Photo Sessions
Thank you for choosing Five Blossoms Farm for your photography session! Please take a moment to read the following information before submitting your session booking request using the REQUEST SESSION button below.
Five Blossoms Farm defines portrait photography as all engagement, family, maternity, portfolio, prom, graduation, and any other posed portraiture of individuals by professional photographers, as well as semi-pro, pro-am or amateur photographers.
Portrait photography services are allowed on the farm and offered by appointment only. All sessions must be reserved, approved and paid in advance by a photographer. If you are looking to book a session as an individual, please be sure to find a photographer first so they can reserve on your behalf. If you need a list of photographers we partner with, please email info@fiveblossomsfarm.com for details. Reservations are accepted seasonally; availability begins in March and runs through December. Availability will depend on previously scheduled farm events, that are typically hosted on weekends.
Reservations
Photography reservations provide access to Five Blossoms Farm and its designated photography areas during the reserved date and time.
As a working cut flower and beekeeping farm, the property is provided in its current seasonal condition. Flower varieties, bloom density, garden appearance, weather conditions, and other farm features naturally vary throughout the season and cannot be guaranteed.
Bookings are made for access to the farm as a whole and not for any specific flower variety, bloom level, garden appearance, or photographic backdrop.
Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy
All reservations are non-refundable.
Standard reservations are final and may not be rescheduled.
Weather forecasts, bloom conditions, client illness, scheduling conflicts, travel delays, or other personal circumstances do not qualify for refunds, credits, cancellations, or rescheduling.
Flex Booking Upgrade
Photographers may purchase a Flex Booking Upgrade at the time of booking.
The Flex Booking Upgrade includes:
– One (1) reschedule request
– Request must be submitted at least 72 hours before the scheduled session
– New date must be selected within 30 days of the original reservation
– Subject to availability
– No refunds
Additional reschedule requests are not permitted.
If Five Blossoms Farm closes due to unsafe weather or property conditions, affected reservations may be offered an alternative date or booking credit at our discretion.
NO SHOWS: Reservations not used during the scheduled date and time are forfeited and are not eligible for refunds, credits, or rescheduling.
Seasonal Flower Conditions
We strive to provide beautiful blooms throughout the growing season; however, flower availability and appearance are influenced by weather, growing cycles, harvesting schedules, and other factors beyond our control.
Refunds, credits, cancellations, or rescheduling will not be granted due to:
– Bloom conditions
– Flower variety availability
– Bloom density or coverage
– Peak bloom timing
– Seasonal transitions
– Weather-related impacts on flowers
– Differences between current conditions and previous photographs, social media posts, or marketing images
Designated Photography Areas/Access & Farm Operations
Photographers and their clients are granted use of the barn, greenhouse, picnic/firepit area, outdoor fireplace, gardens, water feature and back fields during their booked timeslot based on availability. Please note that at times, there might be more than one photographer on site.
Five Blossoms Farm is a working agricultural property. Farm equipment, harvesting activities, maintenance, staff, educational programs, events, and other visitors may be present during your session.
