North Carolina’s mountain towns are the perfect escape—especially when your pup tags along. If you're planning a trip to Asheville, Boone, Blowing Rock, or the Blue Ridge Parkway, don’t forget one thing that makes your trip even more memorable: a professional photo session with your dog.
Whether it’s an early morning on the trail or a cozy sunset in a mountain meadow, here’s how to plan a stunning dog photography session while enjoying your mountain getaway.
📍 Choose a Dog-Friendly Destination
Some of my favorite spots in the NC mountains that work beautifully for sessions:
Craggy Gardens (Asheville): Sweeping views, blooms in late spring, and vibrant fall color.
Rough Ridge Overlook (Blue Ridge Parkway): Iconic rocky ledges with dreamy mountain backdrops.
Bass Lake Loop (Blowing Rock): Easy walk around the lake with reflection views and picnic areas.
Howard’s Knob (Boone): Less crowded, dog-friendly, and peaceful at golden hour.
🐾 Why Book a Session During Vacation?
You’re already in a beautiful place. Make the most of the scenery and atmosphere.
You have time. No rushing between work or errands—vacation mode means you’re relaxed (and so is your dog).
It becomes part of the adventure. A photo session in the mountains is a memory in itself—not just the result.
📸 What to Expect
I travel for sessions across Western NC and offer flexible destination pricing for weekend getaways or planned trips. We’ll time your session around sunrise or sunset, scout the perfect trail or overlook, and tailor everything to your dog’s energy level and comfort.
Great for:
Senior dogs on a peaceful walk
High-energy pups who love to hike
Couples or families traveling with their pets
