Brookberry Farms
This is by far my favorite spot in Winston Salem to shoot! As part of a neighborhood, the main field ad 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.
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.

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.
The Graylyn Estate & Conference Center
This estate is a stunning backdrop to make elegant photos. I love this spot for businesses, engagements, and formal maternity sessions. This venue does require advanced scheduling and applicable fee payment. They have recently revised the photography policy to allow professional photos to be taken on the grounds. Their rates are as follows and applies to both the interior and exterior: $150 for first hour, +$75 for each additional hour.
Your Own Home
There are some moments that are best captured in your space. Let's remember where these memories were made and where your babies came home to! You spend all your cozy time in this place you love so why wouldn't we spend this time there as well.
