Christina is a natural in front of the camera, and was great to work with. She has a fun, confident personality, and plenty of her own posing ideas.
I usually like my film shots from a session better than my digital ones, or at least for different reasons. These are no exception.
Film looks like this on it’s own- I rarely use Photoshop on any of the files, and if I do it’s just a simple crop or slight contrast adjustment.



This one has nothing to do with Christina’s session, and everything to do with my love for a good cappuccino. : )
Yes people, film and coffee are definitely two things that make this girl smile.

All shot with a Pentax Asahi Spotmatic, Kodak Gold 200 film.
Processing by Richard Photo Lab.

This little guy was so adorable, and his facial expressions had me laughing the entire time I was shooting!

This was a really fun session- even though it was crazy hot outside while we were shooting. Totally worth it though!

I had such a fun shoot with Christina this afternoon. I am so excited to share more with you, very soon, but here is one of my favorites.

I feel like summer is really, really here now- not just the weather, but the summer mentality. Slow and happy.
I just want to soak up good books and sunshine and sip on cool drinks all day long : ) I have been very busy, but it’s a really good busy. Sometimes I feel like I am practically overflowing with inspiration.
Happy Summer, and enjoy every minute that is left of it!
