Local group Agarita in San Antonio performing in a green park.

On Saturday, I grabbed my camera and headed to Chris Park in San Antonio to photograph Agarita, a stunning orchestra quartet that deserves every bit of the spotlight. Together my partner, grandmother, and I went along for an adventure. There’s something special about mixing family time with the art of photography, and Chris Park’s tranquil vibe made it the perfect setting. Between the fall breeze and the golden afternoon light, the scene was set, and it was amazing to just sprawl, slow down, and take in everything.


Having Danny and my grandmother there added a unique layer to this outting. The Agarita orchestra and Chris Park provided the perfect mix of urban energy and natural beauty to bring a sense of heaven and peace, albeit for about an hour or so.
