Its always so fun to help people overcome their fear of snakes. Aubrey here has fallen in love with Lilith AND Penelope now. Amanda Lea Wilson however, is still working up the nerve!

I only got a couple shots from this set (I was snake wrangling in the bo***ir bays during this portion of Shutterfest). Even with just a few snaps I was able to capture something cool. Emmy never disappoints.
