We are doing it again!!! Farm Flower Photos at Windrush Farm with Chloris Floral, this Saturday March 10th. We’d love for you and yours to come play with flowers and lambs with us. To sign up CLICK HERE.
ps: the flower of this year is tulip and it’s going to be beautiful!
Last year I offered Farm Family Photo Shoots at Windrush Farm and we had so much fun…
That we are doing it again this year. 
Sessions are 45 minutes and include 10 high resolution digital files of your choice.
Additional images will be available for purchase.
We recommend wearing clothes & shoes you don’t mind getting dirty…
And bringing a colorful blanket to spread out in the grass.
While we will do our best to take photos with baby animals…
They are baby animals, so we can not guarantee they will always cooperate…
But we can guarantee that we’ll have lots of fun on the farm…
And you’ll have lots of cute photos to prove it.
Farm Family Photo Sessions Dates:
March 30th-April 2nd
April 6th-April 9th

Our first ever Farm Flower Photos with Chloris Floral and Grace and Gather at Windrush Farm was so beautiful, we can hardly stand it…
Outside the barn was crazy with rain and hail storms, but inside our barn was like…
We had so much fun that we would love to do it again.
At another farm. In another state. With different animals. And with lots more people. WE are OPEN to anything. If you’d like to play with flowers on a farm, please send us a message and let us know.
Thank you times a million to Laura Schneider for helping make it all happen, once again.
(All of these photos were photographed on medium format film.)
My reply: Yes and very much yes….
Thank you, MALT, for the work you do protecting farmland and for working with me for the past 10 years. This was my favorite MALT photo shoot yet.
And thank you to my excellent pilot, John, for the incredible early morning tour. I’m happy to fly with you again any time!
As photographers, we spend so much time working hard all by ourselves.
So I wanted to create a space where photographers can create, share, learn and play together.
And in 2013 we hosted our first Farm Photo Workshop.
After two successful years of providing space for other people to play and learn,
I realized that I wasn’t creating space for myself to play and learn as well, because I was too busy hosting.
This year I wanted to play and learn too.
So I changed it up.
Instead of hosting a workshop… I hosted a playshop.
Instead of one person teaching: we were all teaching and we were all learning. 
It was tricky hosting and photographing, there are definitely things I would do better next year. 
But it was really fun.
And I am more inspired than ever to try new things… 
To collaborate…
And to play.
I hope I always make time to play.
BIG love and HUGE thanks to:
Mimi Luebbermann for creating and generously sharing her inspiring Windrush Farm.
Laura Schneider for her endless drive and motivation (without Laura this Farm Photo (Play)shop absolutely would not have happened.)
Mike Byrne, Blake Farrington (of Samy’s,) Mike Fischer, Adrian Hallauer and Hubert Kang for sharing their lighting wisdom and resources.
Alysia Andriola, Alexis Scarborough and Eliza Mauer for sharing their enviable style and bountiful props.
Arann Harris for holding up the fort and the dough.
All of our beautiful models and their family members who drove them.
Della Fattoria, Thistle and Petaluma Coffee for donating locally made delicious sustenance.
The Opera House for donating lovely locally made props.
And all of the talented photographers who came to create, share, learn and play.
Timm Ranch sheep shearing with Fibershed.
The grass is green and the baby animals are bouncing… Come celebrate spring with Family Photos at Windrush Farm:

*We will do our best to take photos with baby animals, but because they are baby animals, we can not guarantee they will always cooperate. But no matter what, we will get get cute photos of your family on a farm…
If only all photo shoots could happen at sunset, with perfectly fluffy puffy clouds, donkeys, barns, brand new tiny lambs and a community of lovely people who work to take care of them. Thank you, Fibershed, for bringing me out of my editing shell to Bodega Pastures. Look for a full Farm Story on Fibershed coming soon.
Arann Harris and the Farm Band, Sam Chase and Marty O’Reilly were supposed to play at the Mystic Theater tonight…
But as it turned out, the venue double booked the night and so they canceled the show.
At first my husband was crushed.
But then we started brainstorming…
Where else could they play in Petaluma?
We wanted somewhere authentic.
Somewhere people would naturally want to be.
We went through a long list of potential options, but we always came back to the farm.
And after experiencing the pure joy and love (as my three year old put it) that happened today…
It makes you wonder why…
Arann Harris and The Farm Band would ever want to play anywhere else. 
Which is why I am urging him to host more concerts for other musicians on a regular basis.
It’d be like Prairie Home Companion meets Dirt Bag Wine Country Living…
And he’d be like Garrison Keillor, but with a bloody nose… definitely not for everyone, but definitely authentic.
All those in favor of more farm concerts please send your vote to Arann Harris now:

Animal Music at Windrush Farm is back…
And these three talented music teachers would like to sing…
Shake…
Dance…
Visit… 
Explore…
Wiggle…
Boogie…
And Bounce…
With you and your kids at Windrush Farm this September…
