Photography

We currently have a large amount of lavender plants at various stages of maturity.

Typically, there is something blooming late may through early July, depending on the variety.

Remember we are a working farm. There are bees and bugs on the farm. Please keep this in mind if it will be a problem for you or the people you are photographing.

We cannot predict weather conditions or seasons and their effects on the lavender, so it is important to check out our fields (lavender) before booking your photo shoots to have a better idea what to expect and to make sure that this is the right location for you.

Photography (still) is permitted for private, non-commercial use only. We ask that if you get a particularly good shot on the farm, that you share it with us for use on Facebook page, tag us on social media #lavendelhills or email it to us lavendel.hills@gmail.com

Photographs cannot be published, sold, reproduced, transferred, distributed, or otherwise commercially exploited in any manner whatsoever without written consent by Lavendel Hills. Lavendel Hills reserves the right, and its sole discretion, to withhold and/or withdraw permission to photograph on its premises or to reproduce photographs of objects in its collection.

Now, there is a difference between a camera phone and a professional camera. Our guests are more than welcome to use their professional-style cameras during store hours, however if your innocent photos turn into a photo shoot, we can and will reserve the right to turn you away and/or charge our normal professional photo session fee.

Commercial photography includes senior portraits, family portraits, sweet 16 photos, baby photos, dance or cheer team photos, wedding photos, engagement photos, etc. and those selling and using materials for professional purposes including hair salons, stylists and designers. Reservations must be made in advance.

During our normal open hours, cost is $45 per hour. However remember that the farm may be open at this time and visitors may be out in the fields.

We require all reservations to be paid in full when made.

We also require you to contact us via email lavendel.hills@gmail.com one week before shooting to confirm your date. Any failure to do so will result in your booking being cancelled and no refund will be made, since another photographer could have had your booking. Many photographers want to book with us to get photos taken at the farm. We want to be respectful to all.

However if it is storming we do try our best to reschedule you, but you must be flexible with the change and please let your clients know they need to be understanding since we cannot control weather.

Lavendel Hills is just providing the property location. We expect all photographers to be professionals. Any that disrespect our farm, owners and/or employees will be asked to leave our farm without refund and will not be given rights to shoot photographs here again.

We encourage you to put a timer on your phone so that you don't lose track of time, during your photo shoot and incur additional fees.

Please inform your guests to be dressed and prepared for photo shoot as we have no available changing rooms, only portable bathrooms.

No nude or lingerie photos are allowed on the farm

Children must be supervised at all times.

Do not place equipment (or people) on top of plants.

Please remain on the pathways, grassy or mowed lawn areas at all times.

Do not disturb, remove or pick the lavender plants, if you would like to cut bundles of lavender, you or your client may purchase U-Pick for an additional charge.

You are required to inform your clients and children of the above rules and help to enforce them.

We encourage you to put a timer on your phone so that you don't lose track of time, during your photo shoot and incur additional fees.

You are allowed to bring your own props but they must be picked up and removed within your allotted time and following the rules above in regards to grassy areas or pathways.

Reservations may include 1 photographer and one family or small group (3-6 individuals). If you wish to photograph a larger group, please contact us at lavendel.hills@gmail.com

If these rules are not followed we reserve the right to ask you to leave.

We love our photographers! And we especially love when you post or share your photos with us! When sharing please make sure to include you studio name on the photo. Photos shared without you studio name may be reused without attribution as we receive many photos of our field every summer, and one picture of a lavender bloom looks awfully similar to another despite your individual photographic skill! If we find a photo we really want to use for promotional purposes, we will contact you directly regarding obtaining an unmarked copy and to discuss attribution.

Impolite, rude or offensive social media posts regarding Lavendel Hills, its owners or employees may result in cancellation of future reservations or denial of reservation requests.

All reservations are non-refundable. We have done all we can to assure a field of purple. However if, due to causes beyond our control, we feel that the lavender is not blooming, we will contact you and refund your money. Once reserved, photographers are not allowed to make any alterations in the reservation. Should it become necessary to reschedule a photoshoot due to inclement weather at the farm every effort will be made to accommodate. *This may have to be a morning or workday reschedule.
