Chatteroy Creamery – by Shaun Schlager

Chatteroy Goat Creamery in Chatteroy, Wa is a fun little place to spend the day. Our class had a location shoot here.
Christine and I were the first to shoot. Our shoot was about how they get the goats milk.
After our shoot, we spent most of the day taking photographs of the animals on the farm. I noticed that most of the students were by passing the sheep. Growing up on farms and ranches, I knew that sheep are skittish and you have to approach them slowly.
From the moment I opened the gate and started to walk out to the sheep, a certain tup, or better known as a ram was keeping a close eye on me. I was a good 50 to 60 yards away, but they made sure to keep their distance. I slowly inched my way closer. When I was around 20 yards away, I lay down in the grass and kept shooting.

I get bored easy due to my ADHD, so I started to stray from shooting normal photographs. People that really know me know that I am a goof and do odd things. So this is part of my boredom. 
Elizabeth, DeAndra and Lark were working on the last shoot of the day.
While they were setting up, April , better known now as Momma, was keeping her kids happy.
 The last shoot was of the owners of the creamery, Becky and Lon.  We never saw the finished product but I am sure it turned out well.
