film fridays: a personal project where I put down my digital camera and share images created on film
So much on my mind lately. I’d love to sit here and spew it all from my brain..word vomit style…but sometimes it’s better to just take a deep breath, be still and listen.

This is my super-cool nephew Julien who is graduating this year. Woot Woot! Over Christmas break I photographed him for his senior portraits and had so much fun. I knew it would be a good time when I suggested “How bout we go to a Graveyard?” In which he replied “I’m down”. I love graveyards. I’ve even photographed my own kids there. I’m not morbid, I promise. They are just so beautiful and interesting to me…especially the old ones. So to be able to suggest this without getting a crazy look was awesome. He gave me free reign to dress him up however I wanted and take him wherever I wanted. Add to that my precious film and you have a happy photographer. It was a good day.
This second set is SO him. The dress up stuff is fun but I also love being able to capture someone in their element.
Fabulous!
I love you!
Thank you! 
Really special work.

I finally got film back that I took at Christmas. As you can see we had a White Christmas here in Big D!! Snow is rare in Texas but a White Christmas was a real treat! The kids were so excited to play in it. Chloe had a hard time once her hands got too cold but I had to literally drag Asa in soaking wet.
The color photos were taken with the Nikon F100 and b&w with my medium format Mamiya. I am really so impressed with the 35mm color scans. I just never knew 35mm could look this good. Thanks to Indie Film Lab for an excellent job!
Look at this lazy bum of a cat! She laid by that fire the entire time we had it going. I would think you would avoid fire being naturally flammable and all. :) The bottom right photo is my Mom and the kids taken just 2 days before the snow. Look at that! Short sleeves and I would put money on it they didn’t have shoes on either. That’s crazy Texas weather for you!
I love these! That was such a cool day… When it started to snow, Nathan went out and literally danced a jig!
These are so great Jenny!
It's always so great to see your photos!
Thanks guys! I appreciate that!
Jenny, your kids work is always such a treat to look at!

Isn’t he a lovely child? I see so much potential looking into those big brown eyes. 7 is definitely the age that I will remember his thoughtfulness emerging. I often wonder what type of person he will grow up to be and if we are doing everything right to set good examples. Are we showing him how to be a good, moral and happy person? That last one is key. If there was ever a desire I wished for my children it would be happiness. Not to be a slave to future happiness, the once-I-achieve-this-then-I’ll-be-happy mentality or materialistic happiness but to decide to be happy in the present moment and accept their life while working for where they want to be. To realize that it’s not the destination that matters, but in the journey itself.
