A Christmas Barnyard Bash: Capturing Adorable Moments at the Waddell Farmers Market

As a West Phoenix, AZ based photographer, I’m always on the lookout for unique photo opportunities. The Get Local Waddell Farmers Market at Canyon View High School (6024 N. Perryville Rd, Waddell, AZ) has proven to be the perfect backdrop for a fun-filled day of capturing precious moments for those wanting to support local. There are so many amazing vendors is you are looking for honey, raw milk, cheese, bread and so many arts and crafts! 

The market is always more special thanks to the adorable animals from MM Ranch Services. From, Jolene the donkey, to the playful Bubbles the calf, and the ever-popular Spider Pig, there is a farm animal for everyone. The combination of these charming creatures with the cozy backdrop of a hot cocoa stand created a truly magical atmosphere for a photoshoot.

I had the pleasure of photographing a diverse range of people, from a birthday girl celebrating her special day to adorable baby boys and best friends. One particularly memorable moment was when someone requested a photo with a duck! Apparently, his coworkers had been leaving rubber ducks on his desk..

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be back at the Get Local Farmers Market on December 1st and December 15th taking more photos with the farm animals. If you’re looking for a unique and fun way to capture your family’s holiday spirit, come join us!
