If you know me, or read this blog regularly, you know that I love little boys. Like put-them-in-my-pocket-and-take-them-home-with-me love them. And this little boy is at the top of the list of boys I want to steal away for my own! Cooper is the best baby EVER. He’s so chill and so cute and so good that it’s always a surprise to me that Andrea doesn’t hide where she lives from me. :P We did this session in August for Cooper’s first birthday and I just love it to pieces!

I also shot a roll of Portra 400 film at their shoot on the Contax 645. (These were developed by the FIND lab.)

first roll of film

Shortly before the Black Forest Fire began I’d decided to purchase a film camera. Film has been seeing a resurgence in the last several years (with talented photographers like Jose Villa, Elizabeth Messina, and Jonathan Canlas inspiring digital photographers to dip their toes into the dark(room) side) and after years of being tempted, I finally made the plunge and ordered an F100 and several rolls of film. When we got back, our impromptu celebratory “they saved our houses–we’re still neighbors!” barbeque seemed the perfect place to debut the toy that arrived during our evacuation.

The details: Nikon F100 camera, 85mm f/1.4 D lens, Fuji 400H film, developed and scanned by Richard Photo Lab. These are the straight scans I received–no color adjustments by me.
