The holiday break was a relaxed couple of weeks with the weather being surprisingly warm, even for Texas. We played with our new toys, rode bikes and hiked a trail where some of the trees and a bench were festively decorated! I prefer shooting outdoors, but pushed myself to practice shooting film indoors over the […]

Over the fall, I tried to carry my film camera with me and practice shooting in different settings to keep gaining more experience shooting film. I did manage to capture my first (somewhat decent) double exposure of my daughter with some flowers when were out location scouting for a family session one day. I love […]

My friend, Carla, turned me on to how great a few hours at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens can be for our entire family. The kids love exploring, feeding the koi fish and seeing any special exhibits. I can shoot some photos of kids doing said things and we all get out and get some […]

In 2020, my in-laws sold their farm my kids had grown up visiting. It was a sad day for everyone. But luckily, they missed the farm life as well and decided to buy another property. Over a long weekend, we visited for the first time. There’s no house built yet, so it was quaint staying […]

When I shoot digitally, I can click away. This allows my kids to keep moving, without much direction from me […]

The beach. The ocean. It’s my favorite combination. I am better version of myself at the beach. So needless to say, I was excited to pack my (film) camera bag when we headed to Port Aransas over Labor Day weekend. At this point, I had only shot two rolls of film and was learning so […]

Welcome to a new blog series called Shot on Film! At the end of August, I picked up an old film camera my father-in-law gave me a few years ago (that I never thought I’d have any use for) and started messing around with it. To my surprise, my digital lenses fit the old 35mm camera […]
