Farming isn't picture-perfect - it's dusty, chaotic, unpredictable, and sometimes ridiculous - and that's exactly where the beauty lives.

Alpaca Perspectives takes readers behind the farm gate and into the heart of rural life, capturing the real moments that rarely make the brochure: the resilience, the joy, the heartbreak, the humour, and the unexpected wisdom found in an alpaca paddock.

Told through a blend of stunning photography and warm, honest storytelling, farmer and fibre artist Amee Dennis shares the small everyday moments that shape a life on the land. From dusty triumphs and midnight emergencies to the quiet magic of morning light and the lessons delivered by a herd of alpacas with strong opinions, this book celebrates the extraordinary hiding inside the ordinary.

This isn't a book about farming - it's a book about being human.

With reflections on authenticity, connection, perspective, hope, resilience, opportunity, love, and the realities we don't talk about enough, Alpaca Perspectives offers comfort, grounding, insight, and a reminder to slow down long enough to notice the good thing in any day.

Ideal for readers who love:

- Nature photography

- Inspirational rural memoirs

- Mindfulness and perspective-shifting stories

- Coffee-table books filled with warmth, humour, and heart

- Simple living, slow living, and authentic storytelling

- Animals, farming, and life off the beaten path

Whether you're a rural soul, a city dreamer, or simply someone whose life hasn't gone to plan (which is most of us), this book invites you to step into the paddock, breathe for a moment, and see the world a little differently.

Alpaca Perspectives is a reminder that life doesn't have to be perfect to be good - and that sometimes, the alpacas end up teaching us the most.

Amee Dennis is a farmer, fibre artist, and storyteller from rural South Australia. Working from her family farm at Quentin Park Alpacas & Studio Gallery, she creates art and writing shaped by land, livestock, and the beautifully unpredictable rhythm of farm life. Her practice blends agriculture and creativity - transforming alpaca fleece into handmade pieces while capturing the humour, honesty, and daily realities of life on the land.Her writing is grounded, warm, and quietly insightful, drawn from the moments that rarely make the brochures but say everything about what it means to show up, keep going, and find the good in the everyday.Alpaca Perspectives pairs Amee's reflective storytelling with the photography of Nicole Drew, whose images honour the character and spirit of the animals who inspired the book.
