I believe in stretching yourself to such a limit that all the rest of the time everything’s a cake walk.
See how far you can go. I found out I can do 48 shoots in one week.
All fine until I’ve almost went crazy sorting them all then editing 3000 pictures in the last 3-4 days.
This is a long and yet very fun post… like 48 mini-posts all wrapped up into one.
we are taking pre-bookings for those that participated in my survey last week.
And my interns have a days head-start to invite their friends to the shoots for the days they’re in charge of.
There should be plenty of spots available up to 60 canyon spots and more than enough Studio time.
I will help with scheduling but I am not in charge of scheduling.
If you send the email it will get to the right place… maybe even doing a comment on the post will work… but no guarantee.
To double check you are official make sure your name is on the online calender.
The schedule is now set
Every day mon-friday 10am-1:30pm = Studio shoots in North Lehi
CANYONS = Fall Colors
Monday 3-7pm = Little Cottonwood canyon
White pine trailhead parking lot – it’s 5.5 miles into the canyon -.5 miles before snowbird
Hard to believe this is the 3rd year of my yearly tradition of shooting pictures for FREE
But I’m excited to do it again and have some new changes to spice it up a ton!
I’m going back to my roots like the first year and doing a Fall Colors theme.
Last year I did a week long of studio shoots and I’ll also offer that during the week as well.
So here’s the deal for those who don’t know.
I do quick shoots all week long for FREE … which for no financial gain on my part.
My way of saying thanks to my friends. Thus the charitable part.
The Charity
But last year I started a new tradition of taking donations which were given to a charitable organization.
The organization will be FFHE (Family to Family Humanitarian Expeditions)
It does a lot of great work in Mexico for families in need and also affects the lives of those that go on the expeditions
I also end up donating a week to shoot for this organization in Mexico.
Here’s some pics from the expedition from last year.
i will note that some of the cost will go towards some equipment needed for the shoots
Survey
In any case… this post is to announce that the event will be held from Oct 5th to the 10th
We are not scheduling quite yet but you can help to give us get that together.
The theme is FALL COLORS + Studio
Which canyon would you prefer (we’ll do all of them just need to see demand)
Provo (Sundance) Canyon
American Fork Canyon
Little Cottonwood Canyon
Big Cottonwood Canyon
Other Canyon
Studio
Which Day
Monday through Saturday
What time
10-2 (Studio) or 3-7 (Canyon)
Minimum donation
I’ve found over the years that those paying nothing do not seem to appreciate the offer
Plus it goes to a good cause.
So would everyone be willing to donate a minimum of $30
This is not only a charity for a good cause this is a charity for YOU so I don’t want to exclude those that can’t.
So the questions are is $30 acceptable and secondly what would a short shoot be worth Donating for you?
FAQ
I will do another post when i get a few minutes and announce how to sign up for a shoot spot.
They will fill up fast and I will let those doing the survey get first choice
Send survey to accounts@jarviedigital.com or just respond here.
I will also post pictures of previous years.
One quick note is that I won’t be doing any wedding shoots for Free and the time periods will be somewhat limited to fit everyone in.
Last years many people showed up to do family shoots, roommate pictures, individual shoots, model pictures,
BE Creative!! I wan’t this to be fun… it’s your chance to do shoots you wouldn’t have done if you had to pay $500 to get done.
These two got engaged at this park which is next to Bridal Veil falls.
Not necisarily this spot exactly, thought that would have been fun to have seen.
At the end of the night we went to vivian park.
It was already a bit late so we just did a few here.
This is probably the first time I’ve taken pictures with bridal veil falls in the picture.
There are only certain parts of the falls I really like, so it’s hard to take pictures of. But at night it becomes a lot easier because all you see is the whiteness of the water on a dark background, haha
Engagements
They liked the first set I did so much they wanted more. And she was sick for the first one so she wanted some while she was feeling better.
She also figured since I was doing a book for their reception and she was making a slideshow that some extra pictures for it all would be nice.
I think it went quite well
Thanks to Allyson for assisting on this photo shoot.
Bridals
The next day we went to thanksgiving point and took pictures for her bridals.
I get to post them because I know he’s seen her in the dress… because he came along.
I’d like to thank Dawnee who assisted on this photo shoot.
Thanksgiving point has lots of spots all over the park it always makes sense to get a golf cart and be nice to the people at the desk so they can let you stay after the front desk is already closed so you can get great lighting.
We kinda went overboard this evening and took Tons of pictures… but she loves them a ton so I suppose it works.
In a search for more colorful photos,
and because I enjoyed their presence so much on the previous occasion,
we went out in search of some more bridal pictures.
(The lighting was horrid and yet we found a couple of nice spots and some fun pictures.)
Their wedding is December 27th, we did bridal pictures (and pre-wedding couples pictures)
We went to the same canyon that i did the other 15 photo shoots last month…
Well the leaves have all fallen but it seems that even so it just makes things a little more challenging…
and that makes it fun.
Props to the couple, her sister and cousin for staying out in the cold for a couple of hours and helping misty maneuver in her dress in the middle of a forest.
No matter how much you play with the pictures afterwards the pictures still retain the unique colors and lighting of the time of day/place and season that you took them.
