A beautiful Saturday meant some photoshoot training for Calvin & Hobbes! They did great and we’re getting so excited for spring! Thanks to @hannahf_17 for modeling with the boys. 🫶🏻

Website and reservations information coming soon! 📷

Showing some love for our wooded glade! The tree lines make for a dramatic backdrop any time of year! 😍

Wildflowers, but make ‘em moody! We love the light and airy flowers, but color graded moody shots are such a vibe! 😍

The tease of warmer weather this past week has us itching for the return of our blooms! We’re planning for a larger wildflower field this year with blooms anticipated from June - October. 🌸

We recently welcomed a couple of the cutest new faces to our bachelor barn!

Meet Calvin & Hobbes! Calvin is a spotted mini donkey and Hobbes is his emotional support mini horse! Donkeys form very tight bonded pairs with each other, and Calvin��’s bonded BFF just happens to be a horse. They fit right in with Brennan & Dale and are super friendly! They’ll be ready to steal the spotlight in photo sessions here soon! 🥰

We’re excited to share that Cardigan Acres is officially becoming Bray & Bloom Mini Farm.

As our vision for this property has grown — blending photography, nature, and a few very opinionated mini donkeys — we realized our name needed room to grow with us. With this new chapter, we’re also expanding what we offer, including new experiences and services.

So why the name change? We think Bray & Bloom sums this place up pretty well: animals with big personalities, nature doing its thing, and the memories we get to help make along the way.

Stick around — we’re just getting started, and it’s about to get good.
