Spring Family Photography at the Raleigh Rose Garden with the Braswell's.

Being a published lifestyle photographer in Raleigh-Durham, I've had the honor of capturing families for years. The Braswell's for example have been my clients since their engagement session many years ago. Coming back year after year I've been able to see their family grow and celebrate Mark's first birthday at the Raleigh Rose Garden with some updated family photos.

The Raleigh Rose Garden is one of my favorite backdrops for family photos. With foliage that is in bloom all year long it’s the perfect destination for family photos no matter what time of year. Not to mention its never that crowded.

One of the things I love about Rachel (and is a service I offer) is that she always comes to me for styling so that she can have the photos that not only look good but last a lifetime. You might not know that certain seasons have a certain hue of light and spring is a very blue time. I usually tell clients to lean into neutrals or blues during these seasons as its easier to play into the hue. Avoiding warm colors is key to having timeless, crisp family photos.
