Big Blossom Event
2025
For a few short weeks each year, the orchards at Murray Family Farms burst into bloom. Rows of white and pink blossoms create the perfect backdrop for family photos, maternity sessions, engagement shoots, senior portraits, and spring content of all kinds.
But the experience doesn’t stop at photos.
After capturing blossoms, head into the farm fun area to enjoy limited time lawn games, and enjoy the Blue Bloom Lavendar Lemonade!
Everyone’s welcome, but photographers get in free!
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a hobbyist with a passion for capturing beautiful moments, we’re offering free admission at the gate for photographers during Portraits in the Orchards.
To qualify:
1️⃣ Bring a professional camera when picking up wristbands.
