PC: Promised Farm Photography
Photographers' Access
These time slots are geared towards professional photographers. Photography services or cameras are not included. If you have a professional camera and come with paying clients or models you need to pay this fee.
By purchasing a spot, you the photographer, will have access to the farm to snap amazing pictures. Photographers' access will grant you a spot at the farm for the day you purchased it.
Please help us keep the cost low by doing the following:
-
Reading this entire page (it contains all the information you need to know!)
-
Learning how to navigate the reservation page and how to reschedule your sessions.
-
Subscribe to the newsletter so you can receive important information about the farm (When the calendar opens, severe weather updates, etc.)
There are two options for photographers to use the farm grounds:
Reservations:
Spring: Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays,
Summer/Fall: Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays,
We limit the amount of photographers that can be on site (only 20 spots per night). This option is great if you want a more intimate feel for you and your clients. No music or events will happen during these spots. Photographers' clients and models will pay their entry fee at the door.
Photographers, you can pay ahead for your clients the day of the session. You need to provide a list of names and make the payment at the check in area. Once your subjects arrives, they can just check in by name (Example: Smith family, party of 2, Johnson family party of 4, etc.).
Day time walk ins: No reservations needed for morning/afternoon hours Saturdays ( please make a reservation for sunset hours) . You will pay your photographers fee at the door, your clients/subjects will pay their visitors fee at the door.
Music, vendors, and events might be happening during Saturday mornings. Please keep this in mind when visiting. See our calendar for a full list of events.
