WHERE TO HAVE PICTURES TAKEN IN THE PIEDMONT TRIAD AREA OF NORTH CAROLINADeciding what photographer to use for your portraits can be confusing! Deciding where to have your pictures taken shouldn't be as hard. Your photographer should be able to make suggestions, but you may have somewheRe in mind as well. I have a few places that I particularly like to shoot. They have a nice mixture of light and shade, nice trees, buildings, bridges, and settings for pictures. Finding locations you are comfortable shooting is important for photographers. You learn the lighting and best places for showing of your subjects beautifully. Thinking outside the box and finding new locations is good too! My favorie spots in Kernersville and surrounding areas are: HARMON parkThis a beautiful park with shade and natural sunlight. A beautiful Gazebo and landscaped surroundings make a gorgeous fairytale backdrop for bridal portraits. The stone fountain adds a formal flair. Traffic can be an issue since it close to the road, so timing can be important. PAUL Ciener BOTANICAL gardensThis is a beautiful garden with nice size trees and flowers that bloomin Spring and Summer. They ae doing a lot of "growing" at the gardens and the are plans for a lot of different exhibits in the future. Nice feature, if you're "just a friend with a camera" there isn't at photography fee. But, call to make sure there isn't something planned whe you want to go, and make sure to follow their rules about staying out of the beds. They are strict about those rules to protect the growing plants. FOURTH OF JULY PARK, KERNERSVILLEFourth of July Park in Kernersville offers a wide variety of options for shooting families, individuals, kids, and couples. With the old wooden school, beautiful tree lined walking trails, bridges over creeks, grassy open areas, swings and play areas, there are plenty of options for choosing pretty backgrounds. The following aren't bridal portraits or engagement portraits, but they show some of the beautiful settings in the park. TANGLEWOOD PARKTanglewood, in Clemmons, is a photographer's paradise. With a stately manor, barns and horse fields, lakes and fountains, old trains, gardens, natural walking paths, and kids play areas. You can find any setting from just about any picture. There'should a charge to get in the park, but no photography permit is required for standard shoots. Be aware, they start putting up the Christmas lights like in September, so you may need to adjust areas or plan on photoshopping if they are in the way. Also check the website to see when events are planned. I would probably avoid weekends in the summer, the place will be pretty crowded, unless you go really early or really late in the day. OTHER PLACES FOR PICTURES IN THE triadThere are lots of options for outdoor settings. Parks, lakes, public gardens just to name a few. If you want something different, find old dilapidated barns, hay fields, and abandoned old work trucks. Your grandmother has a beautiful rose garden? Fabulous! This time of year, Christmas tree lots, and decorated towns make it easy to add special flare to your photos. Lit streets in small towns can add a fun look to individualize your portraits. Think outside the box, find something that represents you! Find a place that will be special for you and help provide wonderful memories for a lifetime!
