The park is favorable as a portrait photography location because it has a variety of settings, does not have much evidence of human habitation and it is an enjoyable place for families or couples to spend an evening.

During any photography portrait session variety provides clients with a creater number of artistic choices. Coto de Caza is a large park with woods, rolling hills and open fields. This variety of settings allows a photographer great flexibility in putting together an artistic gallery of images because it gives him a great number of choices on how he can mix and match.

The park is designed in such a way that for the most part evidence of human habitation is out of sight. It is either over a hill or hidden behind trees or other vegetation. This allows for a session with a truly rustic country appeal.
Many engaged couples and families alike often will linger at the park after their session to enjoy the surroundings. Children like to see the deer, squirrels and other wildlife that can be found in abundance. Couples enjoy taking walks along the many diverse trails. Thus, many families and engaged couples double their portrait session with an enjoyable family outing.
