Let's do this one more time. I thing this is our 7th year. I have a lot of people that have been coming since the beginning and they think we can build it back up again. I need to rent the 6 cabins to make it work. $160 tax included for the weekend, up to 4 nights.[ normally 2 nights is $169- $237]

The official shoot is Sat. from 9 am till 6 pm but over the years it has grown to the whole weekend. Feel free to bring tents and campers and stay and shoot all weekend. Hopefully all 6 cabins will be rented. 2 are already rented to photographers.
We are in the middle of the Hocking Hills. It is one of the most beautiful natural area in the united states. It is worth the trip just to see this.

45 acres of forest. Hundreds of backgrounds. Plenty of places to shoot, even if it rains. 3 porch swings, deck furniture, barn scene under shelter house. Hocking hills parks within a few miles in any direction.

$25 for everyone. If a photographer wants to pay for a model, it may help more attend. My fixed cost to run this is around $450 and that is with Sharon and Jane working 3 days each. Continental breakfast , lunch, and drinks provided

The event is 18+ You don't have to shoot 18+ but some people do so people under 18 should not be here.

THE EVENT IS INVITE ONLY. IF i OR ONE OF MY INVITED PEOPLE DO NOT ASK YOU, YOU CANNOT ATTEND. ANY QUESTIONS, CONTACT ME. JIM

As usual, set up a schedule and start making posts to let people know you are coming.

I am definitely going to make it to this one but I'm not going to set up a schedule.  I'm still having a lot of issues with my feet and fatigue.  Docs can't really do anything for me. Only thing that could help is increasing meds but can't do that because current doses are already effecting liver and kidneys..  But I'll take that over the cancer any day!  Thankfully still cancer free!

At any rate, missing my Hocking Hills group shoot family and if nothing else I'm looking forward to hanging out on the porch and seeing everyone again!

I will bring my gear for anyone who wants to do a quickie shoot here or there, in between sessions, do a short lunch and quick shoot, or whatever.  I'm just not going to be able to do full sessions or back to back shooting.  Gonna have to rest between any shooting.

If anyone is interested, shoot me a private message and we can work up concepts.  I've been thinking about doing some fantasy type shoots at some point when I'm able to start shooting again. If you have elf, fairy, medieval, Lord of the Rings, Dragonlance, or similar styles of gamer cosplay type stuff let me know. I'm currently working on building a couple of video games (as the brain power lets me work on them) where that style will fit in with.  But willing to shoot whatever you need for your portfolio if we can come up with a plan based around 15-20 minute shoot times. smile

Can't wait to see everyone. Here's to hoping we have wonderful weather and wonderful fall colors!  AND... An awesome turnout! smile

Please add me to the list.  Looking forward to it.  In order to promote the event, I think we should challenge each photographer to sponsor at least (1) or (2) models.

Sounds good.  Always fun shooting with you.  I think those head shots we did last summer might have been the last time I shot. lol

Dan and the girls going to make it out to this one?

And yeah, I'm excited too.  Looking forward to see friends from past shoots and meet some of the new people who have started coming since I was last down there. smile

I sent out a Facebook post to my models list last night and you are on that list.  Jim sent me a message personally inviting me, so you should be covered as far as invitation (unless you have been banned from the shoots for some reason).

Jim will have to answer regarding payments though.  I thought he had moved to a pay in advance deal to attempt a lower amount of no shows.

Would anyone be interested in shooting with Sirena Wren MM# 3666239 If I have her at the group shoot. She is a paid model and will come for $200 for the 2 days.

Let me know or contact her and arrange shoots individually.


Amelia Simone is also talking about coming back. She was here 2 years ago. She is also a paid model. She is my pic of the day. Click on it and you can get her contact info. Feel free to contact her. If you make it worth the trip, she will come.

We all need to invite people we know will act right and show up. I sent to everyone I know that I have worked with.

Photographers especially need to invite models. I only invited 4. I have not been shooting in a while and my contact list is getting smaller.

My list I invited consisted of 28.  Although Jami and Tiffany already said they were coming here in the thread and Amanda (babygurl) has posted.  Alii and Arielle are also in that list, so I assume if they are coming Jami probably already let you know.

I talked to Cat Ferrel last night and she is checking to see if her work schedule is open and make sure she doesn't already have plans. So she was a maybe.  But she also said she didn't get the post I sent to my models list on Facebook.  So it looks like Facebook's thinking they know what we want to see from the people we follow and filtering shit strikes again.

I also contacted Jesika Priser and Jessica Evelyn Handa and they are both maybes.  I gave them all links to my post they were supposed to get which explained if they wanted to come to post here and make arrangements to get payment to you.  I'll work through some more of my list this evening to verify people got my post and feel out whether they think they will come.

Sorry I havn't been on here for a few days. My internet has been out 5 days.

Again, ken Adams is bringing a wonderful model with him to our shoot. If we would all do this, this could be an awesome event.
Each photographer bring one model. If they need a place to stay, I will take care of that and feed them.

It is just an idea???

It looks like I will have 2 or 3 models coming down for this photo shoot. Just waiting on confirmations. I will post their schedules in a day or two. The confirmed model does not have MM. Margaret is coming, take a look at here schedule that I posted. Also I had contacted Jessica Handa and she said she is coming for sure and will post a schedule asap. The third model could not free up her time. I'll keep trying.

Just looked it up and  October 1st is an OSU home game and we have season tickets.
Dan for sure, can't go to the shoot, but my brother may be taking my ticket, but it may be last minute for me to know.

We hadn't checked the football schedule until this week with the first game this weekend.

I won't book any slots at all, just in case.

If I can make it, I'll fill in photog empty slots, if they'd like...or....just relax with the veterans of this wonderful group shoot.

What do you mean IF you can make it?  Do I need to drive to Columbus and drag you down there kicking and screaming?!?  :p

You can't not come when I'm gonna be there kiddo..  :p  Sounds like perfect time for girl's weekend for you, Alii, and Arielle! :p

Hope you can make it..  Won't be the same without my adopted sis there... :p

I will be bringing model "Margaret' with me to the fall shoot. She will be there Friday after 4 PM through Sunday until NOON. She is looking for someone interested in doing a bit of a horror shot with a wedding dress that she has. Just  message me for details. She does not have a MM or FB page due to family issues.
Margaret is willing to do most genres, cosplay, fashion, glamour, nude, light fetish and some halloween fun. She is very athletic and loves climb or to hang from just about anything.
