film
Boudoir doesn’t have to be light and airy and you don’t have to wear pretty lingerie. Sometimes it is dark and moody, with combat boots, funky tights, tattoos and piercings.
Tracy & Jordon booked a family mini session that also served as a last minute engagement session for their elopement. We walked around in downtown Salem late last summer (2019) for this session. It was warm and the sun was setting, which just made it kind of magical.
This was a fun little thing that the kiddo did during the session. The first photo is one that I took of her, as she was taking photos of the bride-and-groom-to-be. The rest of the photos are the ones that she created with a little toy (film) camera I loaned her for the session. I really had no idea if the camera even worked and I think we used expired film. Suffice it to say, I am in LOVE with how they came out…blurriness and all.
These two shots are my favorite from the whole roll that she shot! One has massive blur and the other has a beautiful light leak. Be still, my film loving heart.
This was from a few years ago (yes, I am still planning on blogging old posts to the new site for a while), when I was in Las Vegas. Daish, mother of two, was absolutely awesome to work with (um, can you say laid back?). I don’t think I even got any strange looks when I suggested we shoot in the shower because the tiny window in there had killer light. This session was shot on film, with a Canon EOS-3 and Kodak Gold 400 (the b&w are just conversions) and then processed and scanned by The FIND Lab.
When someone books me for a single headshot, I shoot digital because the turnaround time is faster and I don’t really want to waste a whole roll of film for one shot. If you’re interested in having your portraits done on film, though, just ask me about mini sessions!
Bre is an adorable photographer that I met at a workshop a few years ago. Seeing as we met through film photography, it only made sense that I shoot her portraits on film. These were shot on my Canon EOS-3, using Kodak Gold 400 film, which was processed and scanned by The FIND Lab.
