A Family Session at Bethabara Park – History Meets Natural Beauty
Bethabara Park in Winston-Salem is one of those rare locations that has it all—historic charm, lush green spaces, and the kind of natural beauty that makes every photograph feel timeless. Recently, I had the joy of photographing a beautiful family here, and the setting couldn’t have been more perfect.
The Location
Steeped in history, Bethabara Park offers a unique mix of preserved 18th-century buildings, winding trails, and open fields. It’s a place where you can step back in time while still enjoying the modern-day serenity of nature. From rustic fences and stone pathways to the soft golden glow filtering through the trees, the park offers endless backdrops that bring variety to a session without ever feeling crowded or staged.
The Session
Micha and Reagan wanted something relaxed, authentic, and full of joy—and Bethabara delivered. Their adorable kiddo had room to explore and run, and we captured so many sweet candid moments in between posed shots. One of my favorite parts of photographing families in this park is how the space naturally encourages play and interaction—whether it’s walking hand-in-hand along the trails or sharing a laugh picnicking on the grass. By the time the golden hour hit, the light wrapped around them in the most magical way, creating images that feel both warm and timeless.
Why I Love Shooting at Bethabara Park
Bethabara Park is a dream location for families who want a mix of history and nature in their photos. It’s peaceful and versatile, with so many hidden corners to explore. Whether you’re drawn to the rustic charm of the historic structures, the simplicity of grassy fields, or the beautiful flower gardens, the park allows your family’s personality to shine while giving your session a beautiful, organic backdrop.
If you’re considering your next family session, Bethabara Park is one of my top recommendations—especially if you love the idea of combining history, greenery, and that magical golden light.
