What an incredible year it has been capturing the joy and love of families against some amazing backdrops! One of my favorite spots to photograph at this year has been For the Love of Flowers Farm located in Franksville, Wisconsin. Their gorgeous field of flowers, from which clients were able to pick their own bouquet to take home, create a classic look of warmer days full of color. This year, we kept the fun at the flower farm alive into the fall with Vintage Truck Minis after the flowering season was over. Even more magical moments were shared and it is an event I can’t wait to host again.


Midsummer the flower farm added a vintage pickup truck to their field ambiance, which my kiddos lovingly nicknamed the Mater truck. Considering Cars is currently their favorite movie, it was a great way to entice them to take photos in front of the antique vehicle. This addition amidst the blooming fields was nothing short of a stroke of brilliance. It adds a touch of nostalgia and whimsy, creating an idyllic setting for families to create everlasting memories.

This year, there were two delightful themes offered: a rustic harvest ambiance and a festive Christmas setting. Allowing families to choose between these themes allowed their unique stories to unfold against each backdrop which was an absolute delight to observe. Whether it was the rustic charm of autumn or the snowy trees of the holiday season, each session sparkled with its own special magic.
