With so many places to shoot around the Piedmont Triad for family portraits, children's portraits, engagement sessions, etc. I thought it would be a great time to list a few of my favorites. I am always looking for interesting places to shoot so if you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment below. I'd love to hear from you!
The Graylyn Estate
Just minutes from downtown, Graylyn’s vast 55-acre property allows visitors to experience a world away from the bustle of city streets. A perfect combination of a modern, sophisticated conference facility and an enchanting, historic residence, Graylyn is sure to captivate from the moment you arrive at the estate gates.
Historic Bethabara Park
Installed in 2018, the Historic Bethabara Park Visitor Center exhibit (still in development) provided a much-needed update to the historic interpretation of Bethabara. Park Staff researched and developed the exhibit using Records of the Moravians in North Carolina, a translated diary written by the Moravians in the 18th and early 19th centuries, along with pivotal secondary sources about the history of the Moravians and those they encountered. In our exhibit, we share the stories of Bethabara’s residents like never before, including stories of the enslaved. We also examine the Moravians’ complicated relationship with Native groups in the region throughout the French & Indian War and Cherokee War.

Many locals refer to the city as "Winston" in informal speech. Another nickname, "the Dash," comes from the dash in the city's name (although technically it is a hyphen[5]); this nickname is used by the local minor league baseball team, the Winston-Salem Dash.
