Family & Lifestyle Sessions

Family photos should feel natural, easy, and true to who you are.

That’s why almost all of my sessions take place right here on our family farm—Heritage Hill Farm.

A group sits together in a wooded area covered with fallen autumn leaves during golden hour.

What Makes the Farm Special

Our farm isn’t a public park or a crowded photo spot. It’s quiet, private, and full of places that make families instantly relax. The land has been cared for for more than 50 years, and every part of it has its own look and feel.

Along with outdoor farm locations, I also offer studio sessions on the farm.

The studio is simple, clean, and perfect for:

  • Newborns
  • Babies and toddlers
  • Milestone sessions
  • Small families (up to 4 people)
  • Headshots

Testimonials
Child in denim and white plays joyfully in a pile of autumn leaves at sunset in the woods.

Going into a family shoot is always a little scary with toddlers and babies, but she made us feel completely relaxed and in the moment instead of posed in front of a camera! 😊 She is just the sweetest person that made us feel like we were spending time with our best friend and was patient and wonderful with our kiddos,even helping them spot critters and fish at the pond! Check her out and book your family session at her farm! You will not regret it!

Samantha goes above and beyond for us time after time! Our house is full of pictures from various sessions we've had with her. Large family sessions, maternity sessions, newborn sessions... She does it all, and we are so thankful for the work she does to give us treasures to cherish forever!

If you are looking for a photographer that doesn't only take the best pictures but also brings peace and tranquility to a photoshoot, you will not go wrong with Samantha Welch! She was fun, knowledgeable and such a pleasure to work with. She truly has a gift.
