Last weekend, I had the pleasure of conducting family photoshoots at The Lavender Fields at Selborne. Despite the rainy weather, the sessions were a great success, capturing moments that families will cherish.
The Beauty of Lavender Fields
The Lavender Fields at Selborne, with their rows of purple blooms, provided a lovely backdrop. The fragrance of lavender created a calm atmosphere that made each session feel special. The hum of bees and the song of birds added to the charm, making it an ideal setting for family portraits.
Weather Challenges
The weather forecast initially predicted sunshine, but rain clouds gathered as the weekend approached. However, the overcast skies created a soft light that was perfect for photography, reducing harsh shadows and adding a touch of drama to the images. The occasional raindrop added a whimsical element to the photos, with children dancing in the rain and parents sharing smiles under umbrellas.
Embracing the Elements
Families embraced the weather, and the light drizzle gave everyone an excuse to snuggle closer, creating genuine moments. Children, in their raincoats and boots, splashed in puddles with delight, while parents laughed and joined in. These spontaneous moments of joy and connection were beautifully captured, resulting in photos that tell a story of love and togetherness.
A Heartfelt Thank You
I would like to thank the owners of The Lavender Fields at Selborne for allowing us to use their location. Their hospitality and flexibility in accommodating our sessions, despite the weather, were greatly appreciated. The beauty of their lavender fields provided a magical backdrop that elevated each photoshoot, creating stunning visuals that families will treasure.
Looking Forward
The success of last weekend's lavender field photoshoots has left me eagerly anticipating future sessions. The combination of a beautiful location, the unpredictability of nature, and the joyful interactions of families resulted in some of the most memorable photographs I've had the pleasure of capturing. I am excited to continue creating lasting memories for more families, rain or shine.

Thank you again to The Lavender Fields at Selborne for their incredible support and for sharing their piece of paradise with us.
