Mini Sessions!

It’s that time of year again…time for Mini Sessions!

Two dates are available; the evening of Saturday October 13th, and the morning of Sunday October 19th. The Saturday evening location will be held just outside of Meadville, PA, near Woodcock, and the Sunday morning sessions will be held at Davenport Fruit Farm, just in time for apple season!

It’s always tough to predict the leaves, but since we already have some great color showing through, I am hoping it’s going to be a great year!

Don’t miss out on the beautiful fall photo opportunity! I can’t wait to work with you!

The D Family | A Fall Family Session

It’s St. Patrick’s Day! What a better way than to celebrate by blogging a good Irish surname?! This adorable family joined me at Davenport Fruit Farm in the fall for some family pictures. What a beautiful day for a beautiful family!

The M Family | A Fall Session

I met with the amazing M family on a cold, rainy fall day. They were SUCH troopers about the elements! We had a fun time and they all looked so great!!

Davenport Fruit Farm Cidery and Winery

Several years ago, I made my very first stop at Davenport Farms to buy a gallon of their unpasteurized cider. It was a cute place, with original barn and acres of gorgeous apple trees. After that first taste of their cider, I was hooked. I returned year after year for apples and cider. When I first heard that the orchard had been sold, I was concerned. My fear was that someone would get rid of the barn and make it too “new”. I drove past the property fairly regularly, always glancing at the progress they were making. I can now say, with certainty, that the new owners did an AMAZING job of keeping a barn feel, while modernizing enough to make it a charming, functional space!

Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but the hard ciders they have crafted are a treat for the taste buds! Being that my husband and I are huge hard cider fans, we were a bit skeptical as to whether or not it would live up to our expectations. Well, we are not connoisseurs, however, we both agreed they nailed it. With several varieties to choose from, there is something for every cider lover. Sweet, dry, seasonal…so many decisions!

Now, if hard cider isn’t your thing, don’t worry, they’ve got you covered! In addition to having a variety of beers on tap from TimberCreek Brewing, Davenport also carries a selection of wine, which is made right on the premises.

To take advantage of Pennsylvania’s beautiful summers and falls, several outdoor seating areas have been added, with breathtaking views of the orchard.

If fresh apples and unpasteurized cider is what you’re really after, the fruit farm is STILL the right choice! They offer a mouth-watering selection each fall. Many weekends, you can even find live music in the tap room. If you’ve never experienced Davenport’s, please do yourself a favor and check it out!
