Valensole, Provence
June 23 – July 8, 2026 | Limited Availability
Experience Provence at its most breathtaking — during the peak lavender bloom in the iconic fields of Valensole.
For just three weeks each summer, I offer a select number of exclusive photo sessions designed to capture you at golden hour, surrounded by endless purple beauty.

✨ Why This Moment Matters
Timing is everything. Lavender season is brief — and nature doesn’t wait.
  • Before June 23 – the bloom hasn’t fully opened.
  • After July 8 – most fields are cut — and the purple dream is gone until next year.
I return to Valensole every year, scouting the most cinematic locations and perfect lighting to create images filled with softness, joy, and color. Each session is personally directed, fully styled, and guided from start to finish.

✨Golden Hour in Lavender Fields
Each session is timed to capture Provence in its most ethereal light — at sunrise or sunset, when the lavender glows and the fields feel almost unreal.
Drawing on years of experience and deep local knowledge, I select only the most beautiful dates during the peak bloom.
Whether you're:
– a solo traveler,
– a couple in love,
– a family exploring Provence, or
– celebrating a personal milestone — this is your chance to step into a dream and take it home in photographs. This is your moment.

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.
