Old Pictures

When Jessica and I were just getting started, we needed some really nice pictures of our animals. Unfortunately, it was winter, snow was on the ground, and it was so grey and icky outside. So, with the magic of Photoshop and some pretty pictures for backgrounds, we made much nicer pictures then we could have possibly taken:

These were a lot of fun, but looking back on them now, you can tell they were fake pictures (plus they took hours and hours to make). Nowadays, I like our own actual shots. As Jessica said earlier, they're difficult to take, and we look pretty silly running around state parks with elephants and across fields with sheep. The pictures turn out amazing in the end, however, so it's worth it. The alpaca picture down below in the Shepherd's Harvest post is one example. We'll be posting more examples soon!

(The pictures used as backgrounds can be found here, here, here, here, here, and here. All were used under a CC licence and credit was given. We did not sell or make any money on these images, just used them as a background for reference shots.)
