Portraits with Purpose: Holiday at the Barn

Holiday Family Photos Supporting Minis on the Move

This holiday season, your family photos can help bring a little more joy into our community.

Join us at Unbridled Paths for a special Holiday Family Photography Fundraiser benefiting Minis on the Move, our outreach program created to bring the comfort, connection, and joy of our miniature horse, Buttercup, beyond the barn and directly to people who may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience it.

Through Minis on the Move, Buttercup will be able to visit places such as assisted-living and memory-care communities, hospice programs, schools, and programs serving individuals with special needs.

But to make those visits possible, we need to be able to safely get Buttercup there.

Funds raised through our holiday photography sessions will help support the Minis on the Move campaign, including our goal of obtaining the small trailer and equipment needed to transport Buttercup safely throughout our community.

Your Holiday Photography Session

For a $50 contribution, your family will receive:

A 15-minute professional photography session
Our specially prepared holiday setting
Two professionally edited digital images
Electronic delivery of your finished photographs

Professional photographer Alexandra Popiny is generously donating her time and photography services, which means your participation can have an even greater impact.

Why Are Appointments So Limited?

We are taking advantage of a very special natural-light window as the afternoon sun falls across our photography setting.

That beautiful light doesn't last long, so only a limited number of 15-minute sessions can be offered.

Appointments are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and advance reservations are required.

Two Beautiful Things From One Photo Session

Your family walks away with beautiful holiday photographs.

And your contribution helps Minis on the Move take another step toward bringing Buttercup into the community to visit people who could use a little extra connection, comfort, and joy.

That's what makes this fundraiser so special.

You're not only creating a holiday memory for your own family.

You're helping us create new memories for many more families throughout our community.
