As summer winds down and the first hints of fall are in the air, I can’t help but look back on some of my favorite sessions from this season. One that stands out is this sweet creek mini session at Bethabara Park in Winston-Salem, NC.

There’s just something magical about kids playing in the water, surrounded by the beauty of nature. Bare feet in the creek, giggles echoing through the trees, and the freedom to splash and explore—it’s the perfect recipe for capturing childhood as it truly is: joyful, carefree, and full of wonder.

These sisters made this session extra special with their matching watermelon dresses and their big personalities. From splashing in the water to holding hands and laughing together, their bond shone through in every moment. Bethabara Park provided such a beautiful backdrop with its mix of shaded trees and calm, shallow waters that let them play comfortably.

Looking Ahead to Fall

Now that the summer sun is slowly giving way to crisp mornings and colorful leaves, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about fall photo sessions. Autumn is one of the most popular seasons for portraits—between the golden colors, cozy outfits, and holiday card deadlines, spots always fill up quickly!

🍂 Fall sessions are booking now, and I’d love to capture your family during this beautiful season. Whether you want to update your family portraits, celebrate your senior, or finally get those holiday card photos checked off your list, now is the time to reserve your spot.
