Monroe is a vibrant and growing town with SO many great spots for family or senior photos! Here are some of my favorite:
- alleyways - between buildings all around town
- on the steps of the historic courthouse
- one of the petite gardens dotted around downtown
- along the colonnade of First Baptist
- crossing Main Street (Beetles' Abbey Road style)
- and LOADS more!
Other locations near by include:
- Downtown Waxhaw - lots of historic charm. The footbridge, alleyways, the water tower. So many great spots!
- Marvin-Efird Park - Charming barn, rustic fields, pretty lake all make for beautiful back drops
- Ballantyne's Cullman Park - for something more manicured. Azaleas (in season), waterfall, willow-lined pond. All beautifully landscaped
- The Union Exchange - offers several large lawn areas with trees and a pond. Farm equipment and small barns offer a rustic vibe. The front port of the farm store is great, too!
- Lake Park's Fred Kirby Park - not too manicured, and not too rural. When you want something in between, this is a great spot. The pretty central gazebo makes a great backdrop - as does the lush green park.
- Wesley Chapel's Dogwood Park -Small easy to access park (bring your dog for the dog park!) There are several perfect spots here that make for pretty family portraits.
