IT’S ARTISTIC BECAUSE IT’S FILM. IT’S ARTISTIC BECAUSE IT’S INTENTIONAL.

WHY FILM?

I was introduced to photography, film and polaroids you name it, early on being a young girl. My mom and dad captured everything, every occasion, and every little moment that made up our lives. Prints, polaroids, and floppy disk's, yes you read that right, filled our home. Becoming the way we remembered and experienced our childhood. Film is priceless to me because it holds time in a way that nothing else does, while staying present. Film is how so many of our parents, and relatives captured memories, the digital age didn’t exist. I started photography using digital format and have been refining my craft for quite a long time now, until recently. Growing up surrounded by close friends and family who shot on analogue cameras, I always admired it but never fully explored it myself. It wasn’t until this past year that I realized what I’d been missing. My love for the instant feedback and precision of digital cameras had initially kept me from diving into the world of film.

Film portrait and wedding photography has been around since the 1880s, and it’s never lost its richness or reliability. There’s something about film, the depth, its richness and graininess that is unmatched! Every frame is so intentional, carefully composed, and developed by hand. It’s not about taking endless shots and picking the best one. It’s about trust. Knowing that in one shot, the moment is captured exactly as it was meant to be, and how it was. My style has always been documentary, yet nostalgic, romantic like a home video from the ‘90s, raw, real, and full of heart. With a love for documentary and cinematic images + video films. Film photography fits right into that. It’s imperfectly perfect, and the perfect instrument to include on your most special days.
