I choose to incorporate family photography on film for my sessions because I adore film photography for many reasons. Film is quite different than digital photography, and these differences are part of why I enjoy it. I also love photographing my own family on film. I will often carry around my 35mm camera to document […]

DC Film Photographers are frequently asked many questions about film, so I wanted to compile the most common questions and their responses in one place for you!

Did you know that photographs boost self-esteem in children? When deciding to offer customized artwork for my clients this year, I learned that there was a body of research dedicated to this idea. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. When children see themselves in their homes, they feel validated and a sense […]

As a DC fine art photographer, I have desired to enrich the service I provide the families I photograph. I couldn’t quite place my finger on it, but it seemed there should be something more than simply sending an online gallery and calling it a day.
