Fair Weather Farms

Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

Land of the free. Home of the brave.

Today we celebrate this incredible country and honor the men and women who have served and continue to serve to protect the freedoms we often take for granted.

To every service member, veteran, and the families who stand beside them through every deployment, homecoming, and sacrifice, thank you. Your strength, dedication, and love for this country will forever have our hearts.

Happy Independence Day! ❤️🤍💙

Some of our favorite people in our favorite garden. 💚

This little garden has become one of our favorite spots on the farm and it’s the perfect setting for family sessions, maternity sessions, couples, branding, or just about anything you can dream up.

The garden is available all summer as part of our Jump Around sessions, so come enjoy it while everything is in full bloom. And seriously…please pick some cucumbers! They’re growing out of our ears over here. 😂🥒

A huge thank you to for these beautiful photos. Photographers, you’re more than welcome to use them to help promote your sessions. Between this gorgeous garden and these beautiful people (yes we’re biased), they really showcase just how special this space is.

Last night we finally made family photos happen! Getting 10 adults in one place at the same time feels like an Olympic event, but somehow the stars aligned, and thankfully Hannah was available. ❤️

It’s funny how someone who started as “a random photographer” has become family. So much so that Marvin and Pork absolutely adore her, which of course meant they had to be part of the photos too. 🐾

After the session, watching all of our kids together completely melted my heart. They’ve had their ups and downs over the years, but seeing them now as adults, laughing, talking, and picking right back up where they left off, is something we will never take for granted.

Then we woke up to a few sneak peeks this morning, and Ryan and I were absolutely dying laughing. These sum us up perfectly. ❤️

Thank you, , for capturing our crazy, perfectly imperfect family exactly as we are. ❤️

A few of my favorite books have been sitting on the shelf collecting dust, so I figured it was time to share them!

We’ve started a little Fair Weather Farms Lending Library in the studio. 📚 Feel free to borrow a book, return it when you’re done, or even swap one of your own for the next person to enjoy.

Whether you’re here for a photo session, renting the studio, or visiting the farm, you’re welcome to take a peek.

The only rule? 😆 If a photographer is in the middle of a session, maybe wait until they’re finished before browsing. We’d like to keep everyone focused on capturing those beautiful moments!

Happy reading friends!❤️

✨ Our Summer Greenhouse is officially here! ✨

We’ve made the switch, and we’re so happy with how it turned out. Simple, timeless, and full of beautiful natural light—it’s the perfect backdrop for portraits, branding sessions, families, couples, maternity, and even intimate elopements.

This setup will be available from now through mid-September, when we transform the greenhouse for fall.

☀️ Lighting is beautiful throughout the day, but for the most comfortable experience during the summer months, we recommend booking in the mornings or later in the evenings.

Don’t wait—reserve the greenhouse for your next photo session or elopement. We’d love to welcome you to the farm! 🤍

A huge thank you to for these beautiful promo photos! Photographers, you’re welcome to share them. As always, please don’t alter or edit them using AI.

🍉 Friday, July 24 | 6:30–7:30 PM

Whether you’re capturing your family, little ones, maternity, couples, or simply celebrating summer, this is one of our favorite setups of the year.

❤️ Don’t wait! These are the only Watermelon Truck sessions we’ll offer in 2026. Once the season ends, all of the watermelons become a tasty treat for our farm animals! 🐮🐷🐐🍉

Happy Father’s Day to two of my favorite guys. ❤️

One is the dad who taught me that the best things in life are built with hard work, dirty hands, and a whole lot of love. Thank you, Dad, for always showing up, fixing what was broken, and reminding us that family comes first.

The other is the dad who makes this little farm feel like home. Whether he’s on a tractor, wrangling animals, building our next crazy idea, being our constant rock for our kids or making Josie laugh, he pours his heart into everything he does. Watching you as “Dad, Ninja Dad, Pops” has been one of my greatest joys.

Fair Weather Farms has always been about more than flowers, cows, and pretty pictures. It’s about creating a place where generations come together, where grandkids make memories with their grandparents, where dads carry little ones on their shoulders, and where families slow down long enough to enjoy the simple things.

Today we’re celebrating all the fathers, grandfathers, stepdads, bonus dads, and father figures who make life a little sweeter.

Happy Father’s Day from our farm to yours. 🤍
