Little Dipper Farm provides acres of beautiful space for photographers of all levels. For those using Little Dipper Farm for noncommercial use, Little Dipper Farm does not require a photography membership. Our annual photography membership allows amateur and professional photographers alike access to Little Dipper Farm for professional use.

What does an annual photography membership entail?

An annual photographer membership allows professional and amateur photographers access to Little Dipper Farm for posed or formal pictures, i.e. engagement, wedding, senior year, family photos.

Our annual photography membership allows multiple sessions for one year starting from the membership purchase date. This is ideal for professional photographers who will regularly use the Little Dipper Farm as a photo shoot location. An annual membership covers one photographer. A business with multiple photographers shooting different clients concurrently need memberships for each photographer. The membership is $350 per year. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding an annual photography membership.

Rules for Photo Sessions

  • Photographers and clients must stay on trails or lawn areas at all times. No walking into garden beds, climbing rock walls, or going off trail.
  • Photographers must stay with their props at all times.
  • No trampling, picking, or collecting flowers, leaves, or boughs. No disturbing animals.

If you fail to follow our policies you risk losing your photography privileges at Little Dipper Farm and forfeiting the membership fee. Please note:

  • You must pre-register online 
  • Areas cannot be reserved, and photography does not take priority over other visitor activities. Visitors are free to use any area at any time.
  • You may not use props that are not allowed at Little Dipper Farm or could cause ecological harm, such as smoke bombs, glitter, and confetti. Allowable props may only be placed on lawns and trails. Props may not be left unattended.
  • Little Dipper Farm reserves the right to not allow photography membership access for certain dates when photography sessions would interfere with scheduled events.
