Why Washington Oaks Gardens State Park?

Nestled along the coast, Washington Oaks Gardens offers a stunning array of natural beauty and historical charm. This hidden gem boasts 425 acres of lush gardens, scenic trails, and breathtaking ocean views, making it an ideal setting for family portraits.

Capturing the Magic of Spring

Spring is a time of renewal and vitality, and what better way to celebrate than with a family photo session in the midst of blooming flowers and radiant sunshine? With my garden sessions, I take a light and airy approach to my shooting style as well as my editing in post-production because it perfectly compliments spring, capturing warmth and joy.

Choosing the Right Wardrobe

When planning your spring family portraits in the garden, consider incorporating light colors that reflect the freshness of the season and the sunlight that we're blessed with during the mornings here on the coast. Beginning with white clothing as your base, soft hues like nude pink, sky blue, mint green, and even pale yellow are all perfect for creating a cohesive and harmonious look. Opt for flowy fabrics and lightweight layers that add movement and texture to your photos. Floral prints and subtle patterns can also add visual interest without overpowering the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Making Memories That Last a Lifetime

Beyond just capturing beautiful images, a family photo session at Washington Oaks Gardens is an opportunity to create lasting memories with your loved ones. Spend the day exploring the park together, picnicking amidst the flowers, or playing games on the expansive lawn. These candid moments of connection and joy are often the ones that hold the most meaning and resonance in years to come. And afterwards, take the kids across A1A to the beach! Washington Oaks not only boasts gorgeous, colorful gardens, but they also have a private beach for all to enjoy.

Preserving Your Precious Moments

Once your photo session is complete, cherish and preserve your memories by creating stunning prints, albums, or wall art to display in your home. Every time you pass by these images, you'll be transported back to that magical spring day spent amidst the beauty of Washington Oaks, surrounded by the ones you hold dear.
