Springtime in Winston Salem is pure magic—and there’s no better place to soak in that beauty than Tanglewood Gardens. As a family photographer based in Winston Salem, I can confidently say that spring photo sessions at Tanglewood are some of the most breathtaking of the year. With its blooming dogwoods, vibrant tulips, and soft golden light filtering through fresh green leaves, it’s the perfect backdrop for timeless, light and airy portraits that you’ll treasure forever.
1. A Natural Wonderland in Full Bloom
Tanglewood Park comes alive in the spring. Its expansive gardens offer a wide variety of blooming flowers, lush greenery, and winding paths that look like they came straight out of a fairytale. The soft, pastel colors of spring are perfect for a light and airy photography style that highlights joy, connection, and natural beauty.
2. Picture-Perfect Lighting
Spring in North Carolina offers dreamy, diffused light—especially during golden hour. Whether you’re chasing the morning sun or wrapping up the day with a golden sunset, the natural light at Tanglewood Gardens flatters every skin tone and creates that soft, glowing look that’s so popular in modern family photography.
3. Room to Play and Be Yourselves
Family photo sessions should be relaxed and fun. With plenty of open space and beautiful scenery, Tanglewood gives kids room to run and explore while I capture candid, authentic moments. Some of the sweetest photos come when families are just being themselves—laughing, snuggling, and enjoying the moment.
To really lean into the dreamy, ethereal look of a spring photo session, I recommend soft neutral tones like creams, blush pinks, dusty blues, and light pastels. Flowy dresses, linen shirts, and layers with texture photograph beautifully in this setting. I’m always happy to help you style your family—ask me about my session prep guide!
