I'm a lover of color, family, love, laughter + sunshine.
I also live on coffee + tacos, but what mom of toddlers doesn't?1

A month ago I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. It all started with a few hours to kill before getting on our flight back home. Jay and I were driving around San Fransisco in our “too nice” rental car (I’m the type of girl that likes her car to be at least 15...
Film is a fun side project for me. It’s always a challenge, but whenever I get my film scans back it always makes me glad I took the few extra minutes to pull out my Mamiya and silently curse to myself that I’m going blind (it’s all manual focus). A few weeks ago Liz +...
I’m safely back from Hawaii and back to work. I know everybody says this, but it went by way too fast. It was my second time going to Kauai, and every time I wish I had a bride and groom following me as I explore. I’m strange and tend to like photos more if people...
I just wanted to share a few things about how my film experiment is going. My Mamiya 645 is being repaired right now (like for the last month), so Niall McCarthy let me borrow his Pentax camera. Not sure what type of Pentax camera it is…but it’s a beast. Full steel, weighs about 15 pounds, 10...

A few weeks ago Cory, Jerika, Ben, Ashley and Niall met up in Laguna to have an afternoon of shooting and hanging out. The main goal for me was to shoot more film. But more importantly than to just shoot film…I wanted to push myself a little farther and shoot a roll of film I...
I hope everyone had a great Christmas! For me, I spent the time with family mostly…and worked in a little relaxing. For me, relaxing is playing Skyrim and watching an insane amount of TV shows on Netflix. One of the shows I finished was Lie To Me. Since then, I’ve been obsessing over watching peoples...
I just received a few rolls of film back from Jenna + Matt’s wedding and have been dancing in my seat ever since. Jenna and Matt were really excited about me shooting a few rolls of film at their engagement session, so I made sure to do the same for their wedding. I’m so glad...
I just got my two rolls of film back from Jenna and Matt’s engagement session, and I wanted to share the beauty. 🙂 As always, I shot one roll with my Mamiya 645 (Fuji 400) and one roll with my 35 Nikon. Even though it’s harder to shoot with my Mamiya, I think I might...
I did it. I shot an entire session on film…and with a camera that didn’t have a built in light meter (thats how photographers get their general settings) or auto focus. And I couldn’t of asked for a more awesome couple. About 5 minutes after I started shooting I noticed something was wrong with my...
So I got my first roll of test film back from Richards Photo Lab, and to tell you the truth I’m surprised anything turned out. I was using a Kodak 400TX, 50 1.8 lens, 1982 Nikon FG 35mm and my not-so-hot-skills at manually focusing. Since I’m keeping this learning experience real and telling you guys everything it’s kinda refreshing....
