Professional Photography
Professional photographers will need to make arrangements to pay admission for their clients. Photographers will also be asked to pay the admittance fee (per person, per day). We will plant different sunflower fields at different times so that we have several weeks of blooms. A majority of props will be moved when each new sunflower field blooms. We plan to have our first field in full bloom mid-July and additional fields to continue into mid-September. Please note that Mother Nature controls this entire process.
Admission for the sunflower field is $5 per person. You will need to arrange payment for admission for everyone entering the field. There are no reservation or tickets at this point, we operate as pay as you arrive. Evenings are generally busy and you will be sharing the field with other photographers. However, we space out props within the field. Please do not pick sunflowers in the field as our goal is to keep the flowers there for amazing photography. Harvested sunflowers to use in pictures are available for sale in the farm stand.
The u-cut flower field will have some great photo opportunities as well. For professional photography in both the sunflower field and the u-cut flower field the admission is $7 per person. You can also include a u-cut jar for your clients to pick flowers for $15. This will provide flowers that can be used for photography throughout the flower fields.
Throughout the season, we keep Facebook and Instagram updated with current field conditions. This will be the best source of information.
Please review rules below and make sure your clients are aware of them as well. Thank you for helping us preserve the field and farm property for all to enjoy.
Just want to photograph the flowers and pollinators? You'll just pay admission for your self. We appreciate you tagging us on Facebook and Instagram (we love to see your photography skills- that's one of the reasons we operate the farm stand), but it's not required.
Thanks for the interest and let us know if you have additional questions! You can send us a message on Facebook messenger, email us at ankleyfamilyfarm@gmail.com, or text Joe at 810-247-3680.
