Beauty. Advocacy. Community. Action.
A creative way to give back: portraits with purpose, supporting survivors through community and art.
Lavender Sessions – July 13, 2025 | 5–9 PM
Join me for this year’s Lavender Sessions — an evening of outdoor portraits set against the beautiful backdrop of the Bayfield Lavender Farm. These sessions are pay-what-you-can, and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to support women and girls in our community who have experienced abuse and exploitation.
This is the second year running this initiative. In 2024, we raised $765 for the London Abused Women’s Centre (LAWC) — a powerful reminder of what community and creativity can do together.
Sessions are by booking only and will run from 5:00 to 9:00 PM on July 13. Whether you’re coming solo, with a partner, or as a group of friends, this is a chance to capture some beautiful moments while giving back.
The booking form is located further down on this page — just scroll down when you're ready to save your spot!

📍 Where is the lavender farm?
The sessions will take place at 77881 Porters Hill Line, surrounded by beautiful lavender fields.💸 How much should I donate?
These are pay-what-you-can sessions. My regular 30-minute sessions start at $165, but for this event, you can contribute whatever is manageable for you. Every dollar goes toward supporting women in our community who have experienced violence.📷 What will the photos look like?
The sessions are relaxed, candid, and take place in a beautiful outdoor lavender field during golden hour. Expect warm, natural light and soft, dreamy tones. You can check out photos from last year’s Lavender Sessions in my portfolio to get a feel for the style📷 What’s included in the session?
Each session is 15 minutes, and you’ll receive a set of professionally edited, high-resolution images via digital download within 2–3 weeks after the shoot.👫 Can I bring someone with me?
Absolutely — sessions can be for individuals, couples, or small groups (like friends or family). Just note the number of people in the booking form.🐾 Can I bring my pet?
Unfortunately, no pets are allowed at the lavender farm for these sessions.🎒 What should I wear?
Soft, neutral tones (like beige, cream, or light blues) look beautiful with the lavender. Avoid bright/neon colours or bold logos. Dress in something that feels comfortable and authentic to you.🌧 What if it rains?
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, I’ll reach out with a rescheduled date or alternative option.💰 How do I pay?
Donations are accepted via e-transfer or cash on the day of your session. Full details will be included in your confirmation email.🕒 Can I book more than one time slot?
Please only book one timeslot. If you’d like extra time or have a larger group, reach out before booking and I’ll try to accommodate! -
Please be mindful when booking your Session. Last year, we had several last-minute cancellations — and while life happens, it really throws off the flow of the day. These sessions are short, donation-based, and time-limited. When someone cancels last minute (or doesn’t show up), it’s nearly impossible to fill the spot, and that means less money raised and more disruption for everyone involved — especially the other photographers donating their time.
If something comes up and you need to cancel, please give me much notice as possible so we can try to fill your spot. It’s a small thing that makes a big difference. Thanks for understanding and respecting the time and energy that goes into making this day run smoothly.
