Wrapping Up a Wildly Wonderful Year at the Waddell Farmers Market!
Wow! What a fantastic end to 2024 it’s been! As a professional photographer here in the West Valley of Phoenix, I’ve had the absolute pleasure of spending the last few months at the Get Local Waddell Farmers Market, and it’s been an absolute blast. Partnering with MM Ranch Services Mobile Petting Zoo has been such a fun experience, bringing together adorable animals and happy families for some truly memorable moments.
It’s hard to believe, but we wrapped up our last market of the year on December 15th! Looking back, it’s incredible to realize we hosted a whopping 64 mini photoshoots between October and December! That’s 65 families, couples, and individuals who now have some fun, unique photos to cherish. It’s been so rewarding meeting so many amazing people from our community each week. The energy at the market is always buzzing, and it’s been a joy to capture those special connections.
These photos from our last weekend perfectly capture the spirit of the market – pure joy and connection. The animals from MM Ranch Services are always a huge hit, and they make for such fun and engaging photos.
We even had a beautiful lady who wanted her portrait taken with Willy Nelson and Oreo, the two stunning horses of MM Ranch Services – the results were simply breathtaking! Moments like these truly make what I do so special.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be returning to the Get Local Waddell Farmers Market in January with an adorable Valentine’s Day backdrop! Get ready for some seriously cute “Barnyard Sweetheart” photos! Imagine your little ones snuggling with adorable goats, posing with fluffy bunnies, or sharing a moment with a sweet baby chicks – all against a charming Valentine’s Day setting. It’s the perfect way to capture some heartwarming memories and create unique Valentine’s Day gifts.
Mark your calendars! You can find us at the market on the following dates in 2025:
- January 5th

- February 9th
We can’t wait to see you there! Come on down, say hello, and let’s create some adorable “Barnyard Sweetheart” memories together. It’s going to be a fantastic way to kick off the new year!

I’m looking forward to seeing both familiar faces and new ones at the market in the new year!

Your Friendly Neighborhood Photographer,
