Alpaca Experience Photoshoots & Filming

Step into the New Forest and experience photography at a gentler pace. Our alpaca photoshoots invite you to slow down, breathe, and enjoy time with our kind, curious herd creating natural, joy‑filled images you’ll treasure.

Each session includes two relaxed hours on the farm, countryside‑inspired treats, and five professionally edited photographs taken by talented local photographer, Marie Samel. Perfect for families, siblings, couples, friends, or as a thoughtful gift, it’s a moment of calm connection wrapped in soft, rural beauty.

Quiet, memorable, and rooted in nature this is a photoshoot experience like no other.

Our alpacas have been featured in Countryside Magazine, New Forest Living, Country Living, Hampshire Life and Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh.
