Belle Lavande Lavender Farm

One thing you have to be aware of about lavender farms is the bees. They are pretty much everywhere. I am afraid of very few things, but bees just happen to be one of them (hello allergies). After about 10 minutes wandering around this lavender field, it is very clear that bees have way more to do than pay attention to anyone walking or sitting nearby. So grateful Jenna and Doug also seemed to be unaffected by them. They were so good about trying any pose, getting up and down, walking through the bees, and getting pictures from every angle.

Enjoy this little peek into this sweet lavender farm mini-session.

My favorite pictures, the ones that make me audibly go “aaaaawwwww!”, are the ones with Mckenna and each parent. Seeing those cute little moments when your babies are so little just melt my heart. Kids grow up way too fast, and it’s so wonderful to have photos to remember these cute little ages. But! My all time favorite photo from their session is the family picture walking through the lavender. The sun was getting lower in the sky, the lighting was nearing perfection, and all the colors are out there absolutely killing it. Wearing light colors in a field of purple and green had a huge punch factor in the very best way! I loved it so much that I listed it first – so we can all look at it a little longer.

Definitely recommend these outfit choices for this location! Light colors just bouncing off of the purples and greens are the way to go! During sessions, I often giggle or get a little too excited about how beautiful the shot is….and people just don’t believe me, I guess. That leads me to the next part…

The funniest moment to me was the reveal session. After I showed them a slideshow of their insanely gorgeous family, they said, “Wow, they look so good! I just didn’t think they’d turn out so well.” This is not an uncommon thing for me to hear. So, if you’re thinking, “Yeah, but my family isn’t that cute” or “Well, we just aren’t them, so our pictures won’t look that good”, I am here to tell you…ahem…in the kindest way, that you’re 110% wrong. I actually love it when I hear phrases of surprise. I always want you to love your photos more than you thought you would!
