Whether it is a candid family shot of children running along a scenic path hand-in-hand or unique senior portraits, Sheep Pasture's varied visual opportunities delight photographers and clients alike.

We are excited to be able to offer Sheep Pasture as a beautiful natural setting for individuals and families who are looking to capture a moment of their lives in photos. If you are seeking a wonderful location with many visually dynamic places,

Please note:  Although the animals are a tremendously popular part of Sheep Pasture, 
the farm animals themselves and/or interiors of animal paddocks are not available for use during  private photo sessions. 
For the safety of our animals and our visitors, please do not enter any of the animal areas 
or climb the fences surrounding the animal enclosures. Thank you.

For Professional Photographers

Sheep Pasture is a wonderful space for scheduling your next photo session. Whether you are planning for senior portraits, wedding pictures, or family photos, there are any number of beautiful spaces that NRT's Sheep Pasture can provide for you and your clients. 

Sheep Pasture is a privately-owned conservation property which is operated by the Natural Resources Trust of Easton, a non-profit organization supported by its members. Sheep Pasture is not a park or municipal property; however, the NRT allows public access to the property for the benefit of the community for a variety of outdoor activities. 

In order to keep Sheep Pasture beautiful and available for everyone in the community, we require commercial photographers who bring their clients to Sheep Pasture to help do their part in maintaining this beautiful space by becoming  NRT Business/Photography Members . This annual membership helps to support the costs associated with running and maintaining Sheep Pasture as the fantastic location everyone knows and loves, and will also demonstrate to your clients that you support the environment and the settings you use professionally. Photographers who are business level members will receive an annual NRT Photography Permit to carry during their photo shoots.
Are you an out-of-town photographer seeking permission for a one day/one client specialty shoot? Visit the NRT' Online Store for a One Day Photographer permit. Please note, this permit cannot be used for scheduling a day of mini sessions or multiple clients.

All paid sessions, including series of mini sessions, are considered commercial photography. Mini session series or large photo shoots (5 or more people) should be booked in advance with the NRT/Sheep Pasture staff to make sure there are no other events scheduled on your big day. Due to rentals and activities by outside groups at Sheep Pasture, not all events are listed on our website. 

In addition to being a wonderful location for photographs, Sheep Pasture is also a popular location for private events. Photographers who are Business Members can contact Sheep Pasture in advance to be sure that other events have not been booked on the property which may interfere with your photo session times or locations, as not all events are listed on the NRT's events website.

Photographers who are members of NRT are also listed on our website as friends of Sheep Pasture. Join the NRT of Easton as a Business Member today, and have your business listed here for your next potential client to see. 

Business Memberships are available securely online through our NRT Membership Store. Questions? Please use our contact us online form or call the NRT office at 508-238-6049 for more information.
