Enchanted New Jersey Unicorn Session in an Orchard.

Experience the magic of a New Jersey Unicorn Session in a serene orchard. Spring 2025 brought enchanting moments at a hidden gem in Cumberland County.

This past spring in 2019, I got to hold some beautiful orchard unicorn sessions. Every single session we offer, we try to offer something unique in terms of a variety of locations. Tucked away on a farm on the outskirts of Cumberland County, New Jersey sits this little piece of farm paradise. We had to pleasure of doing our spring orchards sessions here. Our first time!

As you enter the enchanting peach orchard in New Jersey, a sense of magic fills the air. The sunlight filters through the vibrant green leaves, casting a golden hue over the orchard. The soft fragrance of blooming peaches tickles your nose, and you can hear the gentle rustling of leaves and birdsong in the distance.

As you wander further into the orchard, a faint giggle catches your attention. Turning your gaze towards the sound, you spot a whimsical unicorn frolicking among the peach trees. Its pristine white coat glistens in the sunlight, adorned with a shimmering mane and a horn that glimmers with all the colors of the rainbow.

Meet Drifter: Our Beloved Unicorn

Drifter, our star unicorn, was a joy to work with throughout these sessions. His pristine white coat and shimmering rainbow mane made him the perfect companion for our little adventurers. Drifter’s gentle, curious nature put everyone at ease, allowing us to capture authentic moments of joy and connection. We take pride in ensuring every unicorn session is not only magical but also safe—we are bonded, insured, and take every precaution when working with live animals.

Twirling in a Southern New Jersey Peach Orchard!

The Magic of a Unicorn Session

From the moment families arrived, they were transported into a fairytale. Children’s laughter echoed through the orchard as they played hide-and-seek among the trees, chased fireflies, and danced in the golden light of sunset. Drifter delighted in weaving through the peach trees, his horn occasionally brushing the branches, as if sprinkling a bit of extra magic on the orchard.

Every unicorn session is crafted to bring out the best in our clients, whether it’s capturing the wonder in a child’s eyes or the pure joy of a family experiencing a day unlike any other. Our goal is to create timeless portraits and unforgettable memories that families will cherish forever.

A Tale of Whimsy: “Unicorn Whispers”

Inspired by the magic of our unicorn sessions, we’ve imagined a heartwarming story of Lily and her unicorn companion, Sparkle. Together, they navigate the challenges of protecting an enchanted orchard, reminding us all of the power of friendship, bravery, and belief.

As the seasons change, Lily and Sparkle’s tale comes alive, much like the magic we strive to capture in every photo session. It’s a story that reflects the joy, wonder, and beauty we hope to bring to each of our clients.
