These fragrant purple rows have been on my list of seasonal family photo ideas since I started photographing in 2009!
They provide the perfect summer backdrop for family photos, and will take your breath away as you enter Mayfield Lavender Farm!
There is a small window of opportunity to use the lavender as a location, since it looks its best in July and August before it is harvested.
With tractor rides for the children, and a cafe offering a huge selection of sweet treats and savouries, it truly is a great day out for families.
Mayfield Lavender’s farm opens from the end of June, and you will need a Photography Pass (purchased by me directly from Mayfield Lavender) to have photographs taken there – you can choose from a daytime pass for £50, or an evening pass for £100.
A word of warning: It gets SUPER busy on weekends!
In my opinion, the best time to have photos taken is in the evening after they have closed to visitors – so not only do you have the place to yourselves (and less editing time removing crowds from the background!), but the light is also gorgeous and way more flattering.
