8 Things You Should Know About Scheduling Your Wildflower Photography Session at Dull’s Tree Farm

Last year, Dull’s Tree Farm was my most popular location, and it’s easy to see why. It’s great for winter photos on the tree farm but it’s even better (in my opinion) in the wildflower field. With its vibrant wildflower fields and breathtaking scenery, it offers the perfect backdrop for your summer photos.

When I say I’m a doodle lover, I mean it! We have not one, but two doodles at home. Our mini Labradoodle is 12 years old and full of personality—grumpy yet loveable as ever.

With these two in the house, I get my daily dose of dog snuggles, goofy moments, and the occasional burst of chaos.

Child Milestone Session: Choosing Between Studio and Outdoor Sessions

In-studio milestone sessions offer a lot of variety while keeping things simple. During a full session, we typically use 3-4 different outfits. I have a wide selection of rompers and diaper covers you can use, or you’re welcome to bring your own outfits or props that hold special meaning. The focus is mostly on your baby, but we can include one family setup during the session as well.

Another Joyful Family Session: Memories That Mean the World

We captured such a variety of images from this session! There were moments with everyone smiling at the camera, kids playing and exploring, and parents cuddling.

Fun Carmel Family Photography Session at Sunset

Toddlers make sessions unpredictable—and that’s exactly why I love photographing them. They don’t fake anything. When you see a big smile or hear a belly laugh, you know it’s 100% real. This sweet girl gave us plenty of both! She explored, played, and kept her parents on their toes the entire time. Her joy was contagious, and it shone through in every shot.

Studio Session with Two Bright Personalities: Twin 8 Year Old Girls

This particular session was extra special for me. I’ve had the joy of photographing these beautiful twin girls since their NICU days, and what a journey it has been! Watching them grow into the vibrant, fun-loving 8-year-olds they are today has been such an honor.⁠
