Professional Photographer Policy and Procedures.

  • Sessions are to be reserved and paid for in advance using our online reservation tool.
  • During Festival days (example: Harvest and Sunflower Festivals) your talent or clients must pay entry fees for each person if wanting access to the Festival area.
  • Fees:
    • Thur-Sat
      • 10:00am to 2:00pm – $100
      • 2:00pm to 6:00pm – $100
        • These times and fees are the minimum.
        • Reservations for these blocks of time are to be made 48 hours in advance.
    • Sunday blocks:
      • 1:00pm to 7:00pm – $100
    • All time blocks are subject to our open season, typically Aug through October
    • Effective 5/29/24 time slots are only available during normal business hours. ALL SESSIONS MUST BE COMPLETED BY EACH END OF BUSINESS DAY
  • Identification:
    • Wearing a Stuckey Farm Professional Media Badge w/ Lanyard is required.
      • You may pick this and check in at the Admissions Gate
    • $20 cash or drivers license is required to leave as a deposit when picking up the lanyard and badge. This deposit will be returned when lanyard and badge are returned.
    • On the day of the photo session, photographers/videographers must pick up and return the badge to the gate.
  • Please inform your clients specifically where to meet you. And be waiting for them. Our team is very busy and wants everyone to have a great time, yet it is challenging to accommodate “lost” clients or talent on our large property.
  • We understand that it’s difficult to work around large crowds. Please be kind, gracious, and do your best to not disrupt the experience of others. And please make us aware of those not being gracious to you!
  • Static mini sessions, large setups such as backdrops, large props or anything that blocks guests access to our trees for long periods of time must be pre-approved. Chairs, toys, flowers, or other small props that are quickly moved are ok. You may call the store at (317) 769-4636 or email us at info@stuckeyfarm.com.
  • Please do not pick apples from trees, sunflowers, corn, pumpkins or harvest produce of any kind for props unless paying for them at the store when the session is complete. Ours is a food product that we desire not to waste.
    • We are not allowed to sell or serve apples from the ground.
  • Stuckey Farm displays or program items may not be moved without approval from a team member. Call the store at (317) 769-4636 or email Info@StuckeyFarm.com
  • Proof of profession required when reserving a session.
    • Place this info in the notes section of your checkout cart.
    • This may be a business website, Facebook, or blog URL.

    • These will be in coordination with Photographer/Videographer and client.
    • Consent forms will be provided at the time of request.
  • We ask for proof of results/outcomes to be submitted to Stuckey Farm after session day.
    • This may be examples and is for proof of purpose only, not for Stuckey Farm promotional use.
    • If the end product is for use on the internet, print or broadcast distribution, please let us know where we can find it. We simply would love to see your great work!
