Private, Exclusive Location
Unlike public sunflower fields that can become crowded with photographers and visitors, your portrait session takes place at a private sunflower field located just minutes from Monarch Ranch Butterfly Conservatory.
The exact address is shared only with booked clients to help preserve the beauty of the property and provide a peaceful, uninterrupted experience.
This allows us to photograph without large crowds in the background, creating a more relaxed and enjoyable session.
The Portrait Experience
From the moment you inquire until your finished artwork is delivered, you’ll be guided through every step of the process.
Consultation Call / Booking
We’ll begin with a personal consultation to learn more about your family, your vision, and who you’re hoping to photograph. This helps us customize your experience and answer any questions before your session. If you are ready to book, you may reserve your spot during this call.
Preparing for Your Session
We’ll provide guidance on clothing, colors, styling, and how to prepare so you feel confident and excited when your session arrives.
Your Portrait Session
Your session is relaxed and natural.
Rather than stiff poses, I’ll gently guide you through movements and interactions that create authentic expressions and genuine connection. You’ll never have to wonder what to do with your hands or worry about feeling awkward!
My goal is for you to simply enjoy the experience while I create beautiful images you’ll cherish for years to come.
Viewing Your Images
After your session, we’ll schedule a personalized image reveal where you’ll view your portraits for the first time and select the collection that best fits your family.
Why book Sunflower Portraits in Fall?
Sunflowers bloom for only a short window each year, making this one of our most limited portrait experiences.
Their warm golden tones create a timeless backdrop unlike any other season, making October one of the most anticipated times of the year for portraits.
Because bloom timing depends on weather and growing conditions, availability is extremely limited once the flowers reach their peak.
Why book with Katey Reid Photography?
I believe portraits should feel effortless, joyful, and genuine. My goal is to create an experience where you can slow down, connect with the people you love, and leave with more than beautiful photographs. You’ll leave with memories of the experience itself.
Every session is thoughtfully guided, allowing you to relax while I focus on capturing authentic connection, beautiful light, and timeless artwork you’ll treasure for generations.

Rustic Truck Backdrop Option
The sunflower fields are expected to bloom in October, creating one of the most breathtaking portrait settings of the year. Whether you’re planning family portraits, maternity, couples, senior portraits, branding images, or simply celebrating a season of life, our sunflower experience is designed to capture timeless memories surrounded by thousands of vibrant blooms.
While we currently anticipate blooms in October, weather, rainfall, temperature, pests, and other natural growing conditions can influence when the flowers reach their peak.
