Amelia Earhart Park: lakes and countryside close to home

Lakes that mirror the sky, open meadows and a little farm with countryside charm. A big, family-friendly park just minutes from home in Hialeah.

Space, water and a rural touch

Amelia Earhart Park is a county park between Hialeah and Opa-locka, with several lakes and the Bill Graham Farm Village, a farm that recalls Miami-Dade's agricultural past.

Lakes with reflections

At sunset the water turns into a golden mirror behind you.

Open meadows

Plenty of room to run, twirl in your dress or fit the whole family in one frame.

Farm charm

Barns and wooden fences make a rustic backdrop, far from the typical Miami shot.

Sessions that feel like home

Family

Grandparents, parents and kids together outdoors, in a place where many families already have memories.

Quinceañera

The gown glows against green and water; ideal for an outdoor session close to home, before or after the studio.

Maternity

A long gown by the lake at sunset: calm images full of air and light.

The best light at Amelia Earhart

It's an open park with little shade on the meadows, so low sun is everything. We set the time with you based on what the park allows that day.

  • Late afternoon: golden hour over the lakes, our favorite here.
  • Early morning: fresh light and a quieter park, ideal with little ones.
  • Season: November to April is cooler and drier; May to October we plan around heat and afternoon storms.
  • Near the lakes there can be mosquitoes and wildlife: bring repellent, and we keep a safe distance from the water's edge.

What to wear at Amelia Earhart

The landscape is green and open, with rustic wood at the farm. Warm tones and soft colors look natural here.

  • Families: white, beige, denim blue and one accent like mustard or terracotta.
  • Quinceañeras: gowns in pink, champagne, lavender or light blue.
  • For the farm, a more country look: a cotton dress, hat or boots.
  • Comfortable shoes for walking across grass between spots.

You arrive ready; we coordinate

Some locations require a reservation, permit or venue fee; we confirm the current rules and coordinate it when you book.

  • We check the park's requirements for photographers and whether the farm area is available for photos.
  • Any location or parking fee is listed separately, in writing, in your quote.
  • Hair and makeup with our team before you leave, so you're ready for golden hour.

Pair it with another location or the studio

From here it's easy to add historic architecture in Miami Springs, or stop by the studio for formal portraits in a second dress.
