During the times when the farm is open, there is no charge for photography for personal use. We do ask if you post photos to social media that you tag our farm, Deep Creek Lavender Farm. Professional photographer should reserve the farm after hours, morning or evening (for better lighting). The one hour fee is $40/hour. Two hours fee is $65.
NOTE: During a private session you may arrange to host as many groups, families or individuals you like as it is an hourly fee. If your business is photography and you plan to photograph more than one group or family at a time (such as mini-sessions), you will need to sign up for an after-hours private session.
PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT PROVIDE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER. We can give you the names of photographers who do photo shoots at the farm, if desired.
Lavender bloom is mid-June through mid-July. Sunflowers and perennials bloom in late July and August. We do harvest the lavender and have 'pick your own' so we can't promise perfectly intact rows of lavender, but there is plenty for your photography needs.
Send an email to deepcreeklavender@gmail.com or call 240-608-8282 to request date/time (we try to give photographers a private session). You must pay to reserve your date. Should bad weather or illness cause a cancellation we will help you with a new date.
