They're Growing Right in Front of My Lens — Sunflower Mini Sessions in Sonoma County

Jul 23, 2025 | By: Sheila Johnson

I swear I blinked and suddenly my niece and nephews weren’t little anymore. (except for little bubba! He's never been little j/k)

We were out in the sunflower field I planted here in Sonoma County—laughing, playing, chasing light—and I found myself tearing up behind the camera. They’ve grown inches over the summer. Their faces are changing. The baby voices are gone. And I realized: I’m photographing memories that will never come again.

That’s the heart of these sunflower mini sessions in wine country.

Yes, the golden blooms are stunning. Yes, the light is magical. But more than anything, this is a moment to pause and preserve who your children are right now. Before the next growth spurt. Before school starts again. Before the season shifts.

Sunflower season is short—just like childhood.

These limited-edition mini photo sessions in a private Sonoma County sunflower field are only available while the flowers are in peak bloom. It’s warm, peaceful, and bursting with golden summer light—the perfect setting for authentic, joyful family portraits or a beautiful milestone moment for your kids.

Whether they’re barefoot in the blooms or clinging to your hand as the sun sets behind you, you’ll walk away with something priceless:
a photograph of the way they are right now.

Why Sunflower Fields Are Perfect for Summer Portraits

Why Sunflower Fields Are Perfect for Summer Portraits

Sunflower fields are more than just beautiful—they’re a visual symbol of summer. With golden blooms, tall stems, and warm natural light, they create a dreamy, sun-drenched backdrop that’s both vibrant and romantic.

Whether you're planning a playful family session, updated couple portraits, or milestone images for your child, a sunflower field offers the perfect balance of natural beauty and emotional connection.

Sonoma County is especially ideal for outdoor portraits in summer, thanks to our golden light, open landscapes, and vineyard-lined backroads. This sunflower field was grown just for these sessions, offering a private and peaceful location you won’t find anywhere else.

Tips for Making the Most of Your Sunflower Session

 

  1. Arrive early to settle in and avoid rushing—kids (and grown-ups!) do better when they’re relaxed.

  2. Dress in colors that complement the surroundings—cream, sage, rust, and soft blues look stunning against the yellow blooms.(See my free color guide below!)

  3. Bring a simple prop if you’d like: a straw hat, picnic blanket, or favorite flower crown adds a touch of personal style.

  4. Don’t worry about perfection. Some of the best photos come from candid laughs and tiny moments of connection.

  5. Trust your photographer! I’ll guide you every step of the way to make sure you look amazing and feel at ease!

What You'll Receive After Your Session

After your session, you’ll receive a private online gallery where you can:

  • View and select your included images

  • Order additional digitals or fine art prints

  • Share favorites with family and friends

  • Download high-resolution files for keepsakes

I also offer beautiful printed products—like linen-covered albums and ready-to-hang wall art—that are perfect for turning your sunflower session into lasting art for your home.
