THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF BLOOM TIME.

THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF BLOOM TIME.

Timing of blooms on the farm vary from year to year. Typically, we have lavender blooming from late June through the beginning of August with peak bloom falling around July 4th.
This is NOT guaranteed. We have many other flora on the farm during all seasons with lavender being the predominant crop.

Time slots available by appointment only booked online through our website.

We do NOT provide the photographer!

Specific fields, Lavender varieties and color subject to availability/weather conditions.

Because there is a small window of bloom time spaces are limited, so be sure to book early. Bookings for lavender field photoshoots are non refundable but may be rescheduled if the weather is inclement.

Sessions include use of the farm for photography sessions with a professional or semi-professional photographer for client photos and/or commercial landscape or natural art photos. Photographers are not available at the farm; you must hire your own photographer and ensure reserved time works for all parties. Indigo Lavender Farms has no responsibility for the quality of work of any photographer or the relationship between client and photographer.

Photo Sessions:
• 1 hour: $60
• 2 hours: $100
*1/2 hour time slots are not available given the size of the farm and set up time required to accommodate guests.

$30 will be charged for every 30 minutes over your time slot. There are cameras on the farm to verify the time. You will have a 15 min grace period as we understand there are circumstances outside of your control.

It is entirely your responsibility to read the Rules as outlined below. Failure to do so does not preclude us from enforcing them.

THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ONCE BOOKED

Rules

  • You MUST check in with the staff at the Farm Store before entering the farm. Failure to check in with staff will result in an automatic charge of $30.
  • If you are going to be more than 15 min late or cannot come to the photosession, please contact us ASAP. We have staff scheduled based on your reservation. We are happy to reschedule if you cannot make it. If we do not hear from you prior to the appointment it will not be rescheduled and there is no refund.
  • Your reservation is booked specifically for the time you select. If you are late or your client is late you cannot run over your reservation time. We have other photographers who have booked before and after your reservation.
  • If you arrive early and would like to start your session early, we are happy to allow you to do that when we can. If you choose to start your photo session time early you will be allowed to stay for the session time you paid for.
  • We love our photographers! And we especially love when you post or share your photos with us! Please share and tag Indigo Lavender Farms - @lavenderfarming - for any photos taken and placed on social media platforms. However, if you do share your photos with us by email, dropbox, or post to our social media pages, or if you tag us, you must include your studio logo/name on the photo. Photos submitted to us directly or shared online that are not marked with your studio name may be reused without attribution as we receive thousands of photos of our fields 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.
  • Please inform your guests to be dressed and prepared for the for photo shoot as we have no available changing rooms.
  • No nude or lingerie photos are allowed on the farm.

We encourage you to set a timer on your phone so that you don't lose track of time, as we may have other scheduled photographers or events following yours. Please be courteous of other photographer's reserved times or other events ongoing at the farm. Other small, private events may be scheduled at the same time as your session but should not interfere with your shoot. (We have 50 acres - more than enough room for multiple parties!).
  • You will NOT be guaranteed any specific field or specific location on the farm. Photo sessions in the morning tend to be less busy and are more likely to ensure you have access to specific area on the farm.

Indigo Lavender Farms staff is not responsible for bringing your clients to you or getting your props out to the fields.
