Salem Portrait Photographer | 1940s inspired

It was a privilege to photograph this gorgeous woman.

Her natural beauty combined with her killer wardrobe and sense of style made for a fabulous session. 

 Can you see her face in the top lens of the camera? 

She was watching me photograph her!

Did I mention that she's the mother of three boys?

Yeah, if she wasn't so awesome, I'd have to hate her a little bit.

Everyone knows I love shoes and that I am a sucker for details!

Portland Film Photographer | One seriously awesome kid!

I love it when kids are confident and have style. I love it even more when they're also awesome on the inside and this girl most certain is!

She is smart, creative, funny, and so generous and kind.

Her family recently had an emergency situation occur at their 

home and while the adults were trying to assess the situation and decide what to do, she'd already found a phone and dialed 911. 

I think it's safe to say she'll go far! 

I had a great time photographing her in downtown 

Portland with some expired 35mm film. 

Salem Fine Art Photographer | A day with film.

Every now and then I make time for myself. 

Sometimes it's shopping. 

Sometimes it's getting a pedicure. 

Sometimes it's just begging out in the backyard. 

Sometimes, though, it's me driving around in the car with the music on and stopping every so often to take photos. One day, last fall (yes, I'm slow when it comes to getting film developed, scanned, and blogged) I did just this with my trusty 35mm camera. For anyone interested, these were all taken on the same roll of Ilford Delta 400.
