🍎 Easiest family portraits ever! 🍎

This September, I’ll be at Orchard Ridge Farm in Gorham, Maine offering relaxed family photo sessions during apple-picking season.

Think kids running between the trees, picking apples (and maybe sneaking a bite), visiting the farm animals, and having a great time together. I’ll tag along as your “friend with a camera,” capturing real moments + a few relaxed portraits.

📅 Sessions run Sept 17–21
💲 $275 includes 30-minute session, 10+ edited photos, and a $10 farm store gift certificate

👉 These dates are coming up and spots are limited — book soon!

I’m excited to announce something special for this September — documentary-style family photo sessions at Orchard Ridge Farm in Gorham, Maine!

I really love all the small humans I met at a local preschool a few months ago. This is just a big love letter to all of them. ❤️

One of the first things I did when I moved here to Maine was to contact a local preschool to see if they’d like me to take some portraits. After leaving all my clients behind in Virginia, it felt like home to step into a playground in my new state and be surrounded by the same curiosity and laught...

Hey, I'm giving away a free photo session in Maine this fall! Entry form and more details are on my website.

I’m so excited to say a big hello to Maine! I moved to Portland a few months ago, and I’ve been thinking about how I can give back to my new community while getting to know some of the wonderful people who live here.

🍎 Apple picking sessions! 🍎

👉 Reserve your session here: https://laurarush.com/2025/08/fall-apple-picking-photo-sessions/

This September, I’ll be spending a few days at Orchard Ridge Farm in Gorham, Maine, and I’d love for your family to join me.
These are not your “everyone stand still and smile at the camera” kind of sessions. Instead, they’re short and sweet — half an hour of apple picking, chicken-watching, laughing, exploring — while I capture it all.

You’ll get a mix of documentary-style images + a few relaxed portraits, 10+ edited photos, and even a $10 gift certificate to the farm store.

📅 Sept 17–21 | $275 | Limited spots available

Do you hate seeing yourself in photos? Sometimes I do, too. But I've been taking more photos of myself over the last few years because I want to look back and see not just the world as I saw it but also how I am a part of that world. I love what Teri Hofford says about how we perceive ourselves in photos.

I love the snow we’re getting now in February, but I also miss those amazing fall days last October and November. Looking forward to spring and putting away the heavy jackets and snow boots for a while.
