MEET AND GREETS


Picture
Meet and Greets were created so that people can interact with an ambassador in a controlled setting and have some photos taken with them, which is not allowed at public events.
*These appointments are NOT for large groups. 5 individuals max.

1-2 people: $100
4 people: $200
To add one extra person is $35
*Ambassador Wolves: ages 10+ Foxes: ages 18+ (this is not negotiable)

Payment must be sent in full in order to be added to our calendar. 

Meet and greets are a great and fun way to learn more about our animals in an informal setting. 
Meet and Greets are only available on Thursdays and Fridays.
​No need to bring your own camera! 4-6 candid photos are included in these appointments.
​Cell phone pictures are permitted.
*Learn about Meet and Greets and see more photo examples here

Meet and Greets last about 30 minutes and are held at:
Big Run Park- 4201 Clime Rd Columbus, OH 43228

​*Please be sure to arrive on time! If you are more than 15 minutes late, your deposit will be forfeited and we move onto the next appointment.


​PRIVATE PHOTOSHOOTS


​A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to be added to our calendar. Travel fees must be paid in full at time of deposit. All animals are kept on chain leads or long lines for their safety (and to comply with Ohio leash laws). They are easily removed via post processing. ​Models may not hold the leads. Ambassador wolves and foxes cannot be mixed together for any shoots, but depending on your shooting location we can switch out animal species in between sets for an additional fee. We never promise which color animals will be brought, as it not only has to do with what animal will handle the situation best, but also to prevent certain animals from being overworked. We do have age restrictions for who can interact with the animals. Ambassador Wolves: ages 10+ Foxes: ages 18+ this is for not only your comfort and safety but for the animals as well, and it is not negotiable!

Photographer Portrait Packages

Are you a photographer wanting to offer portrait packages to your clients that include our animals? We have set a pricing structure for these type of bookings:

When you are booking portrait sessions, we are normally on location for an hour or two and several clients will get photographed back to back. We prefer that you have at least 2-4 clients/sets per booked date. Typical is 3-4 clients on a given day with shooting time 20-30 mins/person. All animals are kept on thin long leads for their safety (and to comply with Ohio leash laws). They are easily removed via post processing. Models may not hold the leads. Ambassador wolves and foxes cannot be mixed together for any shoots, but depending on your shooting location we can switch out animal species in between sets for an additional fee. We never promise which color animals will be brought, as it not only has to do with what animal will handle the situation best, but also to prevent certain animals from being overworked. Pricing is pretty simple. It is per person/set. We can bring one or two animals depending on what your clients want. If you have a client booking multiple sets with the animals on a given day, they will need to be charged per set and not just once. You'll just add our fee on top of your own pricing:  

Portrait Packages
One animal: $125/person (or set)
Two animals $175/person (or set)

Travel Fees
$50/hour (round trip- not one way)
*Travel must be paid in full before your scheduled date

Please be sure to contact us when you are looking to book clients so we can be sure what dates we have available in our schedule. Dates will not be held without payment/deposits. 
If one of your clients needs to reschedule, let us know ASAP so we can check what we have available in our calendar. Please include names so we can keep track of who has paid. 
​We do have age restrictions with the animals. Ambassador 
Wolves: ages 10+ Foxes: ages 18+ this is not negotiable!

Host a Photography Workshop

Would you like to host a workshop event for your own clients or group? We have now added pricing options for this due to several requests. 

We bring two animals of one species and stay for a two hour shooting time period. As far as location, we recommend using Proparazzi LLC, but depending on the location you choose we may be able to travel. Pricing starts at $1,500 and we like no more than 20-25 individuals present. Please contact us for more details, as every event is different and pricing can vary.

PHOTOSHOOT LOCATION OPTIONS


If you do not want travel fees added to your session, you may choose from the following locations for your shoot.
(
We are available to travel to most locations for an additional fee of $50/hr round trip)

Wagtail Dog Trail


2914 Georgesville-Wrightsville Rd, Grove City, OH 43123

​It's easy to see why Wagtail is our favorite spot- it has a little bit of everything. 
A roughly 10-15 minute walk through tall grasses takes you back to the woods with winding trails and plenty of fallen logs for posing on. The trail ends at a large hollow sycamore tree, and right behind it is a creek that opens up to a river.

Big Run Park


 4201 Clime Rd Columbus, OH 43228

Located near 270, Big Run Park is commonly chosen for its convenience as it involves the least amount of walking. The area by the parking lot makes this location seem pretty plain and simple, but once you enter the trail through the woods you'll see it has more to offer. There are several stone staircases, large fallen logs, a small bridge, and a creek.
​

​-Greenlawn Cemetery: 1000 Greenlawn Ave, Columbus, OH 43223
(Greenlawn is a historic cemetery. Many large mausoleums, a metal bridge, rolling hills and mature trees.)



*For an additional fee, we also have access to an 1860's farm in Thornville, OH with a barn and farmhouse full of antiques, plus 8 beautiful acres of hills, a creek and mature trees. Pricing varies.
​This unique location is Proparazzi, LLC and is located at 
3851 Lancaster-Thornville Rd. NE, Lancaster, Ohio 43130

**All photoshoot bookings: We understand that family members of clients often attend shoots to get a chance to see the animal(s). Often times they bring their own professional equipment and shoot their own images from over a photographers shoulder. We are no longer allowing this. Clients taking photographs and/or recording sessions are not permitted. Cell phone/selfie pictures are fine after we are finished for the day. Pets are NOT permitted at any bookings, so please leave them at home. 

In order to respect not only our animals but also other cultures, we are no longer allowing models to wear Native American costuming, or anything Little Red Riding Hood.

Please refrain from wearing any animal products (fur, bone, etc). The animals will think it's a toy! We also will not shoot any concepts in which the animals are portrayed in a negative manner. 

Cancelation/Rescheduling Policy:

Deposits for shoots or payments for event bookings are non-refundable. We hold all events rain or shine, unless there is a thunderstorm. If you need to reschedule your appointment, you must do so at least 24 hours beforehand so that you do not lose your deposit. From there, you will have two options: choose a new date further out into our schedule, or we can issue a non-expiring gift certificate that can be used whenever you are ready to book with us. Feel free to contact us with any questions regarding this!
