Station 1: Tombstone Alley Walk
MODEL: 1 - JESSE BELL'S RIDERS
-----------------------
For this session, you and your horse will be our models in the famous alley between Fly's Photo Studio and the Sheriff's Office, featured in the movie Tombstone.
We will have you slowly walk your horse through the alley and occasionally stop to pose for portraits. Our photography staff will direct you on where to stand, when to walk, and how to position yourself and your horse to create dramatic Western images.
The goal is to capture a variety of classic cowboy portraits using the historic buildings as our backdrop.
Station 2: Photography Studio Silhouette
MODEL: JOHNNY VEGAS
-----------------------
For this session, you will pose in the doorway of Fly's Photo Studio while photographers capture your silhouette against the light outside.
We will have you stand in various positions in the doorway, creating different poses that highlight your cowboy hat, clothing, and overall Western appearance.
Our photography staff will direct you on where to stand and how to pose to create strong, recognizable silhouettes. This will be a relatively simple session with minimal movement.
Station 3: Low Key in Bank
MODEL: ROBIN WAYNE
-----------------------
For this session, you will be posing inside the Bank building while photographers create dramatic, dark and moody Western portraits.
You will spend most of this session seated while our photography staff adjusts the lighting to illuminate specific parts of your face and clothing, keeping most of the scene in shadow.
Our staff will guide you through different poses and expressions. This will be a relaxed session with very little movement required.
Station 4: Cowboy Portrait
MODEL: ED ADAMS
-----------------------
For this session, you will pose for a series of Western portraits while photographers experiment with depth of field to create a cinematic look.
We will position you in different locations, using the surrounding buildings and scenery as backgrounds. Our photography staff will guide you through various poses and make adjustments to your positioning as needed.
This will be a relatively relaxed session with minimal movement, allowing photographers to capture a variety of portraits.
4:00 PM - 4:15 PM | Break
After completing all four portrait stations, we’ll take a short break before moving on to our next photography session.
This is a good time to use the restroom, grab a drink or snack, and get ready for what’s next.
4:15 PM – 4:30 PM | Transition to Western Town
After the break, make your way to the Western Town and meet with the photography staff. Please stay with the group and wait for instructions as we get everyone into position for our next shoot.
4:30 PM – Sunset | Main Street Scene
MODELS: Jesse Bell's Team, John Babiarz, Curtis Balliew, Gary Hecksel, Lynda Kirby, Scott Martin, Bob McLaughlin, Cliff Owens, Lynn Steele, Robin Wayne
-------------------------
For this session, we will bring Main Street to life with cowboys on horseback, a wagon, and townspeople dressed in period clothing.
We will have everyone working within a designated section of Main Street, creating the look and feel of a busy Old West town.
Our riders and wagon will travel back and forth along the street while our townspeople walk along the boardwalks and through town, interacting naturally with one another.
Our photography staff will direct the action and may ask you to repeat certain movements or make adjustments to your positioning. The goal is to create a variety of natural-looking scenes that make the town feel alive and active.
