In the past few years, we have begun growing Christmas Trees on our farm in addition to our other crops. This past December, we opened to sell trees for the first time. I have worked hard to make our place look nice including restoring our old gambrel roof barn to be our sales area because we really believe that agritourism will be a profitable addition to our farm income in the future. So far, we had a successful first year. I was inundated with photographers who wanted to come out and use our trees and barn as a set for photo shoots for their clients. Some thought I should let them do it for free, others said they were willing to pay, but never offered up an amount. We ended up letting two different photographers come, one being a friend of my wifes and they traded off church nursery duty which was fine. The other was a friend of a friend who said she would do our family pictures as well as some professional pictures for my website. She took a lot pf pictures. I got an email today and we got a grand total of 6 pictures. She said she may be willing to give me 6 more. And she sent them by email. I have to take them to be printed and pay for that myself. In exchange, I allowed her to bring over 30 families on my farm to do portraits. She charged each family $40 for a 15 minute session. None of those families purchased a tree from me and only a couple purchased odds and ends in the store for maybe $50 total. So basically I spent a lot of time and energy preparing for her and exposed my farm to extra liability for only 6 pictures that I could have taken myself. My question is, do any of you allow photographers onto your farm to do this and if so, what do you charge? Don't want to get taken again next year.
