Dull’s Tree Farm in Thorntown, IN, holds a special place in my heart. Every year, my family and I make it a point to visit during the fall festival, and it never disappoints. We spend about 4 or 5 hours soaking up all the fun and festivities. The farm is packed with activities and experiences that keep everyone entertained. From corn mazes to pumpkin patches, hayrides, and petting zoos—there’s something for everyone. Not to mention, the food is fantastic! Whether it’s homemade apple cider, caramel apples, or fresh kettle corn, you can find treats that make the day even sweeter.
As a photographer, Dull’s Tree Farm is an absolute gem. I’m one of only 10 photographers who get a yearly photo pass, which makes it incredibly special. When I’m shooting here, I don’t have to compete with other photographers for the perfect spot or lighting. This exclusivity allows me to focus entirely on capturing beautiful moments without distraction.
I typically schedule two sessions at the farm each year. The first is during wildflower season, which spans July and early August. The wildflower fields are simply stunning, with vibrant colors and impeccable grooming. This year, I had the privilege of shooting there six times, and each session was a dream. The light was perfect, the fields were bursting with color, and I didn’t encounter a single other photographer. It’s a magical experience.

The second session I look forward to is tree farm season in early November. The farm transforms into a winter wonderland that looks like it’s straight out of a Hallmark movie. The trees are lush, and the atmosphere is perfect for holiday card photos. Again, the exclusivity of the pass means I can work without interruptions or crowds. It’s a serene setting that brings out the best in every session.
Dull’s Tree Farm is a place that offers so much for families and photographers alike. Whether you’re looking to make memories with your loved ones or capture them in stunning surroundings, this farm is the place to be.
As an Indianapolis family photographer, I’m thrilled to offer sessions at Dull’s Tree Farm, where the beauty of the surroundings enhances every moment.
