CREATIVES, LISTEN UP.
Welcome to Fireside
Fireside is a virtual tri-annual event hosted by Dawn Jarvis created for the purpose of bringing stand out creatives together to learn, grow, and take practical steps toward creating the photography business of their dreams.
Join me, Dawn Jarvis, along with Miles Leavitt and Layni Becker as we share our biggest tips, tricks, and secrets for stepping into a cinematic photography style, while answering your top questions.
This might be the event for you if…
- You want to understand cinematic composition and film-inspired editing—from how cropping can transform your art, to the impact of lighting and color theory, all influenced by the power of film.
- You want to know what pre-work goes into becoming a cinematic photographer like finding inspiration, incorporating it into your current style, and where to gather cinematic inspiration from.
- You want to feel fully confident in understanding the elements of cinema and how to direct your clients to achieve cinematic images.
It’s time to finally learn how you can practically evolve your work into a cinematic shooting style.
What’s the vibe of Fireside Chats?
Let me lay it out for you — All of us grab a cup of coffee, open our laptops, click join on the fireside event, turn our cameras on and *actually* have a conversation about whatever topic we’re talking about. Each Fireside guest will give a 30-minute talk, and of course we want to hear from you which is why we save time for a full 30 minutes for Q+A at the end of each Fireside Chat. You can assume this Fireside Chat will last up to 3 hours (because we don’t like for questions to go unanswered). This isn’t your typical zoom call where everyone mutes themselves – this is collaboration, this is education and this is the community we’ve all been after.
FIRESIDE – where culture and community meet
We bring together diverse, eclectic photographers from different backgrounds, locations, values, editing styles, and more to give you a kick-ass conversation and experience.
It’s time to get an event on the calendar where you can learn from photographers who are moving and shaking in the industry, and connect with the creative energy you need to light a spark in your business.
Gather around the fireside – it’s time to chat about how you can practically capture cinematic images as they naturally unfold at your sessions.
Here’s what you can expect to walk away with after learning from these kick-ass photographers.

Hey, I’m Miles! I’m a passionate creative specializing in cinema-style photo, video and Super 8, with a style deeply inspired by the feeling of nostalgia.

Layni Becker
Hi everyone!!! I’m Layni! I am so incredibly pumped to be here and to be talking about cinematic imagery. I am deeply obsessed with movies and the way that they make me feel. Movies can make me go from happy to sad in seconds - I want to portray that kind of emotion with my photos. I want people to FEEL when they see my work. I want people to feel inspired. I want people to feel joy. I want people to feel maybe even sad at times, reminding them of a time in their life. Anyway, I am so excited to talk about my passion for cinema with you all!!
