Reynolda Gardens


The gardens are located in a gorgeous, lush area and fill your photos with lovely blooms most of the year.

I love the variety of colors we can get during different seasons.

There are also beautiful fields surrounding the gardens.

This venue does require an online scheduled appointment as well as a $50 photo permit fee.

All sessions in any area of Reynolda Gardens must be scheduled several weeks in advance.

You're allowed a maximum of 90 minutes reserved on the property during no other weddings or sessions.

You can find more information here.

Brookberry Farms


This is one of my favorite spots in Winston Salem to shoot!

As part of a neighborhood, the main field and building at Brookberry are always so clean and parking is amazing for families of littles. There is plenty of room to run around but lovely architecture as well.

This venue is also available for weddings so it can be very romantic and soft.

There are no appointments or fees required.

Tanglewood Park and Arboretum


This large park is located in Clemmons, NC just outside of Winston.

The park is full of fields, trees, and trails that can be the perfect setting for family photos or portraits.

There is also a lovely Arboretum that fills with tulips in March.

There is a $2 entrance fee or scheduling requirements.

Tanglewood does close at 8PM, so we would have to end your session by then.

Old Salem Museums & Gardens


Step into the history of Moravian culture in Winston-Salem and feel the warmth of the community at Old Salem. There is great variety within this area and much beautiful architecture. In the winter, the Old Salem bridge is lit up with Moravian stars, creating a beautiful backdrop for Christmas cards.

There is a  $50 permit per 90-minute session required to use the grounds, but no scheduling required.
