There’s a special kind of magic that happens on warm August evenings. The sun lingers just a little longer, casting a golden glow over everything it touches. The breeze is soft, the air is warm, and it’s the perfect time to slow down and savor the simple joy of being together.

Our annual sunflower sessions are designed to capture that exact feeling—those golden hour moments filled with light, laughter, and love.

Why August Evenings Are Perfect for Family Photos

August is when the world seems to pause for a moment. Summer is in full swing, but fall hasn’t quite arrived. The days are still long, the evenings are warm, and the lighting? It’s nothing short of magical.

There’s something about the way the sun dips low in the sky during those late summer evenings. It creates the most beautiful, soft, golden light that makes everything—your kids, your smiles, the sunflowers—absolutely glow. Photographers call this “golden hour” for a reason, and it’s the dreamiest time to take photos.

Room to Roam, Laugh, and Just Be Yourselves

Unlike more traditional family photo locations, our sunflower field is wide open, peaceful, and incredibly private. We rent out the entire space so it’s just us and a few other families—no crowds, no distractions. That means your little ones can run barefoot through the field, twirl in their sundresses, or pick wildflowers while we capture their authentic joy.

There’s something really special about watching kids explore a sunflower field for the first time. Their eyes light up, their smiles come easy, and you don’t have to coax them into posing—they’re naturally having fun. And when everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves, that’s when the real magic happens in photos.

A Unique and Stunning Backdrop

Let’s be honest—most family photos are taken in parks or at the beach. And while those spots are beautiful, sunflower sessions offer something totally different.

The vibrant yellow blooms, the towering green stalks, and the golden light filtering through the petals create a one-of-a-kind backdrop that feels fresh, playful, and timeless. These aren’t just pretty pictures—they’re a reflection of your family’s joy, your kids’ wonder, and the beauty of a summer well spent.

Plus, sunflower photos are seasonal, which makes them feel extra special. You only get this kind of magic once a year!

Plan Ahead and Check It Off Your List

Let’s be real—fall gets busy. School starts, routines kick in, and before you know it, it’s the holidays. Booking your sunflower session now gives you time to plan your outfits, coordinate with your partner (and maybe even bribe the toddler with snacks!), and check “family photos” off your to-do list before the rush.

Pro tip: Think neutral and earthy tones when picking your outfits—creams, soft blues, dusty pinks, and warm browns look gorgeous against the bright yellow sunflowers.
