Cute animals….pretty hard to take a bad photo at Winterpast Farm!
Please make an appointment to come take photos. This can sometimes be during a farm visit or a separate event with your own photographer. Either way the charge is $10 per person and if before or after posted open hours an additional $10 for Farmer Mary for her one one one help for up to an hour.
Text Farmer Mary with farm visit or photography requests. Please state dates you want the ages, ages that will interact with the animals, remind Farmer Mary if you have visited the farm, mention specific animals you want to see or take pictures with.
Please try to provide as much information possible so Farmer Mary can simply reply “yes” and avoid endless back and forth texts. 919-244-1800. Please do not FB message, Instagram message, leave voice mails, or try to email.
Texting ONLY please. 919-244-1800. Please text only between 8am and 10pm. Farmer Mary will not return texts made at other times.
Just text Farmer Mary at 919-244-1800. Please text only between 8am and 10pm. Farmer Mary will not return texts made at other times.
Photos can be taken in the front area of Winterpast Farm during regular paid farm visits although Farmer Mary will be busy with other paying visitors.
Or you can schedule one on one time with Farmer Mary and explore photographing in the back pasture and woods and barn. One on one would obviously be before or after posted open dates and hours. Or occasionally on a day listed as closed. One hour (approx) $10/ person. Cash only. Too many bad checks lately! This is one of many ways Farmer Mary makes money so that she can continue to care for and feed all the former pets now living at Winterpast Farm.
It is totally up to you to keep ALL your photography event humans of all ages with you at all times and not allow them go wander, to open doors of vans, (vans are no longer here as of August 2019) chase animals, climb woodpiles or get out of sight. It is totally up you you to remind all clients that they are at the farm for the photo shoot only unless they want to combine your shoot with a paid farm visit (assuming the farm is posted open). It is up to you to ask them to arrive on time, to wait at the gate for you or an assistant of yours to let them in, and to leave promptly after the photo shoot. A photo shoot is NOT a petting zoo visit. Farmer Mary should not have to get involved with disciplining or reprimanding your clients. You can tell your clients to read “your visit” at www.winterpast.org to learn how they can schedule a farm visit.
If you want animals, Farmer Mary can assist if before or after posted open hours for the zoo. She cannot guarantee which animal will do well with your group but all animals are friendly and very used to interacting with people of all ages. Before you get your heart set on certain animals, please keep in mind that some animals like baby chicks and lambs are seasonal.
