Your Legacy Starts Here

A Couple’s Session at Reynolda House in Winston-Salem, NC


Annie Lievens Photography

 

Before there are babies, before the bedtime routines and backpacks by the door — there is just the two of you. And that part of your story matters deeply.


This couple’s session at the Reynolda House Museum of American Art in Winston-Salem, NC was a quiet, elegant celebration of the beginning of a legacy. Nestled among the estate’s manicured gardens, graceful architecture, and timeless pathways, we captured the love, laughter, and connection that started it all.


As a photographer, I often work with families — children running through fields, babies wrapped in heirloom blankets. But I’m always drawn back to this truth: your family began with just the two of you. That deserves to be documented too.


There’s something powerful about pausing to honor this chapter — whether you're newly married, celebrating an anniversary, or simply choosing to preserve your love in this season. These images are part of your legacy. They are the before, the foundation. One day your children and grandchildren will look back on these portraits and see where it all began.


The Reynolda House offered the perfect backdrop for this session — refined, classic, and full of quiet romance. We wandered the gardens as golden light filtered through the trees, capturing authentic moments of joy, reflection, and connection. The result: a gallery that feels both timeless and personal, full of depth and story.

Your relationship is the heart of your growing family story!

You deserve to be in front of the camera, not just behind it.

These portraits become part of your shared legacy.

It’s a beautiful way to celebrate milestones, anniversaries, or simply now.
