Sunflower Photography

Personal Photography for our Visitors …

The sunflower trail is a special place & we thoroughly encourage our visitors to make memories & take photos! Bring your camera and  click away at the flowers and our many photo ops … just be sure to practice proper social distancing & be courteous of others. And please, no tripods as they tend to block the pathways while in use.

How to Reserve Your Dates

A limited number of photographers will be allowed in the field for photo sessions each evening. To reserve your dates please email emma@vonthunfarms.com with the dates you’re interested in booking. Your dates are not confirmed until your non-refundable deposit ($100) has been received via check or PayPal. 

Your remaining balance will be due in the farm market the date of your first session. Please keep in mind we are requiring at least 72 hours notice for reservations so we have adequate staff available for that evening.

Sunflowers are an agricultural crop. Therefore, we can never guarantee them for the date(s) you’ve selected. If there’s inclement weather or damage to the crops, we will work with you to reschedule for another date that’s convenient for you and your clients or issue you a refund.
