Behold The Beauty!

For more than a century, our family heritage has been intricately woven into the very fabric of this property.

Nestled within the serene embrace of our private sanctuary, discover a world unlike any other, where time seems to stand still and nature’s beauty unfolds in all its splendor.

In 2021, Jeremy and Amy reclaimed stewardship of the grove, heralding a new chapter in our family’s legacy. Since then, we’ve embarked on a journey of restoration, breathing fresh vitality into this cherished space. Whether you’re captivated by the stately rows of Stuart and Desirable pecan trees, or you find solace beneath the sprawling canopy of majestic oaks intermingled with the gentle rustle of saw palmetto, each vista presents a picturesque tableau, offering an endless array of photo-worthy moments.

As custodians of this precious land, we are thrilled to unveil a myriad of new offerings and experiences, as we continue to cultivate our passion for agriculture and conservation. Join us on this captivating odyssey, as we unveil innovative crops and enchanting settings. From the vibrant hues of sun-kissed trees to the tranquil serenity of shaded rows, there’s a scene waiting to be captured that will stir the imagination and leave an indelible imprint upon your soul. So, step into our world and let us guide you on a journey through the heart and soul of Real Florida.

FAQ

Can individuals book sessions and take their own photos?2024-04-12T15:18:21+00:00

Not at this time. We are asking that only professional photographers book sessions. If you do not have a photographer, we are happy to make recommendations for you, or, if you have a special circumstance that you’d like us to consider, please send us a message via our contact button.

What kind of shoes should I wear?2024-04-12T15:33:50+00:00

Our grove is definitely REAL FLORIDA land… you can wear whatever you’re most comfortable in (or kick your shoes off and enjoy some freedom), but know that you may run across ants, sandspurs, stinging nettles, thorns or any other natural poking, stinging plant or animal. We DO take care to keep the ground as clear as possible, but during certain times of year (especially spring during coreopsis season), we do not mow, so the grass may be high and contain an occasional thistle.

Can I bring my pets?2024-04-12T15:20:00+00:00

Sure! Just let us know ahead of time so we can pen up our “security department.”

What about my horse?2024-04-12T15:21:01+00:00

You are welcome to bring your horse to include in your photos. Just let us know you’re coming and provide a current coggins.

Is your property wheelchair accessible?2024-04-12T15:23:22+00:00

YES. All of our photo areas can be reached via wheelchair and/or we can assist you with our ATV. The restroom and changing space, however, are accessed via stairway (4 steps with handrail).

Do you have vignettes/backdrops setup?2024-04-12T15:25:48+00:00

During certain seasons, we will have backdrop settings (follow us on social to stay in the know), but the majority of the time, unless you’ve requested specific props or backdrop setups, we leave it to Mother Nature to provide the backdrop.

Is there always green resurrection fern on the trees?2024-04-12T15:28:18+00:00

No. That amazing fern withers and thrives based on the amount of moisture in the air – BUT – we can spray it and do our best to liven it up for you if you’ve booked during a dry season – If you’re hoping for lots of green, be sure to request that when you book your session.

Do you charge a cancellation fee?2024-04-12T15:41:52+00:00

Once you book a session, we add it to our calendar, preventing any other photographers from booking that time slot. So, if you cancel or reschedule, we lose a session’s full payment, and let’s be honest…. life is expensive and we all have bills to pay 🙂 That said, if you have an emergent circumstance or the weather just isn’t going to let it happen, we will apply credit to any session you book in the future. Any other reschedule will receive credit, but will incur a 15% re-booking fee.
