Southern Oregon, specifically Medford and Jacksonville areas are full of orchards! Pear, apple, peach orchards fill the valley! They are gorgeous and one of the highlights around here! One of our favorite summertime and fall activities as a family is to go to our local peach orchard and stock up for the year! Our kids love it and we do too!
So when there are little ones for a session, I always throw out the option to do a session at the amazing orchard in Medford called The Orchards at Shaw Estate! Not only does this property have the orchard but you can have a wedding here, or stay on site at their cute Airbnb!
This sweet family wanted to capture the excitement of expecting another little one into their family! We went to the orchard and let their toddler run around, enjoy the pears and create a fun baby announcement! There are many really dear moments within this session. I loved them picking a pear, running through the trees, even finding a four leaf clover!
I will always recommend an orchard session for families! I think the images below are proof of how fun and gorgeous they can be!
