FAQ
A few details about the sessions, timing, and early access list.
Couples, families, maternity, and individual portrait sessions will all be available. Given the short duration of the bloom, these are intentionally focused 15-minute sessions designed around the best evening light during the peak of the lavender season.
Sessions will take place on the farm at Mesa Verde Lavender near Mancos, CO.
A limited number of longer full portrait sessions may also be available during peak bloom week based on availability and at a higher custom session rate.
Sessions will be scheduled during peak lavender bloom in late June or early July, with a limited number of golden hour and afterglow (blue hour) sessions available.
With the short duration of the bloom, people on the early access list will receive first access to booking, preferred early bird pricing, and updates as session details are finalized. Because availability is limited and timing is dependent on the bloom, the wait-list helps keep everyone updated as plans come together. Joining the list does not commit you to booking a session.
Pricing will vary based on timing and lighting, with premium golden hour and afterglow sessions available during the best light of the evening. Early access members will receive preferred early bird pricing before public release.
