Outside photography with snakes tips?

Wadjet's family
I have a friend (semi-pro photographer) who is going to take some photos of Alli and her snakes, both for the book project and just to get some nice pictures, and she's suggested doing them outside for better backdrop choices, lighting, etc. It's in the mid/upper 70s here right now. We have an adult corn and an adult BP. I'm not too worried about the BP, but I'm a little afraid that Wadjet may well decide that being outside is a good thing and that she wants to explore.

Any suggestions??
 
She can't outrun you. But she can get to somewhere you can't get her back, like under something you can't move. Or if you set her in a tree, she can climb out of your reach. I've never had an adult cornsnake try to run away, though- they are usually really clingy if you sit on the ground with them.

Watch for birds. Don't let her get too far away from you.

To take pics of a snake posed somewhere, you can cover them up with a hide or even a clear deli, and just wait a few minutes till they stop moving. Then remove the hide and take pics before the snake "recovers" and starts moving.
