10 Things You Need to Know About Sunflower Photography Sessions at Spencer Farm

The sunflower fields at Spencer Farm in Noblesville are one of my absolute favorite places to shoot, and for good reason. There’s something magical about walking through a sea of bright yellow blooms stretching as far as the eye can see. The fields, which span 3.5 acres, are truly a sight to behold, with sunflowers towering anywhere from 3 to 9 feet tall.
