Photo Sessions
We have photographers contact us year-round for photography sessions. Due to our busy travel schedule as well as the kids' schedules, we cannot always accomodate the dates requested.
If you have a favorite photographer, have them reach out to me to see if there is a date that would work.
There is a requirement of 8 minumum mini sessions (20 minutes max) and 40$ per mini session will go towards use of the calves. Photographer will collect the 40$ with their portion of the cost and pay at the end of the sessions. Non refundable deposit of at least $20 required to sign up for sessions and the photographer and Anderson Ranch minis will share the deposit if someone no-shows.
Private sessions are also always an option. You will need to coordinate the photographer and their pricing is between you and them and depending on what you have in mind as far as use of animals, prices will vary. Heather will be happy to give you a quote!
