The sunflower fields are FUN & MAGICAL and make a BEAUTIFUL & UNIQUE backdrop to make memories & celebrate all the love & sunshine you've got in your life.

5 reasons why you should book Sunflower Minis at Bowden Sunmaze with me:


  • Early September weather is typically mild with minimal snow/rain. Perfect for outdoor mini sessions!
  • The sunflower fields are BEAUTIFUL & HAPPY & FUN & MAGICAL and not only do they make the perfect backdrop, they allow for more natural moments to happen while you explore the maze.
  • Golden hour light (that soft, magical light before sunset) is much earlier in the day compared to summer, which makes it easier on families with younger kids and earlier bedtimes. Trust me when I say the hour closest to sunset makes for beautiful, one-of-a-kind photos!
  • There's a number of activities at the Bowden Sunmaze beyond just the sunflower fields, so you can make an evening of it with fun things to see & do including making friends with some farm animals, climbing old tractors, and picking flowers & fresh vegetables. Their website recommends at least 2 hours to enjoy all the farm has to offer.
  • Mini sessions themselves have a number of benefits. Click here to read why mini sessions are perfect for you (& why they might not be!)
