Whitby Family Photographer {Melissa Maahs Photography // Lavender Session Family Photographer}

It’s that time of year again to start looking forward to the summer and to plan my summer session schedule. Although my kids are not so little anymore, I still make spending time with them and with other family throughout the summer a priority, so for that reason, I generally do not schedule sessions on weekends. Weekends for my family are for spending time together doing fun things either around home or up north at our family cottage.

Last year was the first summer I offered family sessions held at a local lavender farm. This particular farm is just north of Whitby, Ontario and is such a stunning location! This summer I was able to pre-book a handful of evenings in July (the only month when the lavender is in full bloom) to have access to photograph families in the lavender fields. The lavender farm books up very quickly due to the very short window of time when the lavender blooms.

Lavender sessions are held in the evening. The farm only allows photographers access to the fields after they are closed to the public, which works out great for my sessions because the lighting in the evening hours is the most optimal light to shoot in. The sun isn’t strong and harsh like it is during the day. The light is softer in the evening (even on a cloudy day) and this provides perfect conditions for the style of photography I offer.

Needless to say, if you’ve been wanting to book a lavender session please don’t delay in contacting me! Also, please note that theses sessions are not ‘mini’ sessions. I only offer regular ‘full’ family sessions, which usually last about 60-90 minutes.
