Sunflower minis NOW BOOKING!! | Jacki G. Photography LLC| Richmond, VA| Newborn & Family Photographer

It is that time of year again!! Sunflower mini sessions are NOW booking!! The Sunflower is one of my favorite flowers and a beautiful backdrop to get updated family portraits, baby photos and maternity photos. They bloom for a brief period anytime from July into early September. But, if you miss out on these massive blooms, you can still get beautiful pictures with the many pockets of wild sunflowers around the areas. I will also be having a Studio sunflower backdrop for those who would rather have their baby photographed indoors. This backdrop is ONLY for children.

Here are some of the challenges with photo sessions at those large sunflower fields.

During the late Summer, the sun rises early and sets late. There is harsh, direct sunlight from about 8am to around 6:30-7pm. I usually find myself crossing my fingers and toes, hoping for overcast skies. Direct sunlight means dark, unflattering shadows and squinty eyes for your pictures. . Since it’s better to put the sun at your subject’s back, a photographer only has until the sun clears the horizon to enjoy soft morning light. 

What are the best solutions to these lighting issues? Stick to those limited times of soft light, bring lighting equipment out to the fields, or choose locations with better shade. Everyone loves that amazing golden light mixed with happy sunflowers. But, I encourage you to pray for some clouds!

I have very limited time slots!

I will have several different days to choose from.   There are three different Sunflower patches I use.  A sunflower patch in Hopewell, A smaller sunflower patch in Mechanicsville and a Large sunflower patch in Goochland.  There maybe a fee to enter the farm so be prepared.   The mini session is 15 min and you get 5 digital downloads for $225 plus tax.  

The third challenge is heat and bugs. In August and September, the evenings in Richmond, VA  tend to be hot and muggy. You won’t want to forget your bug repellant.

Enjoy these images from previous years photographing families in several different sunflower fields.  If you would like to book a session please email me  jacki@jackigphotography.com

i had so much fun photographing all these families at the Sunflower field this year! Thank you for coming out during this pandemic. The field was just breath taking. Alvis Farms was an incredible host for the sunflower festival. Their 50+ acre sunflowers were the perfect backdrop for family photos.
