As we enter the dog days of August here in the Raleigh area, I just wanted to put it out there to let you know that if your thinking about engagement photos there is no better time then right now to reserve your Autumn session date in my book.
If you'd like to show off some beautiful Fall colors in your portraits, then my best suggestion is to reserve a shoot date here in the central part of North Carolina around the first to the second week of November.
By the way, if you've got someplace special in mind, I am happy to go wherever you'd like to hold your engagement photography session, but if you are unsure of where to go, I have a few suggestions...
Fred Fletcher Park https://www.raleighnc.gov/parks/content/ParksRec/Articles/Parks/FredFletcher.html
The JC Ralston Arboretum http://jcra.ncsu.edu
Yates Mill Farm Park http://www.wakegov.com/parks/yatesmill/Pages/default.aspx
Harris Lake Park http://www.wakegov.com/parks/harrislake/Pages/default.aspx
Pullen Park http://www.raleighnc.gov/parks/content/ParksRec/Articles/Parks/Pullen.html
* Pullen Park is very, very, very, very BUSY on the weekends and parking may (*definitely will) be a challenge. That being said this is a fun place to capture photos, especially on the paddleboat. Always schedule an engagement shoot here on weekday mornings, the earlier the better!
The campus of NC State University http://www.ncsu.edu/belltower/
Bass Lake Park https://www.hollyspringsnc.us/320/Bass-Lake-Park
Durham & Chapel Hill locations
Sarah P. Duke Gardens https://gardens.duke.edu
* Duke Gardens require's a permit, an appointment & charges a rather steep fee to clients who want to take photos here!
