Lavender sessions in Provence — from a quiet golden-hour portrait to a fully styled cinematic experience
Experience the Lavender Season in Provence — 2027
The lavender fields bloom for only 2–3 weeks each year, and the exact timing varies slightly from season to season depending on the weather.

Every summer, my guests travel to Provence from all over the world specifically to experience this magical season and create beautiful memories among the lavender fields.

I accept only a limited number of sessions during this period, as the most beautiful light is available only at sunrise and sunset.

The lavender season usually begins in Valensole. Later in the summer, I can also arrange photoshoots in the lavender fields of Sault or near Avignon, where the bloom often lasts longer.
As I am not based in these areas, sessions in Sault and near Avignon are organised as special destination photoshoots exclusively for you.

Bookings for the 2027 lavender season are now open.

FAQ
Frequently asked Questions
  • Where do I need to go for the session?
    The lavender fields are located in the heart of Provence — mainly around Valensole, Sault, and the Luberon area, depending on the season and the condition of the fields.
    After booking, you will receive the exact GPS coordinates, the meeting point, and a preparation guide with everything you need to arrive ready.
    The closest airports are Marseille Provence Airport and Nice Côte d’Azur Airport. A car is highly recommended, as the most beautiful locations are usually in the countryside.
  • What time will the session take place?
    Lavender sessions take place either at sunrise or sunset, when the light is soft, flattering, and most beautiful. In summer, sunrise sessions usually begin around 5:30 am, and sunset sessions around 8:15 pm, depending on the date and location.
    Daytime sessions are possible upon request, but golden hour is always recommended for the best atmosphere and final result.
  • How many outfits can I bring? What will we have time for?
    It depends on the session you choose.
    For shorter portrait sessions, we usually have time for one main look, sometimes two if the change is simple. For Full Experience or Signature sessions, we have more time for several looks, additional locations, and a more complete visual story.
    Before your session, I will help you plan the best rhythm so everything feels natural and not rushed.
    Depending on the season and your date, we may also include other Provence landscapes such as wheat fields, olive trees, wild herbs, stone villages, or sunflower fields.
  • What should I wear? Do you help with styling?
    Yes — styling guidance is included before every session.
    Flowing dresses, soft fabrics, linen, silk, and natural tones photograph beautifully in lavender. I will help you choose what works best for the light, the location, and the mood of your session.
  • I've never done a photoshoot before. Will you guide me?
    Absolutely.
    Most of my clients are not professional models, and I will guide you throughout the entire session. I focus on natural movement, flattering poses, soft direction, and real emotion, so you can feel comfortable from the very beginning.
    The goal is not to “pose perfectly,” but to create images that feel elegant, effortless, and true to you.
  • How do I book a session?
    You can fill in the booking form on this page or contact me directly on Instagram.
    To confirm your date and time, a 30% deposit is required. The remaining balance is paid before or on the day of the session, depending on your chosen payment method.
    Once your booking is confirmed, you will receive all the preparation details, styling guidance, and the exact meeting location.
  • What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my session?
    Soft cloudy weather can be very beautiful in lavender fields, as it creates gentle and even light. In case of rain or unsafe weather conditions, we will reschedule at no additional cost whenever possible. I monitor the forecast closely before every session and will contact you if the conditions look uncertain.
  • When will I receive my photos?
    Rush delivery is available upon request — full gallery within 48 hours, depending on the session and the number of images.
