Beach Day with Jess

Lomography Redscale @ 50 ~ Yashica D

Last week I was thrilled to get together with my friend Jess for a beach day! Quite honestly, I feel I have been slacking on summertime outings so getting out and about was much needed and very much appreciated. We were fully prepared for the beautiful sunny day with beach blankets, books, snacks and a bottle of rose. I brought my little Yashica D also for some impromptu photos; I will always have so much love for this camera as it’s what lead me into medium format. Sadly, it had been a little while since I’d last utilized it as I suspected (correctly as it turned out) that it had a small malfunction. Due to this, a few exposures did not make it onto this roll, but I’m pleased to see at least these few photos came out just fine. I was excited about the resulting cool tones from overexposing this film, and also about some of the multiple exposures I tried. Most of all, I was ecstatic to enjoy a wonderful day alongside such great company.

Multiple Exposures with Marianna

This May I had the pleasure of again working with the lovely Marianna. She was one of the first models I had the opportunity to photograph when I began diving into medium format in the fall of 2018. It is always a fantastic experience to create with her; she has been nothing but welcoming in my experimental processes, and I will be eager to see what we cook up the next time around.

Rachel & Patrick's Wedding

My cousin Rachel got married in springtime and I was entirely honored to photograph the occasion. This was my second (and likely my last) wedding photography experience. And what a fantastic experience it was; I got to spend the day taking pictures of family and friends, and the rain even held out until just after the ceremony. Rachel and Pat are two of the kindest people I know and it really was a joyous occasion. Although wedding and event photography in general is not a genre I feel I excel in, I was happy with quite a few of the photos I took that day. These are a few of my favorites.

Colleen at the Hartford Manor

This spring I was invited by the fabulous Shannon to a group shoot in Hartford and by some miracle, I found last minute shift coverage at work so I could attend. I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting with some talented and empowering women including Colleen. She is not only a wonderful model, but very gifted photographer as well. Despite the initial hiccup of being locked outside the Airbnb, we all absolutely made the most of this location with the time we had. It was an excellent time with such a welcoming and lovely group of ladies. Colleen was a joy to collaborate with, and I hope to shoot with her again!
