This sunflower shoot in Buckeye, Arizona at Sweet Flower Home farm with Stacey and her baby was done at sunrise on November 2nd. Sunrise sessions sometimes work really well for babies, so I suggest considering them! I will get up early and meet you at the sunflowers! I used a gold light reflector to get that glowy gold look. I shoot sunflower sessions in May and June in Gilbert, Arizona, in Dewey during September and August, and in Buckeye in October and very early November.

Rocker 7 Farm Patch Sunflower Photo Session for Tiffany + Family
Tiffany and her family at Rocker 7 Farm Patch in Buckeye, Arizona.
One day in October 2020 I heard about the sunflower fields planted by this farming family in Buckeye, Arizona. I just had to see these sunflowers for myself and I really wanted to photograph people there. Years before, I had been part of a group of people who made four acres of sunflowers bloom near Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix and I have just loved sunflowers ever since.
I love photographing in the sunflower fields at Rocker 7 Farm Patch (located at 19601 W Broadway Rd. Buckeye, AZ 85326.) I met up with Tiffany and her young adult/teenage kids. Such a beautiful family!
Rocker 7 Farm Patch plants a variety of colors of sunflowers - cream/red/orange/dark red/lemon yellow, and of course the classic dinner plate-sized buttercup deep yellow sunflowers. Rocker 7 is a super popular location and for good reason! You can have a ton of family fun there. In addition to sunflowers, there are food trucks on the weekends, a pumpkin patch (with very reasonably priced pumpkins in all sorts of sizes) picnic tables under a large shaded structure, a large air pillow/jump pillow under shade for kids to run around on, and depending on the year, there are cotton fields or sorghum fields to wander through and get photos.
Going forward I will be doing photo shoots there on weekdays, just because Rocker 7 is such a beloved and popular place for fall entertainment. In all of these photos that you see here, I photoshopped people out of the background. I have found that when I go there on Thursday or Friday afternoons, my clients and I have the place practically to ourselves. And very much the opposite on Saturdays and Sundays when we have to share this gorgeous location with a lot of other sunflower-loving folks! (Although you can beat the crowds by going early.)

Sweet Flower Home Sunflowers
It’s June. It’s hot. Arizona hasn’t had any monsoons yet. I am finding myself thinking of fall and sunflowers a lot these past few days. I will definitely be doing sunflower photo sessions at Sweet Flower Home in Buckeye again. This mom and her baby girl and her baby-on-the-way looked so beautiful out in the sunflowers on this October evening when the weather was turning from hot to beautiful. I will be posting info about my fall 2024 sunflower sessions pretty soon.
