So, you're thinking of booking a Highland Cow experience?
Yay! We couldn't be more excited for you! Myself and Tahni from Vizzari's Highlands will do the absolute most to ensure you have an enjoyable, memorable experience that you can hold onto forever in photographs. These experiences are so much more than just photos - it's a complete experience where we encourage everyone to connect with nature and escape the everyday stresses of life.
A chance to disconnect from everyday stress.
Between work, family, endless notifications - it's easy to forget how calming and healing nature can be.
A Highland Cow session gives you permission to slow down, take in the warm country air and sounds and to simply embrace being in the present moment. Surrounded by open paddocks and tall trees, it's an experience that feels worlds away from the hectic feeling of everyday life.
Highland Cows have such gentle personalities.
Despite their impressive horns and fluffy appearance, Highland Cows are very calm and inquisitive.
Some people can arrive nervous and a little intimidated by their size (understandably!) only to leave completely smitten after spending time with these majestic animals. We have even had tears of joy from people who loved interacting with them that much. They are full of personality and their gentle nature makes every interaction feel genuine, creating photographs that show real emotion and reaction instead of forced, awkward smiles.
They also all have their own names - Tahni loves to choose names that correspond with the solar system (ADORABLE): Ferdinand, Aura, Nora, Solar, Eclipse, Luna, Bobby, Ambrose, Fergus, Niamh.
The non Highland herd that you'll also meet: Goldey, Chloe, Philly, Daisy
Your photos tell a story.
Anyone can stand in front of a pretty background for a photograph.
Interacting and connecting with nature creates natural moments that photograph beautifully. Moments of laughter as curious cows approach for a pet, get the zoomies and even stop mid photo to flick their fringe into the right position. These moments are especially accentuated when golden hour is in full swing - picture yourself bathing in the golden hour glow alongside these magnificent creatures.
Every session is completely unique.
And trust me, it is. No two Highland Cows have the same personality, and no two sessions unfold the same way. Not to mention different lighting and weather scenarios which provide a different feel for each session.
Some cows are playful and curious, others are relaxed and happy to quietly wander alongside you. Others can be shy until they warm up to you. That's what makes every gallery feel personal and unique - each cow will adjust to suit how they feel in your presence!
It's perfect for almost any occasion.
Whether you are celebrating an engagement, proposing, documenting your maternity journey, birthday, anniversary. Or simply because you just want to experience the Highland's and create beautiful photos you can look back on to relive the moment. Highland Cow sessions offer something truly different to your everyday photo session.
They are perfect for both confident nature lovers and for those who also feel a little on the unsure side - we love to see people who want to embrace this opportunity even though it may be a little out of their comfort zone.
The Experience matters just as much as the photos.
Of course the goal is for you to leave with a gallery full of images that you can share with friends and print to display in your home.
However, many people just love coming to spend time with the cows. Watching them graze, feeding them, giving scratches and brushing them often becomes the highlight of their entire experience. Capturing these candid moments is what ends up being most people's favourite type of images that are in their photo gallery.
It's a memory you will never forget.
Years from now, you won't just look back on your gallery as 'just photographs'.
You'll remember how peaceful it was standing in a paddock surrounded by gentle Highland Cows - laughing at their cheeky personalities and feeling completely immersed in the entire experience.
