I like shooting with film. It makes me slow down and think more than I would if I was using my digital camera. Then there's the experience of getting your prints back. It's like opening a present except you're responsible for its contents. Some of them are crap, especially because I'm still learning how to meter light correctly. But the ones that work out are all the more valuable.
Shot from January - August 2014, vibrant color is naturally from the film

That one time Madysen and I did winter portraits in Wyuka and almost got frostbite.
Caught Luka in the middle of a yawn. Gorgeous golden winter light.

A Day in the Life of a Cherry Tomato
in personal
A lot of cherry tomatoes and some evening inspiration. And my dog, who was mostly a willing model. Poor guy sees my camera and just gives up. <3 My mom has had a garden since I can remember, and this year is especially bountiful. The Earth is good.

"This is not an all-natural beef treat as you led me to believe"
The whole tomato family and some accidentally picked green ones.
Support shelter dog adoption and you too can have a tomato-investigating furry tailed friend.

The following photos are my favorites from the past 364 days. This year I did 19 (informal and formal) portrait sessions, 6 high-school senior sessions, 5 headshot sessions, 2 sporting events, 1 engagement shoot, and 1 music album photo shoot. Whew. Thank you so much to everyone who chose me to do their photos!
