    The JC Arboretum is really nice - and it has some urban tracks leading down the same road...  I go there a lot.

    Also pullen park is great - they have the train, flowers and the carosel makes for some AWESOME photo ops!

    If you come this way, I would love to shoot with you - I know I could learn a GAZILLION things from you!!! (plus, i would love to see your new camera!!!)

    Yates Mill is an awesome place for pictures! They have a pond, the mill/waterfall area, older buildings/wagons and a huge field. The little museum/park building has a big beautiful wooden front porch with rocking chairs. https://www.wakegov.com/locations/parks/yatesmill.htm

     

    ETA: I just rememberd this: Its a bio the NC Knotties came up with, maybe this would help!

    Pullen Park is awesome!! We had our engagement photos there, and were just there again last week, it is not under construction until next year.It has a huge lake with a beautiful bridge, tons of flowers, and grassy areas, an old timey carousel and a train caboose, etc. Also, down the road a bit is Modecai Park, with several old historic houses that would be great for photos.

     Also-did you and MrsG finalize anything for the Aug 29 shoot? I haven't heard anything?

    I know she is putting the list together. I emailed her yesterday about it, we should have something finalized soon for the Tobacco District. Summon MrsG! :)?

    Thanks for the help, Pullen Park and the Arboretum sound awesome. ?I will check them both out. ?

    I will be up that way in August, anyone wanna do lunch with me and the kids? ?

    I definitely argree with Pullen, Yates and the Arboretum. I took a bunch of pictures of Olivia last month at the Arboretum and the flowers were all blooming. They're on my FB if you wanted to get an idea. We only did a small part of the Arboretum because Olivia was not in the best of moods.
