What do pumpkin lattes, apple pie and sunflowers all have in common? Each has become a tell tale sign that fall is on its way. Every year, I try to get to Colby Farm sunflower field in Newbury, MA to catch the short window of time when the sunflowers are in bloom.
If you live in New England, then you’ve certainly noticed that as sunflowers begin to bloom the weather also begins to turn from hot and humid to cool and crisp. Could this be the reason why sunflowers don’t tend to live very long after they bloom? Maybe.
Sunflowers typically bloom in early September and are gone within 2 weeks. Sadly, my husband and I once started the trip to Colby farm before only to find out mid-way that we were too late. This year was different though! I made it to the field with one of my best friends, both of us with camera bags in tow.
Colby Farm Sunflower Field Photos
I was 12 weeks pregnant with my daughter when we went, so naturally we needed to take some cute baby bump photos! I am so thankful we were able to capture these special moments from early pregnancy with my first baby.
Dress: Francesca’s.
Overall, we really couldn’t have chosen a more perfect time of day to visit the field and I’m thankful my friend was able to capture some great maternity shots along the way.
Visit Colby Farm
If you’re in Massachusetts next fall, visit Colby Farmstand at 50 Scotland Rd, Newbury, MA 01951. It’s the perfect location to spend a morning or afternoon with family. But, be sure to charge your camera, cellphones and other devices before you go so you can capture as many photos of the sunflower fields as you like. You won’t be disappointed!
