the perfect country setting for professional photographers

Are you a photographer looking for a pretty, country setting for your next photo session? Schofield Farmhouse is it! Being a photographer myself, I knew that when we built our farmhouse I wanted to have plenty of pretty spots around the property so my clients could come to our home for their sessions. Now we are opening our property to other photographers as well.

With a focus on natural landscape and flowers, you will find so many pretty spots for photos as you explore the property. As an added bonus, we book our property to only one photographer at a time so you never have to worry about waiting for others to finish in order to use a particular spot. We encourage you to explore the property to find the best lighting and spots you like for your photos. We always have a project going so the property is constantly changing from season to season and will continue to grow year after year. You will have easy access to the following areas that are popular photo spots:

Mother Oak’s Tree Swing- Our children fondly named the giant oak in our front yard “Mother Oak” and the oversized wooden tree swing is a client favorite for photos. In early spring, daffodils bloom throughout this area. There is also a collection of stones near the tree that make a great photo spot as well. This is where we recommend you begin your session and then proceed to the left side of the house to the gardens and meadow.
Little Country Garden- Behind the tree swing to the left of the house is our little country garden. This quaint little garden has shade most of the day and gets beautiful lighting. It has an old tobacco fence, antique iron chairs, a concrete birdbath and more. You will see patches of English ivy and a variety of blooms from azaleas in early spring to butterfly bushes in summer— it just depends on the time of year.
The Meadow- On the left and back sides of our property, we have a little meadow with a mix of tall grass and wildflowers. We let nature work its magic so this rustic meadow is always changing depending on what is blooming at any given time. We plant a variety of flowers from year to year but typically there are Black Eyes Susans, Coreopsis, Cosmos and Zinnias. Please do not pick the flowers. We only mow the meadow once a year in late November to allow it to fully reseed itself. For your convenience there are walking paths cut throughout the meadow.
The Azalea Garden- Follow the winding stone path through our newest garden that will be lovely in spring when the azaleas bloom. We have also planted nearly 100 daffodil bulbs that will surely put on a show. We have an old green iron bench that sits beneath a large pine tree, a concrete and wood bench under a Weeping Willow tree and an old white iron bench at the end of the stone path with a pretty backdrop of the meadow.
The Forest Path- Walk the path beside the meadow along the forest’s edge to find lots of pretty wooded backdrops for photos. Depending on the time of year, you will see different blooms and colored foliage along the way. Follow the path through the back meadow turning toward the house and you’ll reach the driveway where you can finish your session on our porch.
The Farmhouse Porch- Photos on our old wooden swing, vintage pew bench or our stone front steps make pretty backdrops on our wrap around porch. Our home is white and the porch floor is light grey which makes for a neutral, light and airy aesthetic. At times our porch may be decorated for the season (Fall-Pumpkins on the Porch, etc.)
Old Ford Truck- For an additional fee, you can book our old Ford truck to add a special touch to your photos. The creative possibilities are endless. You can bring your own props and create the perfect backdrop for all kinds of seasonal themes like Easter, 4th of July, Fall Pumpkins/Mums and Christmas.
We are so excited to welcome you to Schofield Farmhouse for your next photo session location. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to book your next session’s location.
