To respect the birds' limited handling time, sessions will be kept brief, but we will ensure each model gets ample time to capture the desired shots. Photo sessions are for individual models unless a group session has been arranged in advance.

Models will receive a minimum of three professionally edited photos per session. While three photos per session is the minimum, our photographers will strive to provide as many high-quality images as possible. Additionally, our team will be capturing high quality behind-the-scenes photos and video footage. We will have an additional photographer available to shoot models between their sessions (without a bird) to ensure you get as much camera time as possible.

Within two months after the shoot date a gallery will be shared with all edited photos and videos. All team members will be given social tags and encouraged to credit when posting.
