Welcome, and thank you for considering Bees N Blooms as your photo-taking destination. We are happy to share this gorgeous location with you. Below are our options for photography sessions:

• Formal: If you would like to have the space to yourself, ensuring that no one will be in the background and/or if you want to take pictures outside of our public open-farm days, and/or if you need to set up special equipment, you must make a reservation at least three days in advance.
  
  Reservations can be made for any time, but the light is often best in the evening as the sun is setting over the fields. We do allow drone photography as well. For any photography by a professional photographer, we will need a certificate of insurance from the photographer naming Bees N Blooms as an additional insured.
  
  We charge $50 per hour. Please fill out our contact form if you are interested in having a formal photography session. Once the date, time, and session length are confirmed, we will email you an invoice, which must be prepaid before your session.
  
  
• Informal: If you do not care about people being in the background, please feel free to take pictures during our open farm days. No professional photography is permitted during open-farm times, as it interferes with our other visitors’ experience at the farm. No drone photography is permitted during open-farm times to ensure the safety of our other visitors. We do not charge for this and do not need photographer’s insurance.

Our lavender blooms from late May through mid-July. For photos with peak lavender color inside the Labyrinth, early to mid-June is the best time to visit. By early to mid-July, we begin harvesting and pruning the lavender in the Labyrinth. Our Grosso lavender field reaches peak bloom from late June to mid-July, with harvest beginning in early August.

To see what’s currently in bloom, please check our Lavender Bloom Status page—updated weekly during Lavender Bloom Fest (late May to mid-July) with photos of each variety. Even after lavender harvest, the farm’s many other flowers continue to provide beautiful backdrops for photography.
