ARRIVAL AT THE FARM:

We encourage you and your clients to arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled session time. We schedule sessions back to back so are not able to extend session times in case that someone is running late. All photographers and their client groups must check in at the farm shop. 

If you have any questions about your session once you arrive, feel free to reach out by phone or come into the shop. Once your session time starts, you are welcome to head into the flower fields or natural farm areas.

If inclement weather arrises we will make our best effort to find a time to reschedule. If we are unable to find a new time that works for all parties, we will refund the session fee.

We always hope for perfect weather for photo sessions, but we know that weather happens. We make our final decision on rescheduling a session 2 hours prior to the session start time.

ADDITIONALLY:

Narrow Gate Farm reserves the right to change its policies at any time. As this is an active farm and personal residence, we may be outside working on the farm while you are here. We make every effort to ensure we will not interfere with your session.  We will begin harvesting lavender slowing throughout June in order to maintain premium dried bouquets, however, there will be plenty of areas with uncut plants for beautiful lavender pictures.
