A Spring Day at the Park with Expired 35mm.

I love film. There is nothing like it. It's so exciting all the time. I love the lack of control compared to what we're used to today. There's always a slight uncertainty. Especially when you are using expired film. You also can't just take hundreds of pictures like you can with digital. You really do have to wait for the moment. I LOVE it!  

This past weekend, in celebration of the warm Spring weather, our little co-op family went to the park with mason jars of wine and beers to eat Polish sausages. I brought along my Pentax K1000 and 2 rolls of expired 35mm film to photograph our children as they played. The photos are perfect.

If you are interested in a photoshoot shot with 35mm, or 120 film…or BOTH, just contact me! 

An Impromptu Laundry Day Photoshoot

When you see photos of Adelaide and Audrey, they are usually not dressed their best. Heck, sometimes they aren't dressed at all!! It's because most of the time I grab my camera on a whim, with no plans but to document them being them! 

They haven't realized that chores aren't fun yet, so being laundry day, they were THRILLED! They pretty much do their own laundry now. Adelaide talks about when she's 4 and how she will be the "laundry dragon" for the family. Wouldn't that be nice!? HA. 

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

It's laundry day!!!!

Money is in, buttons are pressed. Let the bubbles begin!! 

Watching the trains go by until the washing is done. 

Ssssssspiiiiiin!!!! Aaaaaalmost done! 

DING! 

Thanks for doing laundry with us! 

Lifestyle Photography

What is lifestyle photography?

"Lifestyle photography is a style of portrait/people photography which aims to capture and document real-life events, situations, or milestones in an artistic manner and the art of the everyday."

Lifestyle portraits are undeniably special. They are taken out of the studio and in to your world which gives them a more editorial portrait feel on a more personal level. The photographs are brought to life and radiates the emotion to the viewers. There's no posing, no planning.

Just REAL life moments. 

Here's a collection of lifestyle portraits that I had taken of my family a couple weeks ago so you can see for yourself just how incredibly genuine this style of photography is. 

Consider having a photographer (like me) come document your life in your home, or follow you on one of your weekly outings, whether it's to the library, the grocery store, laundry mat, park, or perhaps a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's. Because these are REAL life moments. They are worth documenting!
