Need a family friendly convenient location for your family with young children for your portrait session in the Wilmington NC area? The New Hanover County Arboretum offers both photographers and families a visit worth the going! You will find blooms in every season, pathways, kid friendly grounds, facilities, and a gift shop for rewards after the photo session.

I enjoy the age of kids where they have not yet become self-conscious in front of a camera. They talk, they play, and they express themselves in wonderful fun ways. Laughter comes more easily and natural. Sometimes a small prompt can go a long way with a zillion happy expressions and actions to follow.
