General Policies
- Be respectful and aware of the natural environment, equipment, other people, crops and our home.
- Nothing may be picked and used during your session, unless paid for in advance. If you damage any flowers, crops, etc. you are expected to purchase them. Damaged crops hurt our small family business and will prevent us from offering this opportunity in the future.
- Children must be supervised at all times. Any damaged crops are expected to be paid for by the photographer.
- No areas may be closed or blocked to other visitors during a public event.
- Stay off all equipment including and not limited to tractors, ladders, etc.
- Do not enter the residence, neighboring properties, other farm structures, sheds, etc.
- Do not enter or place anything in planting beds or soil.
- No smoking or chewing tobacco is permitted on the property
- No glitter, confetti, rice, silly string, fake flower petals, fake snow or other “tossing” items may be used. This is a nightmare to clean, contaminates our soil and is a danger to our animals.
- Well-behaved dogs are allowed during Private Sessions, but must remain on-leash at all times and must be closely monitored to ensure they do not enter planting beds. Again, any damaged crops are expected to be paid for by the photographer. Waste must be removed & disposed of properly.
- Rooted Farmstead reserves the right to halt any photography sessions deemed disruptive during public events.
- We reserve the right to use publicly posted photographs taken on our property for commercial purposes of our own.
