Hitchin Lavender Photographer

Lavender Photography Sessions Hertfordshire

Unfortunately I no longer run mini shoots at Hitchin Lavender, but can offer full family photoshoots if you would like one!

Hitchin Lavender is open until 8pm throughout the flowering season, around mid to late July the colour of the field is at its peak. The light can be extremely harsh during the Summer Months so I choose to shoot when the light is softer and flattering in the evening. Realising that there will be young children amoungst the family shoots, A good start time is 6/6:30pm

Session fees for Hitchin Lavender are slightly more expensive for Hitchin as there is a professional photography charge of £50 from the venue so £99 secures your session.

From there you can then choose your photography collection from your finalised gallery, with collections starting from £375, please see my family photography pricing. Dog photoshoots are also available at a cost of £325

A footnote that images can look very different when shot in sun to cloud, if we have a cloudy evening the lavender is a very deep purple (in full flower), but if its a very sunny day it photographs more pinky.

Please do drop me a line via the contact me section at the bottom of the page if you would like to book!

49About Hitchin Lavender and what you need to know ahead of your shoot

There is an entrance charge into the fields which is not included in your shoot fee. You will need to book a ticket for your allocated time on the Hitchin Lavender Website Please see pricing here. You can pick your own lavender which is often used to hold during the shoot, you can then take it home to decorate your home or dry it out and make Lavender bags

As well as taking in the scenery of the Lavender field, there is lots to see and do at Hitchin Lavender, there is a cafe and a fabulous shop where you can purchase lavender plants, skin products, beautiful pots (I have some they are stunning), jewellery, china and much more, great for gifts too!

Bee’s

As you can imagine, where there is Lavender, there are Bee’s, lots of them! The humming sound is lovely and they are so busy collecting their pollen they are not bothered by us, however you need to be aware that there is a sting risk and if your child or any family member suffers with stings, is scared of the bee’s or has an allergic reaction I would not recommend the shoot. However there is the option to sit at the end of the row so not walking through, but again there is always a risk.

I will be armed with some sting releaf cream just in case! But getting stung is rare

Can I bring my dog?

Yes dog’s are welcome to Hitchin Lavender and I love the dogs being involved in the shoot.

How many family members can be involved?

Up to a family of 5 for mini shoots, if you would like a full family shoot please enquire for availability

How do I book?
