culturally inspired graduation portrait shot in Duluth, MN

On my Moms 60th Birthday my sister in law, my brother, my parents and I went for a little walk with their dogs. The light and the moment was just so beautiful, so I had to capture it.

A moment of peace before the hustle and bustle of life begins.

I took this photo as part of a series of film portraits when I was documenting a 3-day wedding celebration with my husband Nahuel Aseff. I was capturing moments of the guests and landscapes on film and it was taken in Punta Mita, Mexico.

Enjoying the sunset

During the dry winter in Minnesota 2023, I decided to take a trip to Miami with my Girlfriend to meet her family. We had an evening at her childhood home over south in Miami Florida after a full day of thrifting and shopping for clothes. 

We shared stories memories and culture through the lens of Blackness and enriched our happiness enjoying the warmth of the tropical sun. 

Captured is a self-portrait of I and my significant other, Dalayni Etienne hugging each other before enjoying our night with the family. 

It is an honor to be given this opportunity and I hope to gain more in my future of film photography!

A real #KodakMoment ! 

A moment in which we stop and analyze both sides of ourselves, the good side and the bad side. As the caption on my feed says!

My birthday party

Adorable kittens

The moment I captured is a memory of my culture. Hot days of kids playing, and other folks in the neighborhood sitting outside to enjoy the sun. Whether it’s getting their hair done, or just taking in the small moments of life.

My dear friends, Maya and Maddie, on Maya’s golden birthday. We spent the night camping and then went to the beach. I feel so lucky to get to capture special moments for them.

It's our Daddy's 40th Birthday!!! 🎁 🎉🎂
.
Happy Birthday Daddy. We love you SO much. Thanks for the adventures, the dining room footy matches, the snacks, the treats, the shoulder lifts & the lols. You really are the BEST (& apparently the most fun even though mum is NOT happy about us saying that!).

Waiting for your best moment... the ride!

It was a sunny day at Coogee Beach, and I was sitting on the Coogee Rainbow Walkway, observing the people around me. A family consisting of a father, mother, and son passed by, coming close to where I was seated. The child showed his excitement and curiosity as he ran around, laughing joyfully. After that, the mother left somewhere, leaving the child to sit down next to his father and listen attentively to what he showed points of interest around the beach.

In this moment of connection between father and son, a warm sense of nostalgia touched me. It was a simple yet profound moment.

Hiked down the beach with a medium format and some Portra 400 and got these cool portraits of Skye, I can say the weather was on our side this time with these beautiful colors.

I love film photography for its unpredictability and imperfections, for the way it‘s able to capture the feelings that were felt in a particular moment through grain and contrast and shadow and light. When I will look at this picture that I took in bangkok in 5 or 10 or 20 years I hope it does that for me - bring back the feeling of standing there in a temple overlooking the chaos called bangkok, 3 months of traveling ahead of me and hundreds of memories that are yet to be made. 

My wife, Madison, walking our golden retriever puppy, Athena, for the first time at McConnell’s Mill State Park in Pennsylvania. Athena was so excited she was practically bouncing them down the trail in front of me. I ducked to the side and quickly snapped this with my Pentax 67 on Ektar 100 I had intended on using for the fall colors.

Together with two of my friends we drove up north to a remote beach where we went in for a quick swim in the sea. This is when I took this photograph.

Venturing into the heart of Hokkaido's rugged landscape with nothing but my trusty film camera was an experience unlike any other. As I embarked on this photographic odyssey, I found myself immersed in a world of raw beauty and untamed wilderness.
