    Do I Need a Photo Pass?
    You need a Photo Pass if you are visiting the farm for the purpose of taking formal, posed photos. If you are visiting the farm and farm shoppe and want to memorialize your visit with photos, no pass is required. There is a difference and we'd ask that if you are only visiting to use our fields as a photo backdrop than please purchase a pass to help support the upkeep of our farm.

    Formal, Posed Photography

    Posed photography includes wedding, family, engagement, prom, graduation, senior photos or the like. The photographer doesn’t need to be a professional. 

    Advance, paid reservations are required and can be booked here. In all cases, the photography session must be scheduled in advance and begin and end within the allotted time. There are no refunds for "no-shows" of a photography session at Lavender Pond Farm. However, sessions may be rescheduled by contacting us in advance or in the event of inclement weather.

    Commercial Photography/Filming
    Catalog shoots, shoots requiring props, additional lighting or multiple costumes, commercials, professional videos and the like are subject to certain terms, restrictions and fees based upon the nature of the production request. Please Contact Us for more information.

    Plein Air Artists
    There is no charge for canvas artists or plein air artists to use the fields, however we do request that you follow the same General Photography Guidelines as our visiting photographers.

    Aerial Photography
    Drone use is strictly prohibited.

    Stock Photography

    General Photography Guidelines
    We ask that you honor these policies when using Lavender Pond Farm as the backdrop for any photography, artwork or filming.

    • Guests should come dressed and prepared for their photo session. There are no changing areas available and the public restroom is not to be used to change clothes. You may inquire about a room rental if a changing area is needed.
