About the Location
Kurt and Karen Emmerich are the proprietors of Emmerich Tree Farm located at 101 Sleepy Valley Road, Warwick, NY 10990. Kurt grew up on the land, having planted thousands of trees on the property with his parents and siblings in the 60’s and 70’s. With his studies at NYS College of Environmental Science and Forestry and vast experience running several nurseries and greenhouses of his own, Kurt is a bonafide tree expert. But it wasn't until 2005 when they purchased the land from Kurt’s family did their dream of owning and operating a tree farm truly begin. Their unique cultural practices are designed to keep a sustainably steady supply of Christmas Trees.
They are continually struck by how supportive their customers are in helping to support sustainable local agriculture.
Conveniently located minutes from downtown Warwick, NY. A special thank you to Emmerich Tree Farm for hosting this event.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I'd like to include my extended family in the photo session. Is there a limit on how many people can be in on the photo session?
A. Due to the parking limitations at Emmerich Tree Farm, only 1 passenger vehicle is allowed per reservation. That means your session participants are limited to however many people you can fit in 1 passenger vehicle.
Q. Can my dog be part of the portrait session?
A. Yes! Dogs are family members too! As long as you pick up after them and are respectful of the property, dogs are welcome. Emmerich Tree Farm's policy states "All dogs must be kept on a leash and be well behaved around other dogs and children. If a dog is unruly, we will have to ask that they be removed for the safety of our guests."

About the Photographer
Each family has a story to tell. A story that is steeped in chaos, laughter, and the everyday minutiae of family life. A story that is ultimately about love. Julia, a North Jersey documentary family photographer, is passionate about capturing these stories to show families the love and compassion that they can’t often see for themselves.
Julia’s own story is one that is woven around the family and friends that are her creative inspiration. She is a wearer of many hats: daughter and sister, food lover, aspiring yogi, karaoke diva, loving wife, and rock-star mom to two little girls.
Photography has always been the channel through which she documents the different stories of her life and she has turned her passion into a business of doing the same for the families she works with. She continues to seek out new families and new stories to tell with the same care, kindness, and humor she uses to document her own family.
