Please plan to join us on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, for a late afternoon/evening photo shoot at Dallas' iconic Reunion Tower.

If you've never been there, the stunning 360-degree panoramic view of the city from the tower's observation deck must be seen to be believed. From 470 feet above the ground we can see and photograph the scenery for miles in any direction. While the views are spectacular no matter when you visit, they're extra special at sundown.
