I Created A Photo Project Called “Farmily” Where I Capture Families And All Their Animals (30 Pics)
You always see family portraits on the walls of people’s homes, but for me, the family doesn’t stop with the people. What about all of our furred and feathered “Farmily” members? They are just as much a part of the family as any human component… so, I decided to change the way people look at family portraits! I travel the country photographing full “Farmily” portraits. We include everybody from the largest horse, to the smallest guinea pig, mouse, or snake.
In November of 2019, our beautiful little puppy joined the family. We named her Pixel. She is a black and white Australian shepherd. We spend a lot of our summers doing “Farmily” photo tours, where we go across the country photographing farms and pets along the way. Of course, little Pixel came with us on all of our 2020 tours. You can find her in some of the photos down below!

Each of our furred or feathered (and sometimes scaled) friends has its own unique personality, and each one is photographed in a way that will bring out that individual soul. We create a moment in time as it is right now… a moment that will never come again, as things change and animals come and go… many of my clients have me come back year after year to document the changes in their lives as time goes on.
I am the only full farm photographer in the world, that I know of. My goal is to travel the globe to photograph the different farms and lifestyles of people in many countries. One day I will write a book with all of the portraits and stories that go along with them.
Due to COVID, we were unable to do as many tours as we typically might do, but we did get out on the road and visit some great farms anyway. Pixel had a wonderful time at every farm we visited, and we managed to sneak her into all of our full farm portraits! See if you can spot her in some of the images—some are harder than others!

It's amazing to me how attentive all the horses are to what is going on..

Thankyou. Loved these pictures. Backdrops, scenery. Don’t know how you got the animals to behave, but they were all enjoyable to see.

The colors of their animal pack range from off-white to brown and everything in between.
These are lovely, but it makes me wonder if the animals are composited into the portraits, otherwise it's quiet the choreography feat to have these lovely sentient creatures to stand in their particular spots for a photoshoot! Also the use of HDR is a little strong, but makes the picture vibrant nevertheless with over-saturated colors.
I would assume they are composites, but they do bring home the meaning of family when captured in one portrait. There is so much going on in each that they are a pleasure to look at.

Beautiful families indeed. The horrific reality is that the furry and feathery members of the family will have their throats cut, and their flesh be devoured by the human members. Well, humanity NEVER lived in peace ......as I say: the way we dine, the way we live.
You would be surprised. Most of the people who hire me to photograph their farms really love their animals and don't eat them. Many of these farms are rescues, and many of these animals have come from horrific backgrounds and will live out their lives in happiness.
Load More Replies...These are incredible! How do they get their furry and feathery family members to all stay put for a photo like that? I can’t even get all my 8 cats together for one photo.
As much as I love these shots, "he travelled all over the country in 2020"???????. During Covid?
These were mostly taken in 2018/2019. Last summer we managed only 7 farms while our province was "open" to move around, and all 7 farms were fairly local.

I have to assume digital retouching. No way all these lovely animals can be that well-behaved!
