#kodakmoments

My son is in 8th grade now and I can’t believe he’ll start high school next year. In a blink of an eye he’ll be in college and I’ll miss seeing him doing his homework at the dining table. Images like this are even more valuable to me as time goes by. 

This was a family shoot and the weather was so bad.

We found an interesting place where we could shoot without getting wet. 

My grandmother used to have a cottage on the river and it was a place that served as the backdrop for many family activities and events growing up. This picture was made during one of our last summers there. My sister was watching me adjust my camera and when I saw her composure I just lifted and clicked without a second thought. It felt like a scene that would be important again one day. 

Our orange (tailless) manx cat, Edgrrrr, loves getting his morning drink from our sink. 

Something our little family loves is traveling together. Road trips are a way for us to connect while we journey to a fun destination. Even our dog Atlas has a smile in the backseat, ready to go!

Milo shot around Birmingham on a cold morning while back. Shot on a Contax G2 with a lovely little 35mm Carl Zeiss prime lens on Kodak Portra 400 then scanned on my Plustek8200i⠀

Enjoying a warm winter day by exploring the river at sunset. 

After finishing a short hike up a hill with a rocky peak, I looked over at my buddy boy, Axel, and snapped a photo. It warmed my heart to look back at my phone and see how Axel smiled back at me.

This photo was taken in San Francisco, CA. 

We’ve captured together moment of mother and daughter reading books having fun and cuddling. Story worth to watch ❤️

The elated feeling one gets when a client pays for a job well done.

My little girl had just woke up from her nap and I set her on this little table. Our new puppy absolutely loves her and had to be up by her to make sure she was safe. They’re the best little friends. 

Sitting in the door of the wardrobe leading to Narnia and having a book open on her lap created a beautiful double meaning for this portrait of my daughter. Taken in my childhood home. 

My dear friend Lemon asked me to take engagement photos for her and her fiancé earlier this autumn. It was my first time doing couple portraits on film, but I'm so happy with how they turned out. These shots really capture their love for each other and their life in the Chinese countryside. 

A bunch of us set out for Long Beach in Tofino  BC. It was late august which  is always my favourite time to go because the sunsets are absolutely amazing and there’s always airplanes landing right behind the beach. This time I didn’t forget my film like the previous trip (facepalm) so the hype was real. Well It didn’t take too long for a plane to meander into my frame while I was taking a picture of my buddy with his surfboard annnnnd *Click* 

Had a creative block.. before getting to the shooting site but everything became clear when I saw the sunset and a beautiful garden.. the rest is jpegs

During the master a fantastic bond was formed between girls from all over the province of Bari ..... Maria had been missing for a very long time and when we saw her again we welcomed her with a fantastic song 

Anyone else feel like this month has gone by so quickly?​
​
I've been reflecting a lot on the season I've gone through with my family & the season I'm currently in.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Something that I'm definitely proud of is being able to prioritize my business around my family & everyday busy lifestyle. It's so easy to feel like I want & need more, but never sacrificing my family allowed for success to still happen. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Today I sit in gratitude. As much pressure I put on myself, God finds a way to provide.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Are you reflecting at all this month? What's something you've learned that you're taking with you into the future?

It was an amazing feeling when you came to know that the clothes suits your pet and she look's adorable 🥰

This portrait is the reason I love capturing portraits.

Short break on our way back

A moment from a recent trip with our best friends and their little girl, who is a ray of sunshine. I adore her. I took this photo to capture a moment from her nighttime routine which is bath, brush teeth and bed time story. 

Santa has been hard at work and now it's time to go glamping. He's ready for a much needed vacation. 

There is no great gift than friendship. Santa has been my friend for many years and sharing the gift with my grandson on his first Christmas is a priceless moment... a gift I will treasure.

Katie's first Christmas, opening her presents. 

Life with kids are all about the little moments, it's embracing the chaos, it's embracing how they are now because they literally change overnight.

Nada como disfrutar tiempo en familia en navidad. Son los mejores momentos y se crean los mejores recuerdos. En navidad se dan las mejores sonrisas. Amor, carcajadas y compartir, eso es navidad. 

This way to the Christmas Trees!! A picture from the day we spent at the local tree farm cutting down our Christmas tree! 

The kids are making footprint salt ornaments for their great grandma. 

call it magic, creating some Christmas magic with my little girl.

This moment is from our engagement pictures. This picture was captured in the vineyards of North Georgia. We get married on April 15, 2023.

Even the Grinch had a dog.  So if you don’t like dogs,  you might need to do some soul searching.

Living for these slow holiday moments.✨

This Christmas season I hope that you feel a slowdown for your family — that you slow down and be present, that you enjoy every sip of hot cocoa with your kids, that you don’t immediately move the clump of ornaments around to how you want them.

Just BE + enjoy the magical moments.

I’m super excited that Santa Claus is coming soon! Mom captured this joyful moment as we’re awaiting Santa’s arrival! 

I was on vacation in Pamama City Beach Florida and stumbled upon this ginormous Christmas Ornament. I felt like a little kid, running towards it. Kyle was happy to capture such a joyful moment for me! This perfectly captures what I think Joy is!
