JC Raulston Arboretum
Beautiful location with many different areas to explore. Works well with young kids who may enjoy walking from spot to spot. The hours of operation change during the year and may impact session time.

NC State Museum of Art
2110 Blue Ridge Rd, Raleigh, NC 27607
Open fields, rocks, trees, fields of sunflowers, walkways - this location offers many different options for a beautiful backdrop, but the park can be crowded, especially in Fall.
520 Ashe Ave, Raleigh, NC 27606
You may not think of Pullen Park for a photo location, but there is gorgeous light here, especially at golden hour at the water. There are some beautiful trees up in the fields as well that make for a greener location.

E. Carroll Joyner Park
701 Harris Rd, Wake Forest, NC 27587
This park is a bit of a drive for my local Cary families, but it is well worth it, in my opinion. It has stunning old buildings, beautiful rows of pecan trees, and open areas for soft light.
