2022 Sunflower Field Sessions
Thank you so much for your interest in a Sunflower Field session!
Please read ALL the details below and fill out a form, which is at THE VERY BOTTOM of this page.
1) WHERE/WHEN: Sessions will take place from 6:30pm-8:00pm on Friday, August 12th (rain date Saturday the 13th) and Tuesday, August 16th (rain date Wednesday the 17th) at a nearby field around Unionville, PA. (exact address to be provided upon booking).
2) RAIN: I will be watching the weather forecast closely and make the decision for a rain cancellation by 5:30pm. I will send a text message and email out to everyone letting them know. If the rain looks like it is going to hold off, but then begins in the middle of the sessions, I will let everyone know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
3) RAIN DATES: If it is going to rain on Friday, August 12th, the rain date is scheduled for Saturday, the 13th. If it rains on Tuesday, August 16th, the rain date is scheduled for Wednesday, the 17th. If you cannot make BOTH dates, please do not sign up for a session.
4) HOW LONG: Sessions are 15 minutes long and scheduled back to back. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early so you can park, get yourselves ready, and walk up the hill to the field. If you are late, your session will be cut short out of courtesy for others. Your money is non-refundable if you fail to show, or fail to get there on time as I have turned others away to reserve your time spot.
5) WHO: Each time slot is for 1 family, up to 5 people. Each additional person is $50+tax. These sessions are great for children, families, and maternity sessions. If for any reason you do not feel that we will be able to capture your family in that time frame, you are welcome to sign up for back-to-back time slots, but will need to pay booking fees for both.
NOTE: I HIGHLY encourage you to consider if this is the right session for your family and children. Because the sessions take place at sunset, at the longest daylight time of the year, this can be late for some little ones. If your child still takes long/late naps, or is used to going to bed after 8pm, then this time frame will likely work. If your child is consistently going to bed around 7pm and you are unable to get the 6:30pm time slot, please think about how your child will respond to the later night. Some kids handle it well, and others don't. You know your child best! We want happy, cooperative babies/children and don't want to make them do something when they are tired and cranky, or over-tired and all-hyped up (this is how my own kids were).
6) BEES: Yes, there will be bumblebees and honeybees at the field. In 8 years of photographing in flower fields (both sunflowers and lavender), I have yet to have a client get stung during a session. The bees are much more interested in the flowers then us, and because I shoot in the evenings, they move slower and start to get sleepy. However, if you or anyone in your household is highly allergic to bee stings, please consider your safety first.
7) ONLINE PROOF GALLERY: Your images will available for you to see via an online proof gallery, which will be sent to you within 14 business days. All of the images will be unedited, the exception of 1 so you will be able to get an idea of the style (see images above as examples of what you can expect as a typical edit).
8) WHAT TO WEAR: I suggest white/cream, tan/beige, shades of blue, yellow, and gray/greige.. Avoid patterns and logos. See some examples of what to wear in the above images. Moms - if you are going to be in the pictures, it's always a good idea to start with your outfit, one that makes you feel your best! I love flowy dresses, maybe even a sun hat or flower crown. The same outfit idea applies to girls, although they also look adorable in shorter dresses or rompers. Dads and boys can be in a causal white/cream/pale blue polo or button up shirt with jeans or khakis.
9) COST: The upfront, booking fee is $110+tax. This reserves your spot, covers the fee to use the property, includes a 15 minute session, and an online proof gallery from which to choose your images. Because sessions are booked on a first-come-first-serve basis, as soon as I confirm your time, I will send you over a PayPal invoice. Payment is due within 24 hours or your spot will be reopened, no exceptions. Images are purchased separately. Please see the complete price list listed below.
10) CONTRACT: A contract must be signed before your session. I will email you the contract and you will need to send it back electronically, via snail mail, or bring it with you to the session.
