Walton House: a storybook garden in Homestead
A swan lake, a coral-rock waterfall and a historic cottage wrapped in tropical garden. It's a private estate, made for intimate, unhurried sessions.
Five acres of garden in one setting
Historic Walton House is a private estate of about five acres in the Redland area. In a few steps you move from water to stone to a porch full of history.
The swan lake
Still water mirrors the gown and the greenery, giving portraits a calm, romantic feel.
Coral-rock waterfall
South Florida's signature stone adds texture and a moving backdrop, nothing like a plain wall.
A 1919 cottage
Its facade and porch give period-style photos, ideal for family or couple portraits.

The best light at Walton House
The canopy filters the sun into lovely dappled light when it's directed well. We work within the time slots the estate offers and plan it with you when you book.
- Morning: soft light on the lake and friendlier temperatures in Homestead.
- Open shade under the trees as the sun climbs: even skin and no squinting.
- Season: November to April is cooler and drier; May to October we pick early hours and keep an eye on showers.
What to wear at Walton House
The garden calls for romance: flowing fabrics, florals and colors that stand out against deep green.
- Gowns in dusty rose, lilac, champagne, white or wine red.
- Use the changing suite for a second look: a gown for the lake, something lighter for the garden.
- Short or bustled trains: there's lawn, stone and paths between spots.
- Bug spray and comfortable shoes for moving around; the photo shoes travel in the bag.
