Bayliss Ranch Lavender Farm California Photos - Mendoza Family

Today we are excited to share with you this beautiful lavender ranch family photo session! 

We first met Susie almost a year ago when we co-hosted The Vivify Workshop. Susie was an attendee and so sweet. After introducing ourselves, we quickly found that she lived only a few towns over. We stayed in touch and ran into each other again at a Chico local Tuesday's Together meet-up. Susie sent us an email saying her and husband would be celebrating their ten year wedding anniversary this June! To celebrate, they wanted us to take their family photos. We are so honored when other photographers ask us to take their anniversary photos!

When talking about photo locations, Susie suggested this amazing California lavender farm which was in full bloom. We always drive by the lavender fields on our way out of town and had always wanted to shoot there. The lavender hills remind me of all the lavender fields in France I keep seeing popping up on social media. We had the whole lavender ranch to ourselves and it ended up being the perfect evening with this sweet family. 

We walked around the property with Susie's family including her two adorable daughters. I'm not surprised by this, but Susie has such a great eye for color. The whole family looked amazing in their matching neutral and blush color palette. This palette was stunning against the rolling hills of lavender.

Congrats friends on your ten year wedding anniversary and the beautiful family you have. Every anniversary is worth celebrating and we're honored to have documented this big milestone. Here's to the next 10 years of love and happiness!
