Vermont winters are long, but the payoff? The Green Mountain State starts to look like itself again. Flowers bloom. The green on trees and in fields emerges seemingly overnight. It’s that magical moment when we finally thaw out. If you’ve been dreaming of spring family photos in Vermont, my spring mini sessions are open for booking!

These quick, 30-minute sessions are designed to be fun, relaxed, and the perfect way to capture a milestone—whether it’s updated family portraits, a new pregnancy or a sweet Mommy & Me session just in time for Mother’s Day. No stress, no overthinking—just you, your loved ones, and a gorgeous Vermont orchard in full bloom.

Spring Mini Photo Sessions – Frolic in the Orchard with me!

1. The Dreamy Location: Chapin Orchard

If you’ve never been to Chapin Orchard in Essex, you’re in for a treat! This spot is pure Vermont magic—rolling hills, rows of apple trees, and in May? An explosion of pink and white blossoms. It’s like stepping into a storybook. The soft petals, the sweet smell of spring in the air—perfection. This orchard creates the most stunning backdrop, making your photos look straight out of a dream.

Plus, it’s the kind of place where kids can run around and just be themselves—so sessions always feel natural and full of personality.

2. What to Expect in a Mini Session

These sessions are mini but mighty! Here’s how it works:

30-minute session – Just the right amount of time to get amazing photos without losing anyone’s attention (looking at you, toddlers and partners who tolerate photos).
Perfect for all kinds of milestones – Maternity, family, siblings, couples, or just because—whatever you want to celebrate, this is your moment.
A relaxed, playful vibe – Expect lots of movement, cuddles, twirls, hand-holding, and giggles. I’ll guide you through natural poses that don’t feel awkward.
A breathtaking backdrop – With Chapin Orchard in full bloom, your photos will be filled with soft colors and warm spring light.

3. Bonus: The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift

If you’re looking for a meaningful and heartfelt Mother’s Day gift, a spring photo session is the perfect way to celebrate the moms in your life. Whether it’s for yourself, your partner, your own mom, or a close friend, these sessions offer the chance to capture the beauty of motherhood in a way that lasts forever. Imagine gifting a mom the opportunity to step in front of the camera with her little ones—no distractions, no rushed selfies, just pure, authentic moments of love and connection.

4. What to Wear for a Spring Photo Session

Choosing outfits for your session doesn’t have to be stressful! I always recommend soft, neutral tones, creams or pastels that complement this particular spring setting. Flowy dresses, linen shirts, and subtle patterns work beautifully in the orchard. Avoid bold logos or neon colors, as they can distract from the natural beauty of the scene. And remember—comfort is key! If you feel good in what you’re wearing, it will show in your photos.

Limited Availability – Book Your Spot

Spring doesn’t stick around for long, and neither do these sessions! Because I time these with peak apple blossoms, they happen for one week only in May, and spots always go fast. Whether you want to celebrate a milestone or just freeze a moment in time with your loved ones, now’s your chance to make it happen.
