# Event Details - **Event Name**: Back-to-School Portrait Day at the Apothecary - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: There is a version of the school picture most of us have quietly accepted. A folding backdrop in the gym, ninety seconds under fluorescent lights, and an envelope that comes home a month later. On Saturday, September 12, we are trying something else. Photographer Chance Varner is setting up a portrait studio inside the Bloomfield Lavender Apothecary from 10am to 2pm. Every child who comes through sits for a real portrait with classic painterly lighting, on a schoolhouse-inspired set built with dried lavender from our farm. Five unhurried minutes with someone who knows how to make a kid laugh. HOW IT WORKS Chance has 5-minute slots running all day with a few breaks built in. Reserve a time and walk straight in, or simply show up. Walk-ins are welcome the entire window and Chance will work you in between appointments. Nobody who wants a photo gets turned away. Bringing more than one child? Reserve a slot for each so everyone gets their own portraits. Sibling and buddy shots happen in the same session at no extra booking. WHAT TO WEAR The set is warm and earthy, so fall colors photograph beautifully against it. Rust, olive, mustard, cream, deep brown, and denim. Skip bright neons and busy graphic prints if you can. Solid colors give you the most timeless result. PRICING Portraits start at $4.99 and nothing is due when you book. After the event your finished photographs go into a secure online gallery and you decide what you want from there. No package to commit to in advance, no pressure on the day. Packages run $24.99 to $74.99, digital files are $4.99 or $19.99, and individual prints are available from wallets up to 24x36. FOR THE KIDS We are setting up Camp Bloomfield activities in the shop so little ones stay busy before and after their turn. A lavender sachet to make, a sensory station, and a story corner. Come early, browse the apothecary, and let them play.
