Lavender Mini Session 2021 | Bywater Hollow Lavender Farm

I love photographing families at Bywater Hollow Lavender Farm in Lincoln, especially during the lavender season (mid-May to mid-June).

The lavender is, of course, beautiful and smells amazing, but the ponds and dock make for pretty pictures, too.

These photos were taken in June 2021, and I plan to offer lavender mini-sessions again this year, most likely the first weekend of June. Sign up for my newsletter to be the first to learn the date and times.

Lavender Mini Sessions | The E Sisters

More mini session fun in the lavender fields at Bywater Hollow Lavender Farm!

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this sister duo nearly every year in the spring — since the littlest one was maybe two?!

The younger sister adores her older sister, and it’s the sweetest thing watching them interact.

They are such playful and fun-loving girls! I can’t wait to see them again next spring.

Lavender Mini Sessions | The B Family

Mini session at Bywater Hollow Lavender Farm

For the past several years, I’ve reeeeeeallly wanted to hold spring mini sessions at Bywater Hollow Lavender Farm, but for one reason or another, it had never worked out in my schedule. That is, until THIS year!

I had four great sessions in the lavender fields — two of the sessions were me photographing just the kids and the other two were pics of the whole families, along with kid pics. As you can see, this session falls in the latter category.

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this sweet family many, many times…maybe 5 or 6 times now?! I love watching their kiddos grow up in front of my lens. The kids — and their mom and dad — are SO much fun, so easygoing, and pretty much open to anything I throw at them.

Aren’t they the cutest brother-sister duo?! They were a little scared of the bees on the nearby lavender bushes, but you’d never know by looking at these photos.

Sister knows her brother’s tickle spots for sure!

Aaaaah…I couldn’t believe how easy this was for them to do. I just said, Okay, now just put your foreheads together — and they did it! And the image is so stinkin’ adorable!

This is one of my favorite mom and daughter photos of. all. time.

I love capturing first and second graders with their brand new “adult” teeth. And of course, the holes between the teeth, too. Because in just five years or so, this smile right here will look radically different.

Speaking of smiles, look at those adorable baby teeth!

Cheesin’ for the camera…and mom and dad and brother! I love when kids feel so comfortable that they can just be themselves — whether that’s silly or serious or fun-loving or dramatic!

Thanks to this father and son duo for playing games and doing silly stunts like this.

What fun it was to photograph the B Family again!

Flowers and photography are two of my favorite things…so I’m definitely going to make lavender mini sessions at Bywater Hollow Lavender Farm an annual June tradition.
