Let’s be real—if you’re thinking about booking a live snake for a photo shoot or music video, you’re already someone with incredible taste. Nothing turns heads quite like a stunning serpent draped effortlessly over your shoulders or coiling through a dramatic pose. But before you dive in, let’s talk about what actually goes on behind the scenes when you book a pro snake dancer like Barefoot Daisy for your shoot. Spoiler alert: snakes are total divas, and working with them is nothing like handling a prop. Why Book a Snake? Three words: Bold Statement Piece! 📸 Photoshoots – Great for editorials, luxury, high-fashion… Snakes bring that extra touch of power and mystique. 🎥 Music Videos – Want your visuals to scream iconic? Working with a live snake is worth the impact of the artistic outcome. 🎂 Quinceañera & Sweet Sixteen Shoots – Representing growth, transformation, and stepping into your next era like a total goddess. 🐍 Sessions with Your Own Snake – Because you and your snake deserve pro-level posing guidance. The Reality of Working with a Snake (AKA, the Star of the Show) 1. The Snake Decides If They’re Feeling It Listen, snakes have moods, just like people (but with fewer opinions about the catering table). If they’re shedding, digesting, or just not in the vibe, we adjust accordingly. That’s why flexibility is key—a comfortable snake means better shots and smooth movement. 2. Extra Time is Your Best Friend Unlike human models, snakes don’t exactly follow pose directions. Need a stunning coil around your arm? They’ll get there when they feel like it. Give yourself some wiggle room in your schedule to capture the best natural moments. 3. Handling & Safety First Whether it’s your first time touching a snake or you’re a total reptile pro, Barefoot Daisy will coach you through the best ways to move, pose, and handle the snake gracefully. Expect to learn a few tricks along the way—because yes, even snakes have their best angles. 4. Not Every Snake is a Meet-and-Greet Type Some snakes love the camera but hate the post-shoot social scene. If your session includes guest interactions, an extra social butterfly (or should we say, social snake?) may be brought along just for that. My Rates & Booking Info (Because We Know You Want the Details) 🐍 $500 – 1 Hour Photo Shoot ➕ $250 Each Additional Hour 🎥 $750 – 4 Hours Music Video ➕ $250 Each Additional Hour Important Stuff to Know: ✔ Trained & insured fire safety person included for any fire elements. ✔ Permit fees are paid by the hiring agency, but all paperwork is handled for you. ✔ Costumes must be pre-approved—snakes don’t do itchy fabrics or tangled sequins. ✔ Not all themes are the right fit—Barefoot Daisy keeps performances elegant, mystical, and artistic. Special Sessions: Quinceañeras, Sweet Sixteens & Posing with Your Own Snake ✨ Quinceañera & Sweet Sixteen Shoots Snakes are a symbol of transformation, making them a perfect choice for milestone birthday shoots. It’s like shedding your old self and stepping into a new, powerful era—but with way cooler photos. 🐍 Sessions with Your Own Snake Have your own snake but unsure how to pose with them? Book a private coaching session where Barefoot Daisy will show you how to move, pose, and create stunning, natural moments with your reptilian bestie. Ready to Book? Let’s Make Magic Happen.
