Private Orchard, Pickering Brook
$50 Location Fee
The private property is perfect for a country/ farm look in the pictures. The farm is gorgeous year round but blossoms are available only in September.

An empty block on the side of the road. It was flowers and lots of greenery for beautiful family portraits. Best time for flowers is September & October
Private Winery, Herne Hill

Midland
This location offers tall grass and huge rows of towering trees, creating a beautiful natural backdrop. In spring, you’ll find lovely red flowers here, though they start to fade by November. Even so, it remains an excellent choice for summer photoshoots, with its open spaces and lush greenery providing a stunning setting year-round.
Gnangara Pines, Ellenbrook
Gnangara Pines is a peaceful and lovely spot for family photos. The tall pine trees and sunny clearings make for beautiful pictures.
Yellow Flowers, Guildford
This spot is a small block of land next to the main road in Guildford. Yellow flowers pop up there every three years or so in the summer. But even without the flowers, it's a nice spot for family photos because it has great light and lots of greenery. Flowers usually bloom in November/ December.
