Yep, film film! Actual old-school, physical film you’ll see me load and unload from my camera throughout our session! This decision enhances the timeless, soft, brilliant qualities you love while creating a more intentional, thoughtful session experience.
Wait, so you use film? Like, film film?
Thanks to my amazing partner in art, my Oregon film lab, we are able to develop and scan each image, converting them to digital files without losing any of the film appeal! Then, I edit them just as I would any other digital image! While this extra step adds a little extra time (about 2-3 additional weeks), I know you’ll adore the results.
But if you photograph film, how do we receive a digital gallery?
Because I focus on connection and interaction, my session style doesn’t translate well into a mini session. So, unfortunately, I don’t offer them. But never fear! As a former middle school teacher and current mom of three, I have endless strategies to engage your little ones in the process! I can’t wait to show you my unique approach to family photography!
DO YOU OFFER MINI SESSIONS? My kids have a hard time sitting still.
Absolutely! Believe it or not, most people feel exactly like you do! But by providing gentle direction, I create a space for you to connect with your family organically while looking like a million bucks! I deliver images filled with flattering angles AND genuine smiles, because I believe you deserve both.
Tbh, we are kind of awkward in front of a camera. can you help?
Wonderful! I recommend booking your session three months or more in advance, as my limited calendar space tends to fill quickly. I look forward to escorting you through this journey!
