📸🌿 Planning your maternity photoshoot? Come celebrate this chapter at Little Farm Plays. 🤍🐮

Your special photos deserve a setting that feels like you. A little fresh air, your favourite person beside you and perhaps a Highland calf making a very cute appearance. 🤭

Our farm in Pakenham, Victoria, brings country charm to outdoor maternity photography: wide-open paddocks, green fields, natural light and our much-loved Highland cows. 🌾

Picture a gentle stroll together, hands resting on your bump and a shared smile as a fluffy neighbour joins the frame. Not just beautiful maternity portraits, but a day together that becomes part of the memory. 🤍

Looking for a farm photoshoot location in Melbourne’s south-east? Our peaceful countryside setting gives you somewhere to slow down and celebrate the moments you’d love to keep.

Whether you’re planning maternity photos, a couples shoot or family milestone portraits, tell us what you have in mind. We’d love to help you plan your visit and make Little Farm Plays part of your story.

One day, you’ll show your little one these photographs and say, “That was us, waiting to meet you.” And yes, there might be a very fluffy cow in the picture, too. 🐮💛

📸 A special thank you to Stories by Sundus for capturing these beautiful maternity moments at our farm.

💛🌿 Some childhood memories are made in the simplest moments.
A gentle walk through the farm. 🐴
A little hand reaching out to feed a Highland cow. 🐄
Collecting fresh eggs. 🥚
Meeting new animal friends. 🐑

And that unforgettable smile when a child realises they’re brave enough to get just a little closer. ✨
At Little Farm Plays, it’s not just about seeing farm animals.
It’s about giving children the chance to slow down, explore, get curious and experience what it feels like to connect with animals and nature in a real farm setting. 🌿

Sometimes the best childhood memories aren’t planned.
They happen while muddy little boots wander through the farm, tiny hands reach out to feed an animal, and families simply enjoy being together. 💚

Whether it’s your little one’s first farm adventure or another special family day out, there’s always something new to discover at Little Farm Plays. 🐴🐄🐑

🎄📸 Christmas Minis at Little Farm Plays are here! 🐴🐮

This November, Little Farm Plays is teaming up with Captured by Annie Crane for a series of relaxed, professionally photographed Christmas Mini sessions — combining beautiful family photos with a real farm experience. 💛

Instead of asking the kids to sit still and hold a smile, come spend some time together. Meet the animals, cuddle a Highland cow, decorate a pony’s mane, explore the festive farm setting and let the moments happen naturally while they’re captured for you. ✨

There are three Christmas experiences to choose from:

🐮 Cuddles with a Highland Cow — $295
20-minute private animal experience
📸 5 high-resolution digital images
🎞️ Keepsake Polaroid

✨ Option to upgrade to the full gallery

🐴🐮🐔 The Whole Farmyard — $395
45-minute private animal experience
📸 8 high-resolution digital images
🎞️ Keepsake Polaroid
✨ Option to upgrade to the full gallery

The sessions are designed to be gentle, relaxed and child-led. There’s time to settle in, interact with the animals and simply enjoy being together — because those unplanned cuddles, funny little reactions and genuine smiles often make the photos you love most. 💛

And it’s more than getting the Christmas photo ticked off the list. It’s a little family outing at the farm, with beautiful photographs to take home afterwards for Christmas cards, gifts, prints or simply to keep. 🎁

📅 Available 7, 11, 12 & 13 November 2026
📍 Little Farm Plays, 190 Twists Road, Pakenham VIC 3810

🎄📸 What if your Christmas photos felt less like a photoshoot… and more like a really lovely day together? 🐴🐮💛

That’s exactly what our Christmas Minis at Little Farm Plays are all about.

No worrying about everyone looking at the camera at the same time. No asking little ones to sit perfectly still and smile.

Instead, you can cuddle a Highland cow, decorate a pony’s mane, meet our farm friends, laugh together and simply enjoy being a family — while those little moments in between are beautifully captured by Captured by Annie Crane. ✨

And you get to choose how you’d like to spend your Christmas time at the farm:

🐮 Cuddles with a Highland Cow — $295
20-minute private experience • 5 high-resolution digital images • Polaroid keepsake • Option to upgrade to the full gallery
