Photography at the Farm

Book sessions among lavender rows, wildflowers, and seasonal blooms — or bring your camera for personal photos during open hours.

For professional photographers

We welcome professional and amateur photographers to book the farm for sessions with clients: engagements, family portraits, senior photos, and editorial work.

In-bloom lavender

While you are welcome to book your sessions anytime throughout the year, photographers looking for in-bloom sessions should only book in the month of June. We recommend from the first weekend of June through the last day of June for the best field color.

You-cut flower garden

Photography sessions for an in bloom you-cut garden should be booked between August 1st & October 31st.

The you-cut flower garden is closed for the 2026 season.
