My review is for the studio? Holiday Photography session that I booked for my children.
I decided to try someone new this year, as I had seen some cute pictures on the website and I thought it would be a fun outing enjoying scenery on the way out to Duvall and it was a pretty drive.
Upon entering the property there are no signs directing where to go, so we pulled into the alpaca farm area. We were greeted by the husband quickly and told to come back in 45 minutes as another session had ran longer.
This place is far from town so we had to drive a bit to find a place to get coffee and wait.
Coming up to the door there is a very large dog barking loudly in his cage..(something to keep in mind if you or children are scared of dogs. )
The studio is in the basement of their home. ( I personally would have never booked this if I knew that.)
We were told to remove our shoes which made photo's of my kids not worth downloading as It ruined the photo with socks showing. It made it a VERY awkward and uncomfortable session for me to watch while waiting because I had no socks on because I was in very warm ugg boots. So I had to stand there cold and barefoot. With the addition of smelling a manure scent the whole time.
I was told there would be some editing and photo shop of snow on the ground but they all came unedited.
I definitely would not return or recommend to family or friends. I am sure the alpaca experience is super fun on its own but not the home studio experience. Hope my review makes it more clear on...
Read moreWe had such a wonderful time at Enchanted Farms! From the moment we arrived, the experience felt warm and welcoming. The animals were the highlight of our visit — the donkey, alpacas, rabbits, goats, and sheep were all friendly, well-cared for, and such a joy to interact with. Each one had its own personality, and it made the experience feel very personal and memorable.
Our tour guide, Esther, was fantastic. She gave clear instructions, shared interesting facts about the animals, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the tour. Her passion for the animals really came through, and it added so much to the overall experience. You can tell she truly cares about both the visitors and the animals.
The farm itself is beautiful and well-kept, making it a peaceful and fun environment for families. It’s such a unique and hands-on way to spend a day, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an engaging activity with kids or just wanting to enjoy some time with animals.
We left with big smiles and so many great memories. Thank you, Enchanted Farms, and especially Esther, for making our...
Read moreThat rare thing in a complex, noisy world - a pure and simple experience that's exactly what it says it will be. This is an authentic, working farm with animals that are well cared for (and often rescued) and you're allowed (book ahead) to visit under careful supervision. No hype, nothing commercial or staged, just the tiny details of life that make it sweet - little hands stretched out to feed goats and sheep, children learning to be gentle with bunnies and ducks, and alpacas with improbably long necks, snaggle teeth and silly personalities. Nicole and her husband felt like friends (helped when Nicole noticed I'd accidentally booked too many alpaca walks and contacted me to check and offer a refund). My three year old was enraptured, as was every other child and most of the adults. Fun doesn't get more wholesome and...
