Different from any other studio
We are often asked "are you a farm or a photography studio?" The answer is "yes." Every photo you see in the galleries below was shot here, on our family farm. With an indoor 1400 sq.ft barn studio, and 70 acres of natural beauty, it's a single location that offers the perfect experiences for every season.
On our private property you won't have to worry about other people in the background, changing in a public restroom, or where to go if it starts to drizzle. Pets are welcomed, kids can run free. We hear over and over: "I didn't know photos could be relaxing and fun."

Nothing is more welcome than the new life of spring. We crack open the windows and listen to the frogs calling each night. There are an abundance of downy chicks and ducklings, and for a short while the 25 acre woods are carpeted with flowers.

Summer means eating food from the garden on the front porch, and lazy afternoons in the hammock under the two front maples. The wildflower meadows are in full bloom, and the sandy beach of the cool, spring-fed pond calls to us every day. Summer sunsets are unrivaled - the sky is a wash of pink & gold light.

When I think of fall, I think of muted tones and soft hazy light. The fog rolls in most mornings, especially over the pond. There are heirloom pumpkins in cream and blue hues, and apples stacked in wooden crates from the 100 tree orchard next door. Neighbors drop off fresh pressed cider, and bonfire smoke fills the air.

Winter replaces the long days of growing with cozy hours of dreaming and planning in front of the wood stove. We cut our holiday greens and trees from the wild evergreen lot next door. The wood is cut and stacked and we hike around in the snow, knowing there's a blazing fire waiting for us in the studio or farmhouse.
