Colby Farm Sunflower Photography Sessions
Custom sunflower mini photoshoots for families, high school seniors, maternity and engagements
Family portrait at Colby Farm
Colby Farm's stunning sunflower fields are a picture-perfect backdrop for your portraits! Located in Newbury, Massachusetts, Colby Farm offers two-acres of sunflowers that seem to extend as far as the eye can see. Their hillside sunflower fields reach their peak bloom for about 10-14 days, in late August and early September. The timing of the blooms differs from year to year, depending upon how much it rains. I get so excited as the summer progresses because I know that it's almost time for my annual sunflower portrait sessions.
These photoshoots book in advance and start selling out in mid-summer, be sure to secure your 2022 session spot! Read on to learn more.

Sunflowers are usually in peak bloom for about 10-14 days. Rain levels and extreme heat will effect the bloom time duration. Please note, if it rains on your scheduled session day or farms close the sunflower fields for the season before your session, we will reschedule your photoshoot for another date, at a new mutually agreed upon outdoor location (ex. a park). If you need to reschedule, as a curiosity, please notify me via email 24 hr. prior to your session time. We will reschedule the session for a date, time and new outdoor location that works for both of us. Sessions must be rescheduled within 6 months. There will be a $50 fee for any additional rescheduling there after.
Sunflowers are always covered in bees and bugs. If you or your children have bee allergies and/or are very fearful of bees this session will not be a good fit for your family. I'd be happy to talk with you about alternative photo session location options.

"If I had three words to describe Jennifer, they would be Talented, Professional and Thoughtful. Our experience with Jennifer was nothing short of outstanding and we were highly impressed by her commitment to make sure the right moment and expression were captured by the photograph. Every photo she produced for us had the highest quality. We ended up purchasing all of them along with a few canvas prints for our living room. What sets Jennifer apart from other photographers we've had in the past is her willingness to work with us post-session to make sure our selection of photos and canvas prints were the right ones for us. She made herself available numerous times to discuss details with us before we went ahead and made our purchases. I'd gladly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to hire a photographer." - Jose B., Charlestown, MA
