This amazing family holds a special place in my heart, and I can't help but capture their beautiful moments through my lens time and time again. They have become like celebrities on my blog, and one of their favorite photo sessions is the blueberry farm mini session. Every July, we meet up at the farm for a delightful photoshoot!

Now, let me tell you why they absolutely adore it!

1. First and foremost, the blueberries at Rusty Plow Farm are simply divine. With an array of delicious varieties, some even as big as a quarter, it's a berry-lover's paradise! The best part? You can savor a few samples while you're picking, adding an extra burst of sweetness to the experience.

2. Speaking of the farm, Rusty Plow Farm is an absolute gem. As a family-owned blueberry farm, it exudes charm and offers expansive views that include the majestic Mount Rainier in the background. With picturesque barns, serene natural surroundings, and abundant sunshine, it's a dreamy setting for capturing your precious memories.

3. Now, here's a secret to keeping those little ones engaged and meltdown-free during the session: giving them a mission! After photographing families with small children for nine years, and specializing in documentary family photography for five, I've learned that having an activity makes all the difference. And what better activity than having the kids focus on picking as many fresh blueberries as they can fit in their buckets (and tummies)? Not only does it keep them happily occupied, but it also creates authentic moments and candid photos that will warm your heart.

4. But it's not just the picturesque setting and delicious blueberries that make this experience extraordinary—it's the warm and welcoming environment that Sue and Dave, the delightful owners, create at Rusty Plow Farm. They ensure you have the best time during your visit, and knowing that your family pictures support not just one, but two small, family-owned businesses is the cherry on top!

So, join me for a family-friendly adventure at Rusty Plow Farm. Let's capture your cherished moments while enjoying the bountiful blueberries and supporting local businesses. It's a win-win situation that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Whether you're longing to refresh your family portraits, capture the sweet moments with your special someone, or simply revel in the joy of being outdoors, these mini sessions are tailor-made for you. It's an opportunity to let loose, have a blast, and create stunning photographs that encapsulate the essence of who you are.

love your photographer,

Anna
