Apple Blossom Photography Sessions

Each spring, during the short and beautiful apple blossom season, we welcome a limited number of photographers to book access to our farm for client photo sessions. This is a special opportunity to capture portraits among the blossoms in a peaceful, natural farm setting.

Our blossom season is brief and weather dependent, so availability is limited and dates are announced on our social media pages as bloom approaches.

What Your Session Booking Includes

  • Access to designated apple blossom photo areas during your reserved time slot

  • Use of the farm setting for professional photography sessions

  • A quiet, natural backdrop with spring blossoms and orchard scenery

Please note that this is a farm access fee for photographers and their clients, not a styled shoot or fully private event rental.

Session Length Options

  • ($30) 30-minute session

  • ($50) 1-hour session

  • ($75) Golden-hour session

  • Other timing may be considered depending on availability

We allow bookings from 4pm-7pm Monday to Sunday. Availability is limited and clustered around peak bloom and suitable weather conditions. We recommend reaching out early to express interest.

To book an apple blossom photography session, please contact us directly with:

  • your name and photography business name

  • preferred date(s) and approximate time

  • session length requested

  • number of people attending

  • type of session planned (family, maternity, engagement, graduation, etc.)

Once we confirm availability, we will send you booking details and payment instructions. Your session is only considered booked once confirmed by us. Because blossom season is short and limited, confirmed bookings may be non-refundable or transferable only in certain circumstances, including weather-related changes at our discretion.

Farm Guidelines
To help us protect the orchard and create a positive experience for everyone, we ask that photographers and clients follow these guidelines:

Please do

  • arrive on time for your scheduled session

  • stay within designated photo areas

  • supervise children at all times

  • respect the trees, blossoms, and farm property

  • leave the area exactly as you found it

Please do not

  • pick blossoms, branches, apples, or other plant material

  • climb trees or allow clients to pull on branches

  • move farm equipment, décor, or materials without permission

  • bring large props, furniture, smoke bombs, confetti, glitter, or open flames

  • enter non-designated farm areas, barns, greenhouses, or private spaces

  • leave behind garbage, props, or personal items


Dogs may be permitted only with prior approval and must remain under control and cleaned up after.

Responsibility
Photography sessions take place on a working farm. By booking and attending, photographers accept responsibility for themselves, their clients, and any children or guests attending with them. Visitors assume normal risks associated with outdoor farm property, including uneven ground, mud, insects, changing weather, and rural conditions.

Photographers are responsible for communicating these conditions and rules to their clients before arrival.
