why my families love blueberry farm mini sessions (Copy)

I love this family. And I love taking photos of them. They are basically celebrities on my blog, since I photograph them all the time. The blueberry farm mini session is one of their favorites. They meet me at the farm for pictures every July!

For proof, here’s another blueberry farm mini session with them right here.

Why do they love it??

  1. The blueberries are DELICIOUS - tons of varieties, some even the size of a quarter!! You’re even allowed to sample a few while picking!

  2. The Rusty Plow Farm is gorgeous - family owned blueberry farm - expansive views, mount rainier in the background, barns, nature and sunshine. What more could you ask for?!

  3. The kids have a mission! In my 9 years of photographing families with small children and 5 years specializing in documentary family photography, I have found it helps so much if kids have an activity. They are less likely to have a melt down if they are focused on picking as many fresh blueberries as they can possibly fit in their buckets (and tummies). Also, a huge plus, is that having a family activity helps facilitate REAL MOMENTS and candid photos.

  4. Family friendly environment! - Sue and Dave are the most delightful people and they will make sure you have THE BEST time on your visit. Cherry on top, you can leave your family pictures knowing you’ve supported TWO small, family owned businesses that day. How great is that?!

So, if you’ve been way too busy to schedule family pictures, or you just keep putting them off because, LIFE, consider a blueberry farm mini session. They are quick, easy, and build family memories like you wouldn’t believe!!

Take it from my friend, Tiphany:

“What can I say, Anna is the gem of all gems! She has always been a dear friend, but taking photos with her is truly special. She makes the kids (and the husband) feel somehow relaxed, and never makes the experience feel like a chore. It’s seamless, and easy, and she always creates the most gorgeous pictures that depict just who my family is at the core. We love spending time with her, and were so lucky to work with such an inclusive, wonderful person. We love you Anna!”

To this sweet family, THANK YOU for believing in me and my photography for nearly a decade. It’s because of families like you that I found my passion in my work. And for that, I am endlessly grateful.

love your photographer,

Anna
