Frequently asked questions

will my images be in digital format?

Yes! All the film images are scanned by the lab into jpeg files, then are carefully edited by me for color adjustments. After that, they are uploaded to an online gallery for your ease of access. Fine art prints are available for purchase directly from your gallery.

Why film?

I believe this is the best way that I can serve my clients by creating images that I would want for my own family. Film portraits have a painterly quality to it that evokes emotion. The texture of the resulting photos take you back in time, almost like a memory. The colors of a well-exposed film portrait have no comparision. They are soft, ethereal, and yet true to life.

what if my kids don't cooperate?

Kids are kids, and that's what makes them so fun to work with! No two sessions are ever the same. I love how family sessions are so organic, depending on the personality of the children and dynamics within its members. I have four kids and have worked with young families over the years, so I do have a few tricks up my sleeve. ;) In the end, if you are relaxed, enjoying yourselves, and trusting me through the process, it will help calm the kids down as well. Simply enjoy them, play with them, and allow me to do the hard work for you!
