Family Road Trip on Film - Sesame Place and Catoctin Mountain Orchard

I love my film camera!

Honestly, I love using it more than my digital camera. For some reason I trust it more...maybe it's because I take more time making the photo, rather than just shooting away. I feel like my Yashica FX-3 35mm makes images that I just can't get with my Nikon D90 or D700. And it's manual focus.

These photos are from a family road trip we took back in October. We packed up and made our way to Sesame Place just outside of Philadelphia, PA. There we met up with my sister-in-law and her family. On our way back home we stopped by Catocin Mountain Orchard in MD, to take in some fall festivities.

This is the last roll of film I shot using Kodak Portra 400 (developed and scanned at Walgreens). Arlene even took a few. Might be time to pick up a medium format film camera in 2012.

 

Sofia | Baby Shoot

So I typically don't do baby shoots, but when good friends Treb and Joyce asked me to photograph their two week old daughter Sofia I couldn't say no. Here are some photos below of their beautiful baby girl. Congrats Treb and Joyce!

Lillian + Nate Engagement Shoot : Washington, DC

Winter weather is finally here and what better way to warm it up than with Lillian and Nate's engagement shoot. I had the opportunity to enjoy a DC morning with them starting at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden for some ice skating and later a walk up to the National Portrait Museum. I truly enjoyed working with this couple, and I can't wait to photograph their wedding in September 2012!
