Photographers: have you ever longed to try your hand at shooting film, but whether due to fear or overwhelm or a lack of know-how, have never actually taken a crack at it? If so, I totally get it! And trust me- you aren’t the only one!

My love affair with photography began in the dark room, while taking a black & white film class my junior year in college. As cheesy as it sounds, I fell head over heels in love with film- the wind of the camera, the heavy click of the shutter, the magic of the chemicals, everything.

When I decided to start shooting weddings, I transitioned to digital, but then a couple years later got the itch for film again. But because this time, I was out of college and on my own, I didn’t have a CLUE where to begin! There was SO much information out there, much of it going way over my head.
