Everybody has a Story

We decide to undertake a project for the summer when we read about another photographer in Utah (Justin Hackworth) that took pictures of different people in a one month period to expand his horizons as a photographer, he called his project “30 Strangers”. He just finished his project for the second year last week. We liked the concept of it and decided to adopt this project but with our own little spin. Our project is called "Everybody has a Story".

So, if you are interested—read on:

WYS1

So what is it all about? We want to photograph 20 different people in the month of June, one person for every week night of the week for four weeks (we decide not to shoot on weekends)—and we want to hear and know interesting stories—like “how did two people meet”, “how did you propose to your wife, or how did you get proposed to”, “what are your plans for after you graduate (not really a story yet, but it could make for an interesting story later)”, or whatever story you have in your life that is “award-winning” or has made for an interesting life.

So with that out of the way--here are rules to the project:
1) We can not know you-but perhaps maybe we met you once and we may not remember you—which in most settings would be upsetting, but in this one—hey you have a chance to get a great prize.
2) You have to e-mail us by May 20th and have an award-winning story (have we said “award-winning story” enough yet?) along with 2-3 dates you would be available.
3) You must be willing to travel to the Idaho Falls area-so go ahead and apply all you people in Blackfoot or Rexburg or Utah or wherever, if you feel like making the trip is worth it.
4) The photo session is limited to 3 people
5) You must be willing to let us share your story on our blog along with one of the pictures we took of you.
So it is that simple—so if you are interested simply e-mail us at mail@freckletonphotography.com, or call us at 208-705-7435 or 208-313-2637 if for some reason you do not have e-mail.

So what will you win? The ones we have deemed the winners will receive a photo shoot with us, along with a free 8x10 and a copy of a CD with the low resolutions file of the edited images on it—so you can post them on Facebook or your blog or whatever new and exciting website is out there, and tell everyone that you have an award-winning story.

We are excited to undertake this project and are hoping to meet some new and interesting people. So what are you waiting for—send us an e-mail or call us-you won’t want to miss out.

  3. I work with Jake M. He showed me some of your work back in December-breathtaking, I must say. Love the mother and bride shot. He told me about your promotion a few weeks ago. Are you still taking applicants or am I too late?
