Experimenting with film… Again!

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

As most people know… or maybe not, I learn photography when film was still cool. After working with digital for the past 7 years, my heart and the artist in me has been craving some old school film photography! I feel like digital has made me a little lazy to be honest and not as creative as I once felt.  So… I’m taking it back a little and as I shoot it more film, I hope to post more! Hopefully I will start offering film sessions as an alternative in the new year!

Enjoy!

 This is Meredith and Crystaline! Two of my photography sisters. We try to meet up every Tuesday just to have breakfast, catch up with each other and just support each other in our photography growth. I’m so happy I met them last summer and I absolutely love these ladies!

 

 

 

This set of pictures is from our day trip to Ocean City, Maryland. I decide to drag my film camera along to see what I would get! I didn’t shoot as much as I thought I would only because I had to keep my 2 year old from eating the sand!

Behind the Super Hero Shoot with Doug Sonders!

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

What happens when you have a group of photographers, a good looking guy in super hero costume, and some villians??? A good time, a whole lot of laughs, and ton of creativity!  My kind of people.  Anybody that really knows me knows that I love meeting new people no matter what they do for a career but I loooooove other creatives. I can not wait to see the final product that Doug produces from this shoot.  In the meantime please check out his skills at Douglas Sonders Photography!

Easter Sunday

Monday, April 25th, 2011

Every year, our friend’s host an Easter Egg hunt for all of the children of their friends and family. On the way home, the afternoon thunderstorm clouds started to roll in but the sun found a peek through every now and again. Luckily my husband was driving, so I dug my camera out of the back seat of our car and this is what I got….


 

Ab’s Great Music

Friday, April 15th, 2011

I love this guy!  He is such an amazing person, a fellow artist, and a talented musician!

Man… The 3 days we decided to have this shoot, were three of the coldest days in DC this winter. On the third day it snowed! 90% of our shoot was outside and I have to give some much credit to Ab for hanging in there with the 17 degree weather and the 20 mph wind gust. Hell in a few of our sets he only had on a tee shirt! I was lucky enough to have on my ski coat, gloves and my knee high socks with a ton of hand warms placed all over my body! LOL

Anyway, I had such a great time with this shoot despite the weather. We had a great team of people to work with and  every body enjoyed themselves.

If you love great music, real talent and live instruments… please check out his page  Abs the Name or follow him on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/abmusc

Thanks to Carolou for awesome styling and Tia Michelle for video and your help with posing!

The New Billionaires

Friday, November 12th, 2010

Eric Kai-Lewis and Keril Sawyer  are the best!  Very professional and about their business, but they know how to loosen up their ties and have a little  fun!  I was originally just supposed to shoot a few head shots for their blog but as you will see in the pictures, things got a little crazy. When you have a sec, please check out their blog, http://new-billionaires.com and their Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=283818354429.  If you are an entrepreneur, I think you will quite enjoy their video blogs and webinars they host from time to time.
