Little Outdoor Giants’ mission is to create unique, curated, and authentic lifestyle imagery and motion that is hinged on a desire to live an aesthetic life and tell beautifully stylized stories. We work with both traditional talent as well as shooting with real people and influencers in real situations. We would love to help tell the story of spring time fun in Maine and the amazing experiences kids and families can have there. We have the experience and the creativity to help tell these stories, from directing motion and short doc-style profiles to providing a library of stills & motion Hero & B-roll imagery, and the production experience to make it all happen smoothly, remotely, covid-safely, on budget, and all the while having a blast for everyone involved.
Thank you for considering us for Eddie Bauer’s Kids shoot in Maine. We hope you enjoy this work and look forward to making magic together.

About LOG
How We Do:
Dom & Jarrod both came to LOG as independent shooters. This means we both shoot stills, we both shoot motion, we both direct and on some productions, we do this all at the same time. We pride ourselves on being able to double down on the same skillset, providing more content in less time for our clients than a typical production.
We know what our clients need these days, EVERYTHING. While one of us is directing and shooting a Hero Image that the art director was looking for, the other is off to the side getting a completely candid lifestyle moment of the same scene, or if there’s multiple talent, one of us will breakaway from the main shot and create a simple environmental portrait in stills and in motion of key talent. We’re flexible and fluid on set, capturing tons of content for our clients library needs, all with the eye of a trained and passionate photographer, but Doubled.
Things we love:
Lifestyle moments, made authentically
Big, beautiful, natural looking light (even when the weather don’t call for it)
Lots of imagery, 10,000+ still shots / day typically for library shoots
Being creative with art direction (LOG works well with teams)
Happy clients
“Winter Active” for LLBean
Little Outdoor Giants have exclusively shot LLBean’s “Kids Winter Active Campaign” for the past 4 years. We’ve been lucky enough to see this work online, in store, in catalog, and on the cover of LLBean’s coveted holidays and winter catalogs, as well as in OOH print campaigns and billboard size in-store signage.
“From the moment I met them, we connected on a creative level that is hard to come by. Not only are these two photography masters they are by far two of the nicest guys in the industry that I have had the privilege of working with.
Being an outdoor brand, it is essential to find photographers who genuinely embrace the outdoors. The Little Outdoor Giants are those guys. They seamlessly capture authentic and beautiful outdoor moments we are always striving for at L.L.Bean. They are collaborative, creative, energetic, passionate, and all-around incredible human beings.”

“Where to even begin? These guys have a true passion for their work. When they’re on your project, they’re ALL IN!
Upfront, they take the time to understand your brand and what you’re trying to accomplish. They brainstorm with you. To say they’re collaborative is an understatement.
They take tech and organization seriously. Whether you’re standing on a mountaintop, chilling next to a campfire, or setting up in studio; the light’s gonna be beautiful.
Once you’re shooting, LOGs bring your ideas to life. The guys work seamlessly together. But even better, the whole crew feels like family — just having fun and taking pictures. The emotion is real, so your images are authentic, believable, and connect with your audience. At the end of the day, I’m always exhausted because it was so much fun and I literally can’t stop smiling.Post shoot, the guys take the time to follow up. Are you happy? Is there anything we could have done better? How can we make your post production process easier? You might even get a handwritten postcard.
Bottom line, they really care, and that means everything”
Thanks for taking a look!
