This Little Piggy Stayed Home
This little piggy stayed home is our 2023 spring mini session for children. Our mini session is scheduled for March 25th. Ginger, the pig is not only a photography model but also has a side hustle over at Zuber Petting Zoo where she helps educate children about animals, has camp and crashes children’s birthday parties as the main event with KB Party rentals.
Spring Mini Session
Wait, I thought NicCole only photographed maternity and newborn portraits. Yep you’re right but, there are several times a year we sprinkle motherhood photography with children only mini sessions. It allows mom to get some fun images of her children and allows parents who aren’t familiar with NicCole Photography to “kick the tires.” Plus we just love animals and children and enjoy getting them wound up and giving them back to you 🙂
Meet this little piggy
This little piggy is a petting zoo animal who is well loved and socialized with children daily. She also warms the hearts of nursing home patients. She enjoys a good belly scratch and is more than happy to lay down and roll over so you can get just the right spot. Her favorite treat is celery. I was surprised that she wasn’t very chatty like most pigs and didn’t squeal during her photoshoot. Napping is her favorite past time.
Fishing for Pigs
I have always had a wild imagination and once, when I was a child, I won an award for a story I had written, about a pig. It was the dream I had had the night before. The pig in dream was my guide through magical places and of course he could fly.
(LOL…..I really make sure I don’t eat bananas before bed because I am sure they give me weird dreams.)
Anywho…… I decided before these girls got to the studio that I would make them laugh by asking them to “fish for pigs.” It was a great prompt and Ginger enjoyed pretending she was a fish. Children are so fun!
I think our imagination gets dampened as we grow in age. We realize that you can’t float on paper clips, pigs dont have wings, trees really aren’t wise old people who have seen it all, etc…. As an adult alot of the games I play with my clients children are straight from my childhood. Stories I tell them to get a reaction are things I imagined as a child. Letting children call the shots…mostly…typically makes for a great photoshoot.
