Hi there! I’ve been out of the office for a bit nursing my dog who had a big surgery last week. My apologies for delays on emails, etc. I’m about to post the Ranch shoot we did back in December. If you haven’t seen the behind-the-scenes video shot and edited by my awesome associate photographer,...

Amazingly beautiful! Wow! I loved the video and eagerly await the shoot!  Hello there! I thought I’d share a few images of a wedding I shot in 2011. I don’t do weddings all that often – usually just by special request from a family member or an extra special friend. And perhaps because I shoot them so rarely I really fall in love with them. It’s a... by Sarah 3 comments

i love the picture of them holding hands on the bottom row … his free hand says it all … excitement, nervousness, and anticipation all at the same time … I love weddings. thanks for sharing  Hello and Happy New Year to you! I’ve been out of the studio for a few weeks and excited to get back to work. I’m so thrilled to have a new website and branding in the next month or so. I hope you’ll stay in touch. I’m sharing a bunch of new work with the... by Sarah no comments  A very big thank you for participating in our Heath Ceramics photobooth. We always have so much fun at Heath and hope you did, too! The gallery is up (LA images start on page six). There are a few images missing from the gallery as of 10AM PDT. We’ll have those up by 5pm today.... by Sarah no comments  Hey there. I wish I could share more from this shoot but need to hold off a bit longer. I’m just loving the results though and I can’t say enough good things about being patient and shooting film (when you can). It’s really magical. Happy holiday weekend to you!

Patricia, so sorry for the delay! I’ve been a little extra busy with the holidays. RPL does make a huge difference on using film. I didn’t want it to be true but the extra money and time it costs there is worth every penny. I love everything that comes back. I’ll ask twitter about NY labs but I have never heard of a great lab there. If I lived in NY I’d probably still use RPL. Thanks for the comment! S.

thanks so much for the detail Sarah! that was so helpful! you really have beautiful images and your film work is outstanding. I agree with your ‘shoot film often’ advice … I’ve been so slow to get through a roll … it’s intimidating

Hi Kasandra! Thanks for the comment. Aside from other benefits of film the real joy is that there is very little that is done to them when they get back from the lab. I use Richard Photo Lab in LA. I’ll be honest and say that I’ve tried many other labs as well and years ago I used a great lab in San Francisco called New Lab that went out of business. Richard Photo Lab is above and beyond the best option out there (other than maybe in NY) that I have found. I ship them the film and about 7-10 business days later I get a link to download the files. I edit my selects using the rating system in Bridge and I open each file individually. Typically the most I’ll ever do is adjust the levels a tiny bit and I might dodge/burn here or there but I only spend a few seconds with each file. Then I re-size them in Bridge so they are web-ready and that’s it. It’s pretty wonderful to save hours and hours of processing and on top of that I think the results are better than when I shoot digitally. However, it’s a trade-off because it’s a slower process and it’s expensive to buy and develop film. I’m finding though that I’m moving more towards film this year than other years. It’s all relative so it might not work the same for you. The most important thing is to shoot film often or you won’t see the benefits. I’d say that you need to shoot at least 30 rolls to get started. Hope this was helpful!
