🪻 A Little Nature Note:
Lavender fields are a favorite hangout spot for bees and other pollinators (they love the flowers as much as we do!). They’re usually busy doing their job and tend to ignore people, but you will likely see them around. If you or your child has a bee allergy or is especially nervous about bees, you may want to choose a different mini session for peace of mind.

PLEASE NOTE:
+ Mini Sessions cannot be used for large family groupings of 6 or more (with the exception of immediate families with 6+ children). Please contact us if you are unsure if this session is right for your group!
+ A signed contract and $100 retainer fee due at booking to reserve your spot. Balance is due on or before your session date.
