Our Iris Garden

Capturing Moments That Last

Our Private Iris Garden

As spring awakens the land, our Iris Garden bursts into a symphony of color, creating a living masterpiece within a forest's embrace. Spread over 4,000 square feet, this floral treasure trove features hundreds of bearded iris varieties, each unfurling in a spectacle of hues and scents. It's a realm where the vibrancy of nature's palette meets the enchantment of fairy tales.


Crafted for portrait sessions, the Iris Garden offers a fleeting yet unforgettable chapter each year, where every photograph becomes a work of art, framed by the sheer diversity of these elegant blooms. With each visit, you're not just stepping into a garden; you're entering a world where every path is lined with flowers and every moment is ripe for capturing. Whether it's the glow of an expectant mother, the unity of a family, or the grace of an individual, the garden provides a canvas that celebrates life in its most vivid forms.


The blooms typically peak sometime April to May for about 2-3 weeks, with some variation based upon the weather.  If you would like a portrait or elopement in the iris garden, ask to be put on our waitlist to have priority for scheduling when the season comes.
