When Kristen first contacted me about photographing her and Lee for their Christmas card, I must admit I was slightly terrified. The reason being that Kristen is an amazing film photographer herself and I admire her work so much (see that pretty photo of me to the right, she took that). Although nervous, I was also flattered and really excited about the opportunity to photograph these two. First of all, these two are beautiful together and such naturals in front of a camera but the best part was that Kristen encouraged me to try and basically just shoot film during their session. What a gift that was! Once I didn’t have to worry so much about making sure I got the same pictures on digital and film ‘just in case’ I was able to really focus and enjoy shooting film. I absolutely love how these images (all film) came out even with the cloudy skies (towards the end check out the really dark skies behind us that brought in a downpour right as we finished). Kristen and Lee, thank you for this opportunity and the encouragement! Y’all should check out Kristen’s beautiful work after looking through these images.
