Photographers

HOURS:

We are open to the public seasonally throughout the year, usually on Saturdays and Sundays during the events. During these regular open hours, we just ask that everyone pays regular admission (photographers and clients; there is no additional fee).

 

If you would like to use our farm for photo sessions outside of our regular open hours, you're in the right place! We can accommodate you year-round, any day of the week and any time of the day (yes, during golden hour too!).

 

BOOKING:

During peak demand when we have flower fields in bloom, we use the booking system below. This helps us process the fees for photography passes, keep track of everyone with a pass, and ensure that each time slot is not overbooked.

​

Please take a look at the available dates and times through the below booking system. If you would like to book a session outside of these dates (when flower fields are not in peak bloom), feel free to contact us via our contact form, Facebook Messenger, or call us (8:30am-6pm please).

​

Note on times: You are responsible for checking sunrise/sunset times before booking your time. They change considerably over a season, even week to week. Dawn is ~30 min before sunrise. Dusk is ~30 min after sunset. Here's a handy resource to check: www.sunrisesunsettime.org

​

Note on dates: We have a pretty good idea of approximately when flowers will be in bloom based on when they were planted and when they've bloomed past years BUT this is an estimate - not exact! The weather does slow them down or speed them up. So follow us on Facebook or Instagram for updates or feel free to ask (preferably through Facebook messenger or email).

​

RESCHEDULING:

Bookings are non-refundable however you may reschedule to another available date/time through our online booking system. You MUST create an account using the same email address you use to purchase your booking to have the option to reschedule.

 

To reschedule: Log into your account (green icon at the top site menu), select your booking under "My Bookings", click reschedule, pick your new time, click reschedule and confirm. You will see the new time updated under "My Bookings"

 

Please reschedule as early as you can (so that someone else may have a chance to fill your spot). You will be unable to reschedule a booking that has already started/passed.

​

CHECKING IN:

You will check in virtually upon arrival to our farm. A sign along the gravel entry drive will have details on the check in process, including a QR code (and associated web link) to take you to the check in page. Your confirmation email also has the web link to the check in page. All vehicles in a group will check in separately. If you don't have internet access on your phone, you can call a number instead to check in.

​

FACILITIES:

We have portalet restroom(s) that you are welcome to use but not running water (during open hours, we have a handwashing station but it gets turned off otherwise).

​

PARKING:

If it has not rained recently and the ground is DRY, you may drive down the hill, past the metal Grain Bin building, and park in the mowed lawn near the picnic tables... HOWEVER if your vehicle is leaking fluids, PLEASE park in the gravel lot at the top of the hill and walk the short distance to the flower field. Your vehicle MUST leave the flower field area before we open to the general public (usually 10am Saturday, noon Sunday)*

​

*This note doesn't apply to Daffodil Days because they are much closer to the parking area.

​

RULES:

• Please stick to your booking time to avoid overcrowding adjacent times. If you arrive early, you may remain parked at the Grain Bin building parking lot (feel free to get out and stretch).

• Please leave the farm the way you found it. Take trash home with you. Tread lightly.

• You may pick flowers for a fee. Let us know (ahead of time if possible) through Facebook Messenger or email so we can send you a pay link. Picking without paying is theft.

• You may move our photo props around but please don't leave them hidden from view.

• Drones are prohibited during regular open hours and booking hours (message us if you'd like to set up a time to fly when no other guests will be present).

• Smoking, vaping, and alcohol are prohibited. You may smoke inside your vehicle only.

• Photographers with paying clients must carry liability insurance. Middle Springs Farm assumes no responsibility for injury up to and including death of participants in a photo session on our property.

• Middle Springs Farm assumes no responsibility for loss, theft, or damage to any equipment or belongings.
