Artists and Photographers

Artists

Please join us for a Plein Air day for painting and drawing in the field!  We will have portapotties and water for brushes.  Bring your easels, paints, and supplies and create away!  We’ll hold a contest to vote for the favorite painting/drawing and the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate and their artwork will be used to promote our 2019 season!

Photographers and Videographers

Professional photographers and photography clubs are welcome!  If you sign up for our regular Upick days, feel free to take pictures and video during that time.  If you would like exclusive access outside Upick hours for mini-sessions, bridal/maternity/family sessions or for your portfolio, there is a fee and a booking process.

• The fee is $20/hour.
• You can book any time we aren’t marked closed or booked during the season – 5/18 – 6/16.  You need to look at the calendar to see the open and booked times!  (View the calendar on a desktop, tablet or as full site on mobile devices to see all the detail.)
• You can book up until 8:30pm to get that last sunset light. You can book for early morning light, but let’s discuss those hours. 🙂
• If you need to book a raindate, make sure to look at those open dates/times too.
• You may bring small props (things you can easily use in the field).
• You may use any area but the house and greenhouse area and inside the barn.
• A common question is when is the fullest bloom or best time to come, etc – we have two main kinds of lavender and one blooms earlier and one blooms later, so there’s always something blooming.  Read more here.

Review our Calendar to see open and booked times, then Contact Us with the day and time you are interested in.  Once we have settled on that, you’ll get photographers agreement and will be invoiced to book the time.
