The beautiful Alexa was lucky enough to receive a stellar 16th birthday present from her parents, a four hour photo-session with on-set professional styling. So how much can we accomplish in just over 4 short hours? Here is your answer.

When hairstylist and Logics Artistic Director Chrystofer Benson told me he would be styling a show with Rachael Domingo’s custom designs I couldn’t help but be intrigued. Shot at the Radisson in downtown Salt Lake City. When my assistant (Anna) and I arrived they took us to the suites they had booked for a possible shooting location, immediately I decided they wouldn’t work at all. They were big, beautiful rooms, but not quite anything close to what needed to be done.
So, we went exploring. We wandered all over the hotel, including in places I’m pretty certain we weren’t supposed to be in… did you know they have a giant room dedicated to storing table linens in a rainbow of colors?
Finally, I found the spot. A stones throw away from the front desk near the entrance to the coffee shop. We’d only have to move a couple tables and create a little bit of commotion but hey, what fun is a photoshoot without a commotion?
I talked to a few people in charge and got as close to official permission possible and then, the shoot was on! To all you folks in the lobby, I hope you enjoyed the shoot as much as I did!

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Hey, I wonder what it would be like to see 5 years of Jake Garn’s work in one sitting.” Well you’re in luck.
I upload about 70% of my finished images to deviantART. This little slideshow will actually go through all 1,000+ images shot over the last 6 years or so. If you don’t have that kind of time you can jump over to http://jakegarn.deviantart.com/ and glance through my extensive gallery of past work.
PS – Don’t pay too much attention to the titles of these images, the site requires a title for EVERY image so they are usually 100% arbitrary. Also, a slideshow without the titles is viewable on Jake Garn’s deviantART page.
I was meeting with Emily (the owner of the Hive Gallery) about a fashion photography show later this year and she mentioned that she was doing a show about cakes but she didn’t have anything to put on the walls. Let’s just say I had some ideas. Come check it out on opening night, details below!

“There is an afghan sitting on my couch and we are taking several precautions in case it’s a suicide bomber, even though it’s made of yarn.”
I rarely stereotype people in regular life, but in joke-life funny stereotypes are a definite guilty pleasure. But I promise I love all people regardless of religion, or ethnicity or even if they choose to drink Pepsi. Fine. We’re different and that’s ok, in fact it’s awesome. But if you are a Jay Leno fan then you should be ashamed of yourselves. I cannot respect you until you re-think your life… I have to draw the line somewhere.
I say that disclaimer because jokes (like the top one) were said throughout the night whilst shooting afghans and models and they were hilarious! How can you not expect hilarity to ensue when we show up to a shoot with no other plan than to somehow make the girls wear blankets made by relatives from four generations ago… bless their souls. Sorry about throwing the idea out there about cutting your blankets up Grandma Dahlberg.
I still think it would have been a cool idea though, but I do have to admit, even without the cutting I’m pretty dang excited about the results!
