OPTIMIST HALL! Hands down my favorite place in Charlotte to take my whole family for a meal with 💯 agreement! So many great food vendors to choose from, lots of seating, parking, and much more! So it was a ton of fun photographing the storefronts for my client @ratzlaffconstruction who did 7 of the upfits there! I may even drop a cool hype video... 🤔. Have a great Sunday everyone! I tagged all the amazing restaurants at @optimisthallclt so check them out for lunch sometime soon! . 📷: @the5and2project . #eatlocal #shoplocal #supportlocal #704 #keeppounding #cltvideographer #charlottenc #cltphotographer #qcphotographer #qcvideographer #northcharlotte #campnorthend #optimistpark #optimisthall #exploreclt #cltguide #scoopcharlotte #clt.today #thingstodoincharlotte #discoverclt #charlottesgotalot #cltiscreative #yelpclt #dji #djiphotography #cltnc #optimist #foodcourt

You can’t help but feel a little magic in the air standing here on the 18th as the sun comes up. Look closely in the second pic for the Carolina moon directly above the cupola. Couldn’t decide which one I liked better, so figured share both 😁 . . . #pinehurst #pinehurstresort #sunrise #golfdestination #golfhistory #paynestewart #pinehurstno2 #bucketlist

Cape Lookout NC, Cape Lookout is a neat Lighthouse to go to a short ferry ride to the Island that it sits. #MaxStansellPhotography #funwithphotography #Getoutandshoot #awesomestuffisee #SonyA6500 #alphashooter #NorthCarolinaPhotographer #NorthCarolinaLiving #visitNC #NorthCarolina #capelookout #saltlife #seaoats #lighthouse #outerbanks #innerbanksnc
