Livestock
LIVESTOCK SESSIONS (livestock only*, or livestock with a showman) start at $425
Session Details and Recommendations & What’s Included:
Sessions include one individual and their livestock, or livestock alone. Additional family members (up to 4 additional people) will add $20 for each individual to your package price. Adding individuals will forfeit any FFA or 4H discounts.
Creative time to photograph you or your loved ones (these are typically 60-90+ minute sessions depending on how many venues we shoot at, how many wardrobe changes happen & how many subjects are in the shoot)
Professional edits and touch ups to the photographs as needed.
15 high resolution digital, downloadable images from your own personal gallery.
The option to purchase additional downloads, prints and other memorable items directly from your gallery (the cost of prints are not included in your session price).
Unlimited wardrobe changes are allowed (2-3 typically fit into this available shoot time). Note: not all venues will have a place to change clothes.
• Livestock Sessions may include black background images upon request & if you have the enclosed facility to shoot in such as a barn.
• These sessions can be shot on your location of choice such as your property, your barn, or at a livestock show. We also have various venues which we may shoot at that charge a fee but can have gorgeous barns and backgrounds.
• You may consider recruiting a friend or family member to have with you at the shoot to help you with your livestock between your wardrobe changes, to aid in grooming touch ups, tack changes, and to keep the attention of the livestock while shooting if possible. Grain buckets, grocery bags on a stick, keys and other items are nice to have on hand also aid in this task.
• Livestock sessions typically last 60-90+ minutes. If additional time beyond 120 minutes is requested (such as at a livestock show), an hourly rate of $65 will be billed.
• We typically shoot livestock sessions at sunrise or an hour before sunset for ideal lighting.
• Since we are racing the sun and have limited time it is suggested you have the animals and showmen ‘show ready’ and able to begin the shoot when we arrive on location.
• Please refer to the investment tab for all travel costs and deposit details.
*Sales or Conformation sessions with livestock only are available for any marketing or sales purposes that you may have. Special pricing may be bid for large herd, breeding or show stock shots (without a person) upon request.
FOR ALL LIVESTOCK, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT SEVERELY MUDDY BODYS AND LEGS CANNOT BE TOUCHED UP. IF WE’RE PHOTOGRAPHING IN A CORRAL WHICH TENDS TO GET MUDDY, LET’S CHOOSE A DATE THAT IS WELL PAST RAINY DAYS FOR THIS PURPOSE. ALSO BE SURE TO USE FLY SPRAY PRIOR TO OUR PHOTOSHOOT DATE SO THEIR BODIES ARE FREE FROM FLIES.
