Downtown Apex for a headshot
The Apex Historic District, centered on Salem Street, has been on the National Register of Historic Places since March 17, 1994. The 1912 Town Hall at 237 N. Salem St., now the Halle Cultural Arts Center, and the Apex Union Depot sit in the same blocks.
Public lots on the Town list are Seaboard and Saunders (3 hours each) and Depot (2 hours), each with 15-minute spaces.
Apex Community Park and the greenways
Apex Community Park has 160 acres, a lake of more than 50 acres, a fishing dock and more than 3 miles of trails. The park is open 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. The Town maintains more than 22 miles of greenway, so a backdrop of trees is never far from downtown.
The Town pages I checked do not state a photography permit policy for these places. I call Apex Town Hall at 919-249-3400 and confirm before I book you.

Guide ratings out of 5 from the Apex location guide, not a forecast.
Downtown Apex holds up in every season because the street frame does the work: spring and fall rate 4 of 5, and winter rates 3. The greenway is strongest in fall at 5 of 5. Summer is hot on the pavement, so book early or near sunset.
What to wear in Apex
Downtown frames mix light and shade from the buildings, so choose a solid that does not shimmer. Skip fine stripes and tight checks.
On the greenway, trees can be dense. Pick a warm or light solid, such as cream, soft blue or burgundy, so you stand apart from the green.
Bring a second top if you book The Personal Brand. The headshot wardrobe guide lists what to wear.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much do headshots cost in Apex?
The Professional is $250 and The Personal Brand is $395. Teams can book on-site rates of $150 per person. Prices are before NC sales tax.
Where do I park for a downtown Apex headshot?
The Town lists the Seaboard and Saunders lots at 3 hours and the Depot lot at 2 hours. Each lot has 15-minute spaces. A 20-minute Professional session fits inside those limits. I send the lot and the meeting point when you book.
Do I need a permit for an Apex headshot?
The Town of Apex pages I checked do not state a photography permit policy. I contact Apex Town Hall at 919-249-3400 and confirm the rule for your spot and date before you book. A session at your office needs no permit.
Can you photograph our whole Apex team?
Yes. On-site team rates are $150 per person, $1,200 for a half day or $2,200 for a full day. Send the headcount and the room, and I confirm the plan before you book.
How far is Apex Community Park from downtown Apex?
About 1.6 miles in a straight line. Both fit in one session if you want a street frame and a lake or trail frame. I choose the order by light and by what your backdrop needs.
Can I book a headshot before or after work in Apex?
Send the date and the time window you prefer, and I confirm what I can do before you book. A 20-minute Professional session fits into most gaps in a workday.
