Private Photography Session Details

  • The Farm can be reserved by the hour for photography sessions at a fee of $45/hour, which is to be inclusive of your time to set up and breakdown.  Fees are reserved in whole hour time slots only.
  • Only one photographer may reserve the farm per time slot
  • During your reservation, you have access to the growing fields and greenhouse.  The shed may be open upon request.
  • Photo sessions are reserved on a first-paid, first-served basis.  Sessions are not considered booked until full payment is received.

General Policies

We are first a foremost an operational farm.  Entrance onto the property is only permitted during public events and approved Private Sessions.  Trespassing onto the property outside of these times is unlawful, not permitted and not tolerated. Be respectful and aware of the natural environment, equipment, neighboring residents, crops and farm operations.

Do not pick the flowers or any other crops growing at the time.  If you would like a bouquet for your shoot or would like to include a Pick-Your-Own experience, it may be added on for an additional fee.

If the property is damaged including crops, Rooted Farmstead reserves the right to bill the reserving party for damages (i.e. if the photographer makes the reservations, the photographer will be billed)

Absolutely no glitter, confetti, rice, silly string, fake flower petals, fake snow or other “tossing” items may be used.  This is a NIGHTMARE to clean, contaminates our soil and is a danger to our animals.  If it is used, the reserving party will be charged an hourly rate of $50/hour for cleaning.

Well-behaved dogs (and other pets) are allowed, but must remain on-leash at all times and must be closely monitored to ensure they do not enter planting beds. Again, any damaged crops are expected to be paid for by the photographer.  Waste must be removed and disposed of properly.  

Please be respectful to other photographers and conclude your session within your reserved time allocation. Multiple sessions are scheduled daily, back-to-back.  

If policies are not followed and your session is interrupted no refund or extended time will be made (i.e. returning a wandering child, catching a fleeing dog, stopping to remind you to PLEASE not use glitter....) 

Safety 

  • Pennsylvania Agritoutism Activity Protection Act 27 of 2021 applies (see bottom of page)
  • Children and animals must remain with their guardians and be supervised at all times.  
  • Scott Avenue is an active farm lane that serves multiple properties.  Please keep an eye on children and animals as there is regular traffic on this roadway.
  • Stay off any and all equipment including but not limited to tractors, ladders, etc.
  • Please be aware of uneven ground, bugs, and critters.
  • There is limited shade on the property.  We recommend being prepared with sunscreen and plenty of water during your session.
