Best Location for a Sunflower Photoshoot | Herrington’s Pumpkins | Buskirk, NY
We bribed them with candy, whatever gets the job done!
I’ve never offered sunflower photoshoots before. But this year, I heard so many great things about Herrington’s Pumpkins in Buskirk, NY, that my husband and I decided to do a little location scouting with the kids. And despite a few days of weather closures, we made it there on the very last day they were open for the season!
First of all, the owners at Herrington’s are so kind and welcoming to photographers, which made us so happy to support another local business. Their fields are gorgeous, and they have props set up that anyone can use in their photos: a tractor, a gorgeous truck, and hay bales perfect for a model lean!
We arrived at 5:30pm, just in time for that golden hour light. And there were many other photographers there, but everyone was kind and respectful of each other, and enjoying the gorgeous scenery. We loved meeting fellow photographers and seeing their photos afterward!
The kids had SUCH a great time, and wanted to stay on that tractor all evening. They ran up and down the sunflower field paths, and loved being able to cut a few stems of their own. (The $5 entry fee comes with three stems to take home!)
So while I’ve not offered sunflower sessions in the past, I’m seriously considering it for next year! What do you think—would you do a sunflower photoshoot if I offered them?
