Beginning in 2026, Stepp’s Hillcrest Orchard is proud to offer professional photography opportunities on the farm through our photography sessions.

Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Stepp’s Hillcrest Orchard provides a uniquely picturesque setting that changes with the seasons—from vibrant spring blossoms and lush summer greenery to rich autumn colors and peaceful winter landscapes. This makes our farm an exceptional location for a wide range of photography sessions, including family portraits, engagement sessions, weddings, branding shoots, artistic projects, and more.

Whether you’re planning a photo session with your photographer or you’re a photography professional seeking a scenic location for your clients, our photography sessions provide access to one of Western North Carolina’s most beautiful outdoor settings.

Our goal is to create memorable photography experiences while preserving the natural beauty of the farm and providing a welcoming environment for photographers, clients, and visitors alike.
