bring hand sanitizer just in case!

Maternity photos also help commemorate this moment in time with your children before they are promoted to big brother or big sister.
