Film Fridays {April}

Apr. 26th 2013 Written in: Couples / Families / Film / Lifestyle

It’s that time of the month again and this post is a long one! I love being part of this film blog circle with a bunch of talented women who love film as much as I do!

I actually have quite a few sessions that I need to blog (maternity session, birth story, newborn session, etc.) but I wanted to showcase my wonderful experience that I had last month at the FIND workshop hosted by Jonathan Canlas.  I had a blast, learned so much and walked away knowing more about who I am as an individual, where I want to take this journey and what I am passionate about. While I can’t explain in detail things that we discussed, I will say that I have so much LOVE and RESPECT for Jonathan Canlas. He showed so many facets of himself and I am ever so grateful for his infinite wealth of knowledge that he was so willing to share.

Below are some of my absolute favorite images from the workshop. There are a mix of couples, a beautiful family, out-takes, portraits of fellow FINDers and personal work that was derived from a little town called Helper, UT. The gear I used was my Mamiya 645AF and Nikon F100, along with Kodak Portra 400/800 and Kodak Ektar 100 film. This film wouldn’t look the way that it does without the relationship with an amazing Lab. Enter the The FINDlab! Everyone there shoots film and so they KNOW what to do and how to do it.

Enjoy; and when you’re done, follow on to the fabulous Karyn Johnson Photography, whose images are always so beautifully stunning!

Film Fridays {February}

Feb. 27th 2013 Written in: Children / Film / Lifestyle

I am sooo excited to be part of a fun group of wonderful ladies called Film Fridays. I’ve wanted to be part of a blog circle for awhile, so when I saw the opportunity, I asked and was accepted to join! Woot! I have been having a fun love-affair with film for about a year and want to continue to experiment and document. This circle couldn’t have come at a better time because I know it will push me to continue to grow and learn. I am attending the FIND workshop at the end of  March, so again, the timing is perfect.

Below are images I took of Peytyn at the park. I am just getting used to metering correctly, so this was more a “test” of sorts. These are straight scans from the FIND Lab, no edits. Easy peasy. That’s why I love film. All shot on my F100, 400h, 50mm 1.4G.

Follow the circle to Karyn Johnson!
