About This Adventure
Erin Hill Acres is a Photographer's dream.
NEW FOR 2024 - HIGHLAND COWS
Our 5 beautiful Highland Cows are the perfect addition to our photography options. Fluffy, cute & full of personality we are certain they will be popular.
The public can enjoy taking pictures of them from OUTSIDE thier enclosure. Professional photographers can book a general photography permit and shoot from OUTSIDE thier enclosure. Please note that images of our Highland Cows etc, can not be used for profit , for business etc without the consent of the farm. Thank you for understanding.
Specialized photography and or interactive experiences with the cows WITHIN thier enclosure will be available to book soon. If you are interested in learning more about this upcoming experience, please contact us via email : info@erinhillacres.farm
The farm has 90 plus acres of beautiful rolling hills, lavender & sunflower fields, pumpkin patch, Christmas tree groves and forested walking trails.
There are also many photography opportunities set up around the property that change periodically. Such as:
1952 Red Mercury M1 Pick up truck. Vintage sofas. Old farm tractor. Butterfly wings. Tandem Bicycle. Highland Cows.
The Red Pick Up Truck is the iconic backdrop for Christmas Photo Shoots. It is $130.00 per hour. Photographers use their own props. Set up, shoot and take down is all within the time slot you select.
The General Photo Shoot is $100 per hour. You have access to areas throughout the farm but you can not capitalize the photo ops set ups that are for the general public.
Admission fee required for all guests. You can prepay admissions day of the shoot, or request that your clients pay upon arrival to the farm. All visitors to the farm are required to check in at the Shoppe before accessing the farm. Photographer gets in free.
The farm is much more than a photo shoot location, market this as an experience with added value to your photography services. We can help you with this if you are unsure how to do that.
