Spring Has Sprung (And So Have the Tulips)

Okay, let’s get real for a sec. Spring is here, the birds are chirping, and it’s the season for “OMG, look at all the pretty flowers!” But you know what’s even better? A mommy and me photoshoot in the epic tulip fields at Dalton Farms in Mt. Laurel, NJ. Seriously, this place is a goldmine for stunning photos that’ll make your Instagram followers jealous (in the best way possible).

The Quest for Perfect Photos (A.K.A. A Spring Mini Session Adventure)

Spring Mini Sessions: They’re short, sweet, and packed with memories you’ll want to frame (or send to your grandma). Perfect for busy moms who don’t have time for a full-day photoshoot but still want those heart-melting moments captured in a NJ family photographer's masterpiece.

As much as I’d love to photograph your toddler’s entire life story, these sessions are designed for moms who are like, “Can we get this done before my kid’s snack time?” Spoiler alert: we can, and we will! Plus, we’ll squeeze in as much cuteness as humanly possible.

And trust me, Dalton Farms? It’s not just tulips. It’s magic. It's like stepping into a Pinterest board made of dreams, minus the pressure to perfect your DIY projects. I’ll be there to snap those fleeting moments of toddler joy (like when they find a ladybug or pretend to eat dirt—because toddlers).

Dalton Farms: The Place Where Time Slows Down (And You Can Ignore Your To-Do List)

The tulip fields at Dalton Farms, located right here in Mt. Laurel, are, let’s just say, #Goals. Each row of blooms is like Mother Nature’s personal backdrop designer, and when you step into that sea of colors, you’ll feel like you’re in a fairy tale, minus the wicked stepmothers and poison apples.

I’m telling you, there’s something special about watching your little one run wild (or dramatically flop down into the tulips) while I catch every smile, giggle, and tiny tantrum (because, hey, toddlers).

So whether you're a mom from Mt. Laurel or a nearby South Jersey town like Swedesboro or Sicklerville, Dalton Farms is worth the short drive. And don’t worry about traveling too far. I’ve been known to make road trips to the most magical places.

Candid Moments, Even If Your Toddler’s Idea of a “Pose” Is Falling Over

I’m not into stiff, posed photos—no one has time for that. What I am into is capturing those spontaneous, “Did my kid just do that?” moments. Picture this: Your little one, knee-deep in tulips, trying to smell the flowers like they’re definitely not going to sneeze. That’s the stuff.

"But What If My Kid Is a Runner?" Don’t Worry, I Got This.

Okay, so your kid might take off like a little blur through the tulips. This happens. But guess what? That’s actually prime photo material—sprint mode = adorable action shot. Plus, if you’re lucky, we’ll get a classic shot where they’re completely unaware that their mom’s about to chase them down like a toddler ninja. Pure. Comedy. Gold.

The Magic of Spring Light (Because Every Mom Deserves Some Glowy Photos)

Let’s talk about the real star of the show: Spring light. Dalton Farms has this glow that makes every tulip look like it’s been kissed by a magical fairy godmother. Whether we’re shooting at sunrise, midday, or the golden hour (yes, there’s such a thing), the light will turn even your chaotic family moment into a masterpiece.

As the sun rises, the tulips light up like they’re saying, “Hey, let’s make this photoshoot so Instagrammable that even your most skeptical friends will be impressed.” The soft morning light? Perfect for those sweet “I love you” moments with your toddler. By noon, the tulips turn into bright, vibrant pops of color, making every shot feel like it’s straight out of a dream.

More Than Just Photos—It's a Family Memory

At the end of the day, this isn’t just about getting the perfect photo (though let’s be real, that’s a big perk). It’s about capturing the raw, beautiful moments of you and your little one exploring, laughing, and bonding in the tulip fields.

And when you look at those photos years from now, you'll remember how chaotic, beautiful, and hilarious that spring day was. You know, when your kid tried to eat a flower. Or ran off into a sea of color. Or tried to give a tulip a hug (because, why not?).

So, When Do We Start?
