I posted some film photos of my boys a couple of weeks ago.  I had so much fun shooting it again, and got such an enthusiastic response from the photos I posted, that I decide to shoot a little bit more.  This time I took it in studio.

These wonderful people were kind enough to let me experiment a bit at their family photo session.  It was fun, and I love the way they turned out.

Now I'm wondering if there are others out there who, like me, love the grain and texture of film, and who've missed it.  I'm thinking about offering it as an add on to my summer sessions....  Would love to hear your thoughts.

Ok... I know I already posted some pictures of cute little Penny last week.  But we just can't get enough of her!  She's just too darn adorable.  So here are a few more.  Enjoy!

The DeLances!  I shot their amazing wedding in Maui about two years ago (one of the photos from that gorgeous wedding was featured in Seattle Bride back in January).  Since then they've had two beautiful children.  The newest little DeLance is just two weeks old.  I was so looking forward to meeting her, and, as always, had a wonderful time working with them all!!!  Here is a little sneak peak from our Saturday morning photoshoot.

........I think my clients actually do have the cutest babies!!  For reals!!  This week has just been one completely adorable child after another.  I don't even know what to say any more!!

Just,  keep up the good work people!!

It seems as though this is my week for newborns... and I couldn't be happier about it.  Check out this little guy!  Isn't he adorable?  And so much hair!!  I love my job.

I had the best newborn shoot today.  This little cutie came in asleep, and stayed asleep through the entire shoot.  She woke up a little at the very end so I could get a picture of her sweet little face with her eyes open (very thoughtful).

Here is a little be of what we got.

Had a shoot on Monday with these gorgeous twin girls.  Aren't they beautiful?!  I just had to share.

So, I officially stopped shooting film in 2007, but it was not an easy break up.  We were on again, off again for years!  Now, I hardly ever shoot it.  In fact... I'm sure it had been at least two years since I've loaded a roll of film into my camera.   But last week, in a fit of nostalgia,  I raided the stash that I keep in my fridge, loaded up the old Elan 7 and went to the park with my kids.  It was so fun!!  And I love the way they turned out.

I don't know that I'll ever go back to shooting film for work... but I do love the look and feel of it.

Who knows... maybe we'll get back together some day :)

My little boys turn five years old today.  I can hardly believe it!  It seems as though they we just babies!!!

For some reason, this birthday is getting me a little.  Five seems like such a big deal.  It's such a big number....  They're learning to ride bikes, and how to read, and soon they'll be going off to school.  All of the sudden they've turned from tiny little babies into boys... and it's happened in the blink of an eye.   It kind of takes my breath away.

So Happy Birthday to my little Super Heroes!! The loves of my life, and two of the most interesting people I know.

Little Penny here came in today for her six month portrait shoot... and I have to say, that I think Penny is the cutest name for a little baby girl! But her name isn't the only adorable thing about this child!  Look at those eyes!! Swoon!!!  And little rosey cheeks... and little baby rolls on her legs and arms!  Too cute!!!

I just had to share!
