Tree farm minis are one of my favorite days of the year, and this season’s sessions at Maple Hill Farm in Barton, Vermont were everything I could’ve hoped for. We had the kind of weather photographers dream about—a magical snowfall, the perfect filtered light, and very little wind. The day was smooth, joyful, and full of laughter.


I photographed nine wonderful families this year, each bringing their own personality and holiday cheer. The tree farm setting creates such an easy, comfortable atmosphere—kids explore, parents laugh, and everyone settles in quickly.


Maple Hill Farm deserves the biggest shoutout. They take immaculate care of their trees — rows of perfectly trimmed evergreens that make every backdrop look intentional and stunning. The farm is welcoming in every way, from their cozy fire to warm up between shots to their hot cocoa bar that makes the day feel even more festive.


Their farm stand is always stocked with all the Vermont goodness:

• Maple syrup and other maple products

• Hats, wreaths, ornaments

• And other locally made treats that make perfect holiday gifts


They also go above and beyond for families visiting the farm by setting up props throughout the property—there’s a vintage ski lift chair and a beautifully decorated door tucked between the trees for fun photo ops. There’s still time to get your tree from them, too!  They’re open this weekend (December 5th-7th) from 9:00 until 4:00. Go explore their gorgeous farm, take some fun pictures with their props, and cut the prettiest Christmas tree you’ve ever had!


Thank you to all nine families who braved the chilly air and came out to make some winter magic with me. And thank you again to Maple Hill Farm for creating such a welcoming, picture-perfect space for these sessions.


I can’t wait to be back next year. ❤️🎄
