family, film, a picnic, and a competition

Stratton Family Picnic

Stratton Family Picnic

i was stewing all week, once i heard about jonathan canlas’s scholarship to his “film is not dead” workshop, whether or not to attempt to shoot a roll of film and enter a photo in. we have been out of town for basically a month and i really just didn’t have any time! i couldn’t stop thinking about it today and decided i just had to enter. i grabbed my old 35 mm camera and some 400 kodak film i hadn’t used from my trip to bermuda 4 years ago…voila! my first time shooting with film in forever and first time shooting in film whilst kind of knowing what i was doing (i learned and practiced photography during the digital era).

anyway, i have to submit one photo that represents the behive state (i went with “family” obviously) by midnight tonight and i can’t decide! if you are out there, please help! if not…i’ll have to figure it out on my own i guess.

even if my photo isn’t picked…i think this little experiment has encouraged my fancy with film.

night everyone!

I love the top one, but there is just something about that sweet baby’s face in the second one! Maybe that doesn’t help much, but those two get my vote :)

I love the picture of them staring down at the baby!

My favorite is the second one. I hope you win!

katie is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. i don’t even have to say that because these pictures all speak for themselves. we had such a blast during this bridal session! katie has such a unique style from her awesome bronze wedding dress to her crisp white cowboy boots (this gal’s a country singer and is going to be famous!). i am so excited to be heading to san diego, california to shoot her and mike’s wedding next week! wahoo!

katie and mike’s engagemnets, plus a funny story.

OH MY GOSH! Those are all AMAZING! I especially love the one of her in front of that neat old door. You are fantastic!

i’ve been crazy busy my blog readers. as you know, we recently returned from yellowstone, but what you may not know, is that we will be hopping in the car and heading south tomorrow to st. george. it was a bit of a last minute decision, but we’re really looking forward to soaking up some rays and hitting nielsen’s custard.yum.

hope you had a great monday…i’ve always loved mondays.
