Category Archives: on location Happy Monday to you! I’m finally back to work after a bit of a break. Our dog is doing much better (thanks to all who asked) and I’m fresh off the heels of attending and speaking at Alt Summit in Salt Lake City. I had a lovely time connecting with some of my favorite people....

I super duper loved seeing you! (And I loved seeing some snow, which you missed by about 24 hours.) 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,... by Sarah 6 comments

Amazingly beautiful! Wow! I loved the video and eagerly await the shoot!  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!

Stunning. I can’t wait to see more.

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!

I love this. I just ordered me a new film camera. I hope to try it out as much as possible.  One of my very best friends in the universe became a mom the other day. I am so incredibly happy for her. I spent two wonderful days with baby Harper and she stole my heart. Congratulations to T & M! p.s. We didn’t have much time for photography. We put Harper on the butcher block... by Sarah 3 comments

Bienvenue à ce nouveau trésor, Signé : bebecompote.com  Recently I had an incredibly fun shoot with Megan of Littlest Bird Studios in Mill Valley, California.

Welcome back from your trip! I hope you had a great time. These photos are so great! I’m excited to show them off on our new site. By the way, I love the rocking sheep and their mullets, especially the pink one. |
