Winter Family Photography Session at Daniel Stowe Botannical Gardens in Belmont, NC

Updated: Mar 21

This is such a sweet little shoot I did with my best friends, Phil & Monica, and their adorable kids Fiona and JP. We did it by the little pond along the drive going into the Daniel Stowe Botannical Gardens. I like this area because it's open and wide with lots of amazing back light. The weather was quite windy and cold but we still got awesome photos.


I always like to say funny things like, "Say cheese burger!" or "JP, say chicken nugget!" to get those genuine funny smiles from kids. Another helpful thing to say to break the ice and get genuine smiles from young children is to ask questions like, "Hey Fi, do I look like a cat or a slimy worm?" It gives them one option to pick and usually makes them laugh super hard in the process...the perfect moment to get the shot!


With portrait photography it's always about good communication and making people feel comfortable in front of the camera.
