It was so much fun to work with you at AFP and I love what you've done with this instructional video.

[@ShellyJCoxArtist]

Hi Chris! Thanks so much. 🙏🏻😀🎨

[@reetse]

This is mind blowing, I had no idea these kinds of photoshoot events were a thing, please tell me how you find out about them! ❤

[@ShellyJCoxArtist]

Hi reetse. Mostly I find them by word of mouth. The 2 I have attended are American Frontier Productions in KS and in SD Jim Hatzel has Fiddlers Green Studios. Both are amazing!

[@lanaicontova5872]

How much did you have to pay the models?

[@ShellyJCoxArtist]

Hi Lanai. This is at a photo shoot put on by American Frontier Productions in Kansas. The cost of the shoot was $600 plus tipping to models usually $5-$20 per set up depending on how long or complicated the scenario is. They have a costume and props room. Plus the models come with their own horses! I’ve gone twice. Love it! Everyone is super nice 😀
