🌷

The snow has melted (finally) and that can only mean one thing: it’s time to start thinking about spring! And what better way to kick start the season and celebrate warmer days ahead than with a vibrant, fun filled photo session at Wicked Tulips Flower Farm?

If you’ve been dreaming of stunning family photos surrounded by endless rows of colorful blooms, this is the sign you’ve been waiting for. I’m talking about more than just pictures; I’m talking about creating timeless memories with your loved ones in a truly beautiful setting.

The Magic of Wicked Tulips

If you haven’t been yet, you are in for a treat. Walking into a Wicked Tulips field is like walking into a painting. There’s an energy, bursts of color, and the sweetest smell of spring in the air.

This year, there are two incredible locations to choose from:

• North Kingstown, RI: This is their newest and largest field EVER! 😲 We are talking massive scale and unparalleled photo opportunities. Expect over 750,000 tulips!
• Preston, CT: A beloved classic, perfect for stunning photos.

Why Book Your Session with Me?

I’m not just a photographer who shows up at the farm. I’ve been offering photo sessions at Wicked Tulips for nine years! For a long time, I was a preferred photographer there when they had that program, and I continue to work closely with the farm for their own photography needs.

What does that mean for you?

• I Know All the Ins & Outs: From how to pull your tulip perfectly from the ground to the subtle rules that keep the farm beautiful, I understand it all.
• I Know How to Beat the Crowds: I know the tricks to finding that perfect spot, and flowing with the crowd. And if someone does walk by behind you? I will work my magic and photoshop them out of the image.
• I Know the Sweet Spots: I can find the most photogenic rows and pockets of tulips for your session. I also know how to pose you for the best images so that you appear to be in endless rows of tulips.

Candid, Relaxed, and Fun!

Forget stiff, forced poses. I’m all about capturing the candid laughs and genuine smiles that make your family unique. My goal is to make your session feel easy, fun, and completely authentic.

I want you to walk away from your session not just with beautiful photos, but with a happy memory. My absolute favorite thing to hear is when Dads and kids walk away saying, “That was actually fun!” And I promise to help prepare your family or significant other for what to expect with the weather, so everyone feels comfortable and ready.

The Nitty-Gritty (and a HUGE Insider Tip!):

I know you have questions about logistics, and I’ve got you covered.

This year, the optimal time for photos before the fields become too bare is just shy of a two-week window! In past years, the two locations offset in their blooms which provided a longer window of opportunity. Not this year. They are predicted to bloom at the same time. This is why booking early is essential to secure your spot.

Two things can happen in a u-pick field. The flowers can start to pass their peak. They can also start to get picked over and rows become empty. I always ensure my sessions happen when there are plenty of flowers for great photos.

Your Session Experience:

• Duration: Each mini session is 20 minutes—the perfect length to keep kids engaged and Dads happy!
• What’s Included: You will receive a minimum of 15 high-quality, edited images capturing those genuine moments. We will include a mix of posed and candid styled images.

Tickets Made Easy:

• Tickets to the farm are not included in the session fee.
• The “Pro” Advantage: Photography tickets are different than general admission. They are flexible and can be moved to different times or days if the weather doesn’t cooperate.
• You purchase these through me, and then reimburse me for them on the day of the session. This keeps things seamless and ensures we have the flexibility we need for perfect light and weather.

Ticket Pricing:

• Adults (18+): $24.95 (includes 10 tulips to take home!)
• Kids (5-17): $5.50
• Kids 4 & Under: FREE
  • Please note: Dogs are not allowed at Wicked Tulips Flower Farm. If you are interested in a session with your pup, please take a look at my daffodil sessions in Newport.
