Happy 'farmily': portraits of people and their animals – in pictures
Photographer Tasha Hall creates what she calls ‘farmily’ portraits – featuring families and their animals. Hall, from British Columbia in Canada, says she got the idea after wanting to include all her furry friends in a family portrait. She now travels the world capturing other families with their livestock and pets

Tasha Hall creates ‘farmily’ portraits featuring families and their animals
-
She says: ‘I started creating these images because I wanted to create a full farm portrait of our own farm’
-
‘To me, all of our animals are also our family, and having a portrait of all of us together was something I really wanted to create. After I had figured out how to make it happen, and shared it online, people started messaging me to see if I could create something like that for their farm too. I started practising on other farms, and slowly my business was born’
-
‘The images themselves take some time to create. We spend most of a full day at a farm, spending time with our clients and their animals’

‘The “set” is created, and then we start photographing the animals. Sometimes we do one animal at a time, sometimes more, depending on how well behaved they are’
-
-
‘We take our time and work on getting the very best portrait of each animal. Once I get home, the real magic begins as I put it all together to create one final portrait’
