Photography at a Tree Farm

Are you a photographer looking for a place to bring your clients for their christmas minis, graduation photos, or even marriage proposal shoots? Our farm has been host to all of that and more. We have been working with photographers and their clients for more than 10 years here, and have worked hard to implement a parking system that works well for all involved. The below map shows our 2026 parking areas map.

    • Each year in spring and summer, we have tons of different wildflowers, although each year is unique. We also plant a stand of sunflowers that has a narrow blooming window in late summer.

    • Fall is when most of the Christmas photo sessions are done, but many people also appreciate the fall colors for graduation and pet photos.

    • In winter, things are a little chilly, but the white backdrop brought by the snow has had its share of wedding and marriage proposal shoots.

    • A two-seater bench swing strung between 2 white pines.

    • A metal bench by our “Snack Shack” with wreaths as a backdrop during the holiday season.

    • A vintage horse-drawn sleigh, minus the horses, that is over 100 years old.

    • A number of wood piles, and large logs.
