Mini Photo Sessions.

These Mini Sessions are short, sweet, and oh-so-adorable!
Mini Photo Sessions run on selected dates throughout the year for special occasions.
Mini Photo Sessions can be booked as a package with The Highland Cattle Experience on most other weekends.

2025 Dates:
Christmas Minis - 15th November 2025
NEW CHRISTMAS MINI DATE ADDED - 29th November 2025

This is your chance to get up close & personal with an adorable Highland cow, with every special moment of the unforgettable experience captured by professional photographers! You’ll have the opportunity to feed, brush, pat and cuddle a Highland cow, and LySar Photography will capture posed & candid photos during your shoot.

Bookings include an optional complimentary printable PDF Gift Certificate to gift to your special someone - Highland Cow themed of course!

Images will be provided by LySar Photography in an online gallery. From the gallery, you can select your images for high-resolution download, and printing. Additional digital downloads and prints from your photoshoot can be purchased from LySar Photography. Please note online galleries will be available before Christmas, and while we expect that prints will also be received by Christmas, no guarantees can be made for the timing of delivery of prints. This is dependent on the printing lab and Australia Post, and ultimately it is out of our control.

Please note these special packages are for a Mini Photo Shoot only, and include time with one of our Highland calves. The Highland Cattle Experience tour is not included.
