A Maternity Family Session at Dull’s Tree Farm’s Wild Flower Field

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.
