First Roll

I have been itching to get back into shooting film again. It is the reason I ever fell in love with photography 12 years ago in the first place. I haven’t felt my heart light up like this in a long time. I have been a tad distant from my blog lately and that is because I am currently working on some huge projects. I am taking my time, especially since I have Jude, I tend to cherish my minutes a little more. I am shifting gears, challenging myself and taking new risks.

I am headed to Bar Harbor, Maine & Lee, New Hampshire this week with some of my closest girlfriends and two sweet babies. Before I blew through a trips worth of film, I needed to do a test roll before I left. I just picked up the roll this evening. My heart smiles on the inside, I love the rawness of these images.

These are such powerful images. They give me chills every time I see them. There is an honesty in each of them that stops me in my tracks. Something more precious about the moments because they were caught once, not eight hundred times w/ a CF card.

Thanks for sharing this, and for diving in. You’re DAILY inspiring me, love.
