Oh how adorable this momma and baby are! I met up with both of them at the sunflower fields at Sweet Flower Home in Buckeye and we wandered around in the beautiful sunflower fields getting photos.
I had so much fun meeting and photographing them at Sweet Flower Home in Buckeye, Arizona.

I was so happy for the pretty clouds we got for this photo shoot at the sunflowers at Rocker 7 Farm Patch. This was taken around 10 in the morning and those clouds just gave us dreamy light.
I think something about the color red looks amazing in sunflowers. I think it's sort of related to red being a bright/prime color and it matches the intensity of yellow sunflowers and especially looks great when blue skies are bright blue and have a similar intensity. So if you like wearing the color red, definitely consider it for your sunflower photo shoot.
I have read that Rocker 7 planted even more sunflowers than in past years, so I am very curious to see what that looks like. I appreciate that they always plant a fantastic variety - plenty of the traditional bright big yellow sunflowers, but cream and red and orange variations, too.
I have sunflower photo sessions coming up at Rocker 7 in October. I now only do sunflower sessions at Rocker 7 on Thursdays and Fridays. The place is so beloved (understandably so) and gets crowded on weekends, but if we meet up on a Thursday or Friday, we don't have to navigate the crowds. In all of these photos of Victoria and her husband, I had to edit out people in the background. With Thursday and Friday shoots, I shouldn’t have to do that as much.
Here is the info for those sessions coming up: https://book.usesession.com/i/7aUFvsYCJ
I have sessions at both Rocker 7 and a nearby sunflower farm called Sweet Flower Home.
Thanks to Victoria for having me photograph her and her little fam here! Thanks to Rocker 7 Farm Patch for creating such a magical place!
Here is what Rocker 7 is saying about their upcoming sunflower season:
It’s our 10th Anniversary on the farm, and we’re ready to help you make new memories! A lot has changed for us over the past ten years. The same fields you have enjoyed for fresh air and making memories are open, but in a simpler way for Pictures, Pumpkins and Play Areas. This year offers more of our signature sunflowers along with historic Arizona cotton and Sudangrass (Sorghum Hybrid) for your enjoyment. Yes, we will still have pumpkins for purchase! Our focus will be on celebrating the family farm, enjoying the outdoors, giving the kiddos a place to roam and explore, and enjoying some tasty treats from local food trucks and local vendors on the weekends along with local entertainers from time to time as well!
What’s included in admission?
Cotton Field
Sudan Field
Sunflower Field
Pumpkin Patch Entry
Jumping Pillow
Tractor Tire Playground
Pedal Carts
Pumpkins and concessions are sold separately, including vendors on Saturdays and Sundays. We do have an open food policy for anyone who would like to bring their own picnic to the farm; alcoholic beverages are not allowed.
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.)
