Looking for beautiful locations for family photos near Rochester, Shelby Township, or Lake Orion? Oakland Township has some wonderful hidden gems for outdoor family photography, from rolling Christmas tree fields to quiet, tree lined trails and open meadows.


As a family photographer serving Oakland Township and the surrounding communities, I love finding places that give families room to relax, connect, and simply enjoy being together. Here are two of my favorite settings for creating natural, meaningful family photographs.

A Local Christmas Tree Farm

There's something extra special about family photos surrounded by evergreen trees. This 20-acre, organically grown Christmas tree farm has been family-run since 1988, offering a beautiful backdrop for holiday photos in Oakland Township.


With gently rolling hills and Christmas trees of all shapes and sizes, the property has a natural charm that feels festive without needing elaborate decorations. Whether we're walking between the trees, snuggling close as a family, or letting the kids explore, there's plenty of opportunity for those genuine moments that make your photographs feel like you.

The Historic District

For a completely different atmosphere, Oakland Township also offers a beautiful historic property filled with character and natural scenery.


Imagine peaceful trails lined with mature trees, wide-open fields stretching into the distance, and historic monuments tucked throughout the grounds. This location offers a wonderful mix of textures and scenery, allowing us to create a varied gallery without needing to travel between multiple destinations.


The tree-lined paths are perfect for close, connected moments, while the open fields offer space for walking together, playing with the kids, and capturing those joyful in-between moments. The historic details add a timeless quality that makes these photographs feel both personal and rooted in place.
