Feed, Brush & Fall in Love with the Highland Cows of Vernor

 Just minutes from Fernvale, Highlands of Vernor is a working Highland cattle property in the heart of the Somerset Region — a stunning backdrop for an intimate, hands-on experience with these gentle, shaggy-coated giants.

I'm thrilled to offer one-on-one Highland cow photography experiences at this beautiful property, right on my doorstep. You'll spend time feeding, brushing and walking alongside the herd, while I capture the connection between you and these incredible animals.

Whether you're after an intimate portrait, a relaxed family session, or something a little more special — I've captured a few proposals among the herd here too — Highlands of Vernor offers a picturesque Somerset Region setting for whatever you have in mind.

A $200 farm experience fee is paid directly to the farmer at Highlands of Vernor to help cover the ongoing care of the cattle, and secures your preferred date and time. Photography packages are chosen and paid for separately after your session, once you've viewed your gallery — with three options to choose from, starting at $650 for 10 digital images.

 FARM ADDRESS IS AVAILABLE ONCE A BOOKING IS MADE.

Kelly is such an amazing and professional photographer. I have 3 boys on the spectrum and 1 in particular is especially tricky in new situations, unfamiliar people and unknown environments. With Kelly's calm nature and relaxed approach, we were able to come away with not only a magical highland cow experience, but also a gallery of amazing, authentic shots. Kelly gave us a safe space where I could gently navigate my heightened son through something beautiful and had such a quick turn around getting all the images up for selection. We loved our experience with Kelly and absolutely adore the organic photos she captured for us x.

"Kelly is ABSOLUTELY amazing! Her work is beyond this planet and she makes you feel so comfortable during your session. We did a family photo shoot with the Highland Cows experience and honestly, it was the BEST thing we've ever done. The images are PERFECT, the experience was incredible, and the turnaround was unbelievably fast. Kelly is so easy to talk to, keeps in communication before, during and after your shoot, and I honestly cannot recommend her enough. If you're looking for a family photographer who doesn't make things awkward and creates a relaxed, enjoyable experience, Kelly is your gal! And don't forget the Highland Cow encounters because OH MY GOD 😍"

Firstly the communication was excelent, then the photo session we hate getting photos done but you didnt feel like it was. Kelly made you feel comfortable, she was friendly and we absolutely loved the finished product. It was so hard to pick the photos we wanted because we loved them all and would have brought all of them if we could. Highly recommend, we will be going back.

Meet Your Highland Cow Farmer - Ash

Hi, I'm Ashleigh! Alongside my husband Aaron, our two wonderful children, and our beloved Highland cows, we proudly represent Highlands of Vernor, nestled in the heart of Somerset, Fernvale, Queensland.

Beyond being a dedicated mother to both humans and coos, my passion lies in Emergency Nursing, where I've spent over a decade caring for others. Aaron and I are lifelong locals, and when the opportunity arose to expand our home, we knew Highland cows were the perfect fit.

Why Highlands? Well, what's not to love? From their majestic horns and shaggy fringes to their soft noses, fluffy coats, and gentle nature, these incredible animals are more than just farm livestock-they're family. With love, patience, and care, they thrive on human connection and become affectionate companions.

Since starting our registered fold in 2021, we've been on an exciting journey, and we're thrilled to welcome our first baby Highland calves in 2025! As proud members of the Australian Highland Cattle Society, we are dedicated to preserving and promoting this remarkable breed.
