Favorite Family Photo Location: Bass Lake


Bass Lake is a beautiful lake found in Holly Springs, NC. There's a boathouse, trails, river, and gorgeous trees making it a great backdrop for a family session in any season!

Things to Love


  1. Parking: I love that there is close parking to the trails and easy access for strollers, wheelchairs, walkers, pets, etc. It's very family friendly with beautiful views without a hike in or out.
  2. Local: I serve many families from Holly Springs and surrounding areas and this park is a very quick drive. I know families are busy with school, work, and extracurriculars so this is the perfect spot for a beautiful location just around the corner!
  3. Different paths: There are several paths to explore during a session. This means that even if your family had photos here every year, we could make it feel like a different location each time.
