A Day at the Lake with Mia rose photography

You can't beat this location in the summertime. This session was shot mid-summer, early enough to capture the enchanting morning light. With temperatures soaring in late July and early August in North Carolina, outdoor sessions can become quite a challenge. However, I have found that scheduling early morning sessions, around 8:00 or 8:30, no later than 9:30, or shooting at sunset around 6:30, proves to be the ideal time for this season. By doing so, we can guarantee stunning soft light and ensure that our clients don’t end up as drenched, sweaty messes by the end of the shoot. It's the perfect opportunity to capture the magic of summer in a comfortable and beautiful setting.

Jetton Park is a highly regarded and popular destination in the small town of Cornelius. Its reputation extends beyond the local community, reaching Lake Norman and the greater Charlotte area. With its adaptability and versatility, this park stands out as an excellent option for capturing memorable moments during family photo sessions and is consistently one of my top choices.

Nestled along the sandy lake shore, encompassed by a picturesque landscape of smooth rocks and lush greenery, we find an idyllic setting that serves as the ultimate backdrop for capturing timeless and treasured family portraits.

Family photos are more than just mere snapshots frozen in time. They hold a profound significance that spans generations. They capture the shared moments of love, joy, and connection that build the foundation of a family. Having family photos taken allows us to preserve and treasure these cherished memories for years to come. They serve as a visual narrative of our lives, telling the story of who we are, where we come from, and the bonds that hold us together. These photographs become invaluable treasures that can be passed down through the generations, allowing future family members to glimpse into their roots and feel a sense of belonging. In a world that is constantly changing, family photos provide a timeless reminder of the love and unity that exist within our families. They serve as a touchstone of comfort, reminding us of the beautiful relationships we share and the importance of nurturing and celebrating those connections.
