If models add ONE EXTRA BIRD SESSION for a total of three, we will strive to pair you with three different birds of prey if you choose this option; however, due to scheduling, timing, and unpredictable animal behavior, there is a chance one bird may be repeated.
The COUPLE PHOTO SESSION ADD-ON will take place during one of your already included photo sessions with a bird; it is not an additional session. Please note that only one bird will be present at a time, and two birds will not be held simultaneously. You may shoot as much as you'd like together during the open shoots without a bird as well.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN THEME...
Customize your experience by choosing a distinctive theme for one or more of your photoshoot sessions!
Will you be a cunning wizard with a wise owl companion? An Arthurian knight entering battle with a regal falcon by your side? An elven archer hunting with a loyal hawk as your companion?
To help inspire your choice, a curated list of ideas inspired by birds of prey in movies, books, and history will be emailed to you after purchasing a ticket. Examples include:
KNIGHTS & LEGENDS ⋅ WIZARDS & WITCHES ⋅ SORCERERS & DRUIDS ⋅ PIRATES & SAILORS ⋅ HUNTERS & RANGERS ⋅ SUPERHEROES & VILLIANS ⋅ WARRIORS & VALKYRIES ⋅ GODS & GODDESSES

TIMING: Exact information on timing will be released closer to the event - mid to late afternoon starting around 11am
SHARED AIRBNB
Friday June 26th to Sunday June 28th
Saugerties, NY
We’re organizing a shared Airbnb for anyone who would love to make a full weekend of the event!
The house is just a 3-minute drive from the falconry location - close enough to roll out of bed, sip your coffee slowly, and arrive relaxed and on time. Staying nearby means no rushing, no long morning drives, and plenty of time to get ready comfortably. It also makes carpooling to the venue easy and stress-free. It’s a lovely way to turn the event into a little creative retreat rather than just a one-day experience.
If you’d like to lower your cost, you’re very welcome to share a bed with another attendee. You’re also welcome to bring a partner or guest to stay at the Airbnb - even if they’re not attending the shoot.
A non-refundable $100 payment will be required upfront to reserve your spot, with the remainder due 1 month before the event.
BEDROOM PRICING BREAKDOWN (in order of photos 1-4 below)
First floor - two private bedrooms with a queen-size bed and two bathrooms
Second Floor - Loft area with a small enclosed room and two queen-size beds (accessed via a spiral staircase, not completely private)
First Floor Bedroom 1 - $300
First Floor Bedroom 2 - $275
