I had a family request a Christmas Tree Farm for some family photos next week. Since I have the farm booked, and I will be there with my equipment and a few props, I can add a couple spots to the time I have.

The time I have is pretty specific and also during the day, so... Not sure if that is an issue, but it is Thanksgiving week! Maybe, you have family in town you'd like a photo with?

I have the tree farm (Pine Lake Christmas Tree Farm in Derby, KS) from 2-5 pm on Wednesday, November 22nd. I currently have 4 spots I can open.
2-2:30pm
2:30-3pm
3-3:30pm
3:30-4pm

$100 Session Fee (Half due upon booking)
Session spots are 30 minutes.
You will receive 5 edited digital images with copyright release.
And you will be able to walk amongst the beautiful Christmas trees with your loved ones!
Location:
Pine Lake Christmas Tree Farm
6802 Oliver
Derby, KS 67037

Call, email, or DM me to book your session!

Note: Snow is not included. I'd love to make it snow but it doesn't appear to be in the forecast for Wednesday. If you'd like snow photoshopped onto your photo, we can talk! 😜

Grab a friend and book a sunflower photoshoot! You have to hurry and book though, the sunflowers have about 8 days left in them. Book today!

Great idea for family photos, friend groups, seniors, kids, and pets!

It's Sunflower time! Yay! As you can see, this was by far my favorite location to take photos last year.

So... Klausmeyer Dairy Farm and Pumpkin Patch says they are beginning to see the blooms and the entire field should be ready by this SATURDAY! When they bloom, we only have approximately 10 days to get pictures with the flowers. It's a tight schedule! The farm will be open from sun-up to sun-down every day until the flowers are done for. And the good news is that I am totally available almost any hour of all of those days! Yay!

Call me, text me, message me through this page, or email me and book an appointment asap. Golden Hour will be in high demand.

Can't make it work right now? Good news: They will have a second field blooming in August sometime. It's a smaller field (Photographers only) and they charge $30 for the use of it per hour. My time is a little more narrow in August, but I'm sure we could figure something out.
