This past February I taught a farm photography class at the US Lavender Conference which is where I met Tasha Brieger, the owner of Hill Country Lavender. Tasha invited and hired me to document all of the activity at the farm, during the Blanco Lavender Festival, which included people cutting lavender, shopping, and generally just enjoying themselves. It was without a doubt one of the busiest days of the year. 

Having never been to a lavender farm, I was unsure what to expect, but it turned out to be a great experience, and the many people who attended had a wonderful time. In the end, it was a lot of fun to document the day’s activities and, of course, the scent of the lavender was wonderful and relaxing the whole time.  Below are some of my favorite photos from the day.

The farm is not open year round but if you are in Blanco you can find their great products at Brieger Pottery downtown or online.
