When clients ask me where I recommend taking their photos, Tanglewood Park is almost always part of the conversation.

Located in Clemmons, North Carolina, Tanglewood Park is one of the most versatile and dependable outdoor photo locations in the area. I’ve photographed families, seniors, and individuals here in every season, and it consistently delivers beautiful, timeless images.

The photos you see throughout this post were all taken at Tanglewood Park — just at different times of the year — which really shows how much variety this location offers.

Variety Without Feeling Overwhelming

One of the biggest reasons Tanglewood Park works so well for photo sessions is the range of scenery in a small area.

Within a short walk, we can find:

• Open grassy spaces

• Tree-lined paths

• Brick walkways and benches

• Soft wooded backdrops

This makes it ideal for families with kids, seniors who want variety, and sessions where we want multiple looks without spending the entire time walking.

Beautiful in Every Season

Tanglewood Park is one of those locations that truly works year round.

• Spring brings fresh greens, blooming trees, and soft light

• Summer offers lush foliage and shaded areas

• Fall is filled with warm tones, texture, and golden light

• Winter creates clean, simple backdrops with a more classic feel

Because I photograph here often, I know which areas look best depending on the season and current conditions — that way your session always feels intentional and not forced.

Perfect for Families, Seniors, and More

Tanglewood Park is incredibly flexible and works well for a wide range of sessions.

It’s a great choice for:

• Family photos of all ages

• Senior portraits, including cap and gown sessions

• Extended family sessions

• Individual portraits

Whether we’re photographing young kids, teenagers, or multiple generations together, this location allows everyone to relax and enjoy the process.

Easy and Comfortable for Clients

Another reason I love recommending Tanglewood Park is how comfortable it is for clients.

There’s room to spread out, plenty of shade, and enough space for kids to move without feeling restricted. This helps sessions feel more relaxed, natural, and enjoyable — which always shows in the final images.

How I Decide If Tanglewood Park Is Right for You

You don’t have to choose your location when you book.

Before your session, I take into account:

• The type of session you’re booking

• The time of year and lighting

• Your clothing colors and overall style

• How much walking you’re comfortable with

From there, I’ll recommend the best spot within Tanglewood Park — or suggest an alternative if another location fits your vision better.
