Best Photo Locations in Mocksville Clemmons and Winston Salem NC

One of the most common questions I get from clients is:
“Where should we take our photos?”

And honestly, it’s a great question.

Location plays a huge role in how your images feel. The right setting can make photos look natural, relaxed, and timeless — while also helping everyone feel more comfortable during the session.

After photographing families, seniors, and business owners across Davie County and the Triad for many years, I’ve narrowed down some of my favorite photo locations in Mocksville, Clemmons, and Winston Salem, North Carolina.

These spots photograph beautifully in different seasons and work well for a variety of session types.

Tanglewood Park – Clemmons NC

Tanglewood Park is one of the most popular and versatile photo locations in the area, and for good reason.

It offers:

Open fields with beautiful light
Tree-lined paths
Scenic bridges
Seasonal color year-round

This location works especially well for:

Family photos
Senior portraits
Branding sessions that need a clean outdoor look

Because Tanglewood has so much variety, we can often get multiple “looks” without walking far — which is a big plus for families with kids.

Downtown Mocksville – Mocksville NC

Downtown Mocksville is a great option if you love photos that feel classic, charming, and a little more personal.

This area features:

Brick textures and historic details
Quiet streets with character
A small-town feel that never feels overdone

This location works beautifully for:

Seniors who want something simple and timeless
Branding sessions for small business owners
Families who prefer an understated background

It’s especially lovely in the fall and early spring.

Local Fields and Nature Spots – Davie County NC

Some of my favorite images happen in the simplest locations.

Open fields, tree lines, and quieter nature areas around Davie County create:

Soft light
Natural movement
A relaxed environment for kids

These spots are perfect for:

Young families
Clients who want a more organic look
Sessions where comfort matters more than a “named” location

I often choose these locations based on the season and light conditions leading up to your session.

Reynolda and Surrounding Areas – Winston Salem NC

For clients looking for something a bit more refined, areas around Reynolda and parts of Winston Salem offer a beautiful mix of:

Architectural elements
Manicured outdoor spaces
Natural backdrops

These locations work well for:

Senior photos
Branding sessions
Families wanting a slightly elevated feel

They photograph especially well in spring and fall.

How I Help You Choose the Right Location

You don’t need to have the location figured out when you book — that’s part of my job.

Before your session, I consider:

The type of session you’re booking
The season and current scenery
Your clothing colors
How comfortable everyone needs to feel

Once I see how everything is lining up, I’ll recommend the best location for your session — not just what’s popular.
