A: We do not allow photographers on our farm during the WEEKENDS of selling season. However, photographers are able to schedule sessions during the WEEK (Monday-Friday) of selling season.

Q: What if I do not show up for my shoot?

A: Unfortunately, a no show takes the spot of another potential photographer who could have booked with us. Therefore, a no show will not be refunded. The photographer must schedule and pay for a new date/time if they would like to rebook with us.

A: Our farm is quite small, the maximum we would book is two photographers during the same time slot. By limiting the number of photographers we are able to offer a greater experience to each photographer.

A: Our farm is 25 acres, there will be plenty of room for each photographer to find the picture perfect spot.
