MUD PRACTICE DRILLS

One of the funniest things I've shot, the one-on-one practice drills in the mud tonight (10/6/10) gave me some great opportunities to capture some pretty interesting shots before the sun went down - much quicker than I expected. I shot nearly 1,000 frames and ended up with about 150 keepers.

Take a look. You can download a digital version in low-resolution for Facebook or to print a relatively decent 4x6 for $1.00 - remember that 20% of all sales are donated to the RYFO.

Click the tab at the top to visit the galleries. Here's a small example of what it was like for anyone who missed it...

RYFO vs Butler - Gallery Posted

After a little delay (couldn't find where I loaded the shots on my hard drive), the gallery for the games against Butler are online.

* There are no images of the RAMS - only the TIGERS and REDCATS for this day. The RAMS game was much shorter than anticipated and I was unable to shoot that game due to a conflict.

10/02/10 - RYFO vs Richland (White)

After a full day of football, all edited images from today's games are now online. There are some really great shots of how hard these kids try. Being able to see their faces inside the helmet gives you a totally different perspective of how much effort these kids are putting forth.

PRACTICE PHOTOS ONLINE (9/9/10)

Photos from the practice held on September 9, 2010 are online. The sun was perfect and quite a few look perfect. You can see their eyes and facial expressions very clearly. Click the tab at the top to visit the gallery.



* The NEXT game where action photos will be taken is on 9/18/10 when the Rams Youth Football Organization takes on Pine Richland (Green).


There will only be 2 more opportunities to have your son/daughter photographed in action. Please let me know that you would like to have action photos taken of your son or daughter. These games will take place on 9/25 & 10/9.


* 9/25/10 is also a makeup day for team and individual photos. If you need to have your picture taken, or would simple like additional pictures taken to be placed for online ordering... this is the final day. 


IF YOU DO NOT LET ME KNOW THAT YOU WANT ACTION GAME PHOTOS TAKEN, I COULD VERY EASILY MISS THEM IF THEY ARE NOT INVOLVED IN MANY PLAYS. IF I KNOW AHEAD OF TIME, I CAN SETUP TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE CAPTURED IN GAME ACTION.


*"FatHead" Deadline...


The deadline for ordering your FATHEAD removable vinyl wall decal is prior to the game on 10/9/10. I must have your order and monies paid before kickoff. This gives me ONE LAST opportunity to ensure that I have a quality image from which to choose.


Have a favorite action photo that has already been taken? No problem. You're all set!


They come is various sizes. The most common size is 5-feet tall. Please look at the previous blog entry below so you are aware of the sizes and prices.


* REMEMBER, A LARGE PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT THE RYFO. GET GREAT MEMORIES IN POSTERS, FATHEADS AND PRINTS WHILE HELPING THE RYFO GET LARGER.

FATHEADS NOW AVAILABLE!

FATHEADS NOW AVAILABLE!

If you have an action photo or posed picture that you would like to have turned into a removable vinyl wall graphic almost identical to the FATHEADS you see of NFL PLAYERS, contact me at jason@heffran.com and let's talk.

It only takes about a week to arrive and if you DON'T have an image you would like to use, I can take one "semi-action-posed" before a game and if I don't capture an actual game image that you like better... we can just use that photo and get you a FATHEAD ordered.

Here's an example of what it looks like once placed on the wall...

With about four (4) games left in the season, now's the time to place an order. As always, proceeds benefit the RYFO.

Images are On Their Way!

All photo packages and gift orders (buttons, posters, etc) have been finalized and should be on their way shortly.


If you have any questions, please let me know.

IMPORTANT!

There were some of you who placed orders and accidentally failed to include the $4.95 shipping fee. You can read an earlier post that explains that fee.

YOUR PHOTOS WILL STILL BE ORDERED! But you will need to bring $4.95 with you when you pick them up. You will be notified of the date. Cash or check.

Next year, I'll just include the fee as part of the package.

Also, a few of the orders failed to write their team name and/or player number. We'll get that straightened out before the orders are placed. We rushed to beat the rain and to get everyone through in order to allow the players time to warm up. In doing this, we couldn't possibly sign everyone in as usual.

That's it. Any questions, please ask.

Photo Day - Photos Online PLUS GAME ACTION SHOTS

Team and Individual photos are online for viewing. Click the tab above, or here to go the RYFO galleries.

* GAME ACTION PHOTOS are online for the REDCATS game and the TIGERS game. I was unable to stay for the RAMS game, but I will be at the next home game to capture some more shots. These were sandwiched in between the team photos and individual photos being taken.

Spread the word.

Team Photos - Update

UPDATE: The team and individual photos taken this past Saturday should be (barring any unforeseen delays) fully edited and sent out for printing by the end of the week. From the time they are sent to print, you can expect to have the photos delivered to the address you put on the form within a maximum of 7-10 days. So, I would think to expect the photos within the next two weeks.

If you have a problem with the photos being mailed to the address you have on the form, please email me at jason@heffran.com and explain the circumstance. I will be more than happy to have the photos shipped to me and then get them to you via personal delivery or through a league coach/official.

There are some orders where the team name or jersey number was not included on the form. These may be delayed since I have to contact the coaches or you, the parent, to see what team your son plays for or what his uniform number may be. In the case of cheerleaders, I will need to ask the cheerleading coaches to identify each girl.


Also, about fifteen (15) orders did NOT include the $4.95 fee for shipping and handling that was on the form. This time, I will simple have all of these orders shipped to me and hand them over to the league for distribution. In the future, these orders will be held until the correct amount is collected. Understand that in both of these cases, your photos may be delayed as I gather up the information.


Thank you to all who purchased photo packages - you raised a significant amount of money for the league. I also would like to thank the people who helped the day move along more easily. I don't need to mention their names, they know who they are. I truly appreciated the assistance.

Again, if you have any questions, please email me at jason@heffran.com. Email is the quickest way to get my attention and I can more thoroughly answer your question.

Team & Individual Picture Day

REMINDER: Saturday, August 21st is Team & Individual Picture Day. Please arrive two hours before game time (unless you've been notified otherwise) so that we can quickly and methodically proceed with getting your photo taken.

Please remind your son/daughter to not get their uniform dirty prior to the photos being taken. I know kids can be excited, especially with the first game at Golden Rams Stadium.


Remember to have your order form completed fully. I must have your name, address & uniform number written on the lower right section of the form. Your photos will be delivered to your home within 7-10 days. Gone are the days of having to pick up your pictures or giving the league officials the responsibility of passing out packets.


Team and Individual photos will also be posted in a gallery that you will access via this website. This is in case you decide you would like to order more photos, picture buttons, coasters, basically anything you could imagine at a later date.

This gallery will be posted within 96 hours of the day in which the photos are taken.

RAIN/MAKEUP DAY FOR PHOTOS IS THE 28th. 


* I received a question on what the $4.95 fee was for "Shipping & Handling" from a couple of people. 


I don't use any local printing company (quality is nowhere near the lab I use), nor do I print my photos "in house". What I have done is partnered with a firm in California who will double check each image to ensure that the colors are correctly balanced, etc. This extra service is extremely valuable and gives you a much nicer better product in the end - just ask someone who has ordered from me, they'll tell you that the image colors really jump off the page.


That fee is for Priority Mail service to your home. You will NOT have to pick up your photos now or at anytime in the future.


I have priced the league photos (packages & individual prints) at a price much lower than other photographers. Instead of simple adding $5 to each package, I left it that way so you would see that the photos were being delivered directly to you at the address you put on the order form.


I apologize for any confusion this caused. Have any further questions? Just contact me and I'll be more than happy to answer them.

Welcome - RYFO Official Photo Gallery

- Sponsored by Heffran Sports Imaging (Official Photograper of the Rams Youth Football Organization - RYFO).

You have reached the central location for all photos taken in conjunction with the RYFO. Starting with Team & Individual Photos today, you may visit this website for updated information on any information regarding the following:


- Times & Places for Photography Events (games that will be covered with ACTION SHOTS will be listed here)


- New Photo Galleries: After any photography event (Team & Individual, Game Action, etc), you will find any pertinent information regarding the new galleries.

If you have any questions, or a special request for a photo to be taken at a game, etc. Please don't hesitate to contact me via email (jason @heffran.com) or by telephone (724-895-3387 or 724-602-8042). I'll be happy to provide you with information.

Example: You want a specific photo taken of your son/daughter during a game and it hasn't been taken already in the normal course of game coverage.


Example: You are interested in obtaining a "Fathead" removable vinyl wall graphic of your son/daughter. If a usable image has not already been taken, we can schedule a time to get this accomplished.


Example: You are confused about an order form, your order was incorrect (hopefully not) or you have a general question related to any photography throughout the year.


I hope this centralized website will provide simple access to the images captured of your son/daughter in action this season. I am proud to be affiliated with an organization such as the RYFO and am donating 20% of all sales to the league in hopes that it will be a benefit. So, when you purchase photos or other photography-related items (buttons, Fatheads, etc),  know that you are helping the league.
