My first time shooting film | Ektar 100

I've been using a DSLR since 2008. I haven't shot film since high school when I would buy cheap disposable cameras and get the film developed at the grocery store. I've felt in a bit of a rut so I decided that it was time to try something new, so I picked up an old Elan 7 camera on eBay and bought several different types of film on Amazon. I chose a roll of Ektar 100 since it was the cheapest of the film I bought and I figured I would probably screw up, so why waste money. haha. Ektar 100 is contrasty and bright, quite the opposite of how I normally shoot and edit my digital images. I know this won't be my favorite film, but I am so excited to play around. I'm actually quite proud that of the 36 frames I didn't completely screw up a single one. Woo hoo. haha. Next up? Some Porta 800! Wish me luck ;)

Reid...my Reid :)

It's been ages since I shared photos of my kids on here. Last night I had a session reschedule so I decided to photograph Reid instead. He's 6 1/2 now and I am so excited to finally have a child old enough to bribe ;) All this session cost me was one $.99 iPad game! Mr. Cool was freezing (it was about 50 degrees), hence the sweet hat and hands in pockets pose that he kept doing himself. I love Seattle, but I do miss the warmer days of California! It is quite nice that his beautiful location is less than a mile from our house.
