Elise – Real Film vs. VSCO Film
So a simple question – which one of the two presented photos is real film? As many of you may know from my prior post, I happen to shoot both film and digital. I have also been playing around with VSCO Film lately, a new preset package designed to make digital photos mirror their film counterpart. I’m definitely not a fan of preset packages because the results can often times look unnatural. However, the idea behind VSCO Film seemed to be entirely different.

Dillard Family Lifestyle Portraits
“Have you ever heard of Jose Villa” asked Cyndi. In that moment, it felt like fireworks went off. “Absolutely” I responded, adding “Do you know Jonathan Can…” Cyndi jumped in with “Jonathan Canlas…I love him!” At this point, I knew we were going to have an amazing family lifestyle portrait session. When your clients know and respect those that influence your work, it’s just going to be a good day. We spent the rest of the evening walking around Cleveland shooting photos and talking shop.

Troy & Sherita – portraits at the Lakewood studio
Troy and Sherita stopped by the studio earlier today to drop off their wedding photography contract. They are getting married in October just south of Cleveland. Little did they know I had little surprise planned. The photo studio was all setup to grab a couple quick portraits of each of them. I didn’t know how they would be dressed or what kind of mood they would be in after a day of wedding planning. Needless to say, the portraits could not have gone better. They were in a fantastic mood and I was ready to roll. Here are the results.
Summer Sizzlin’
As I shoot more weddings and portraits, I am carrying my camera with me more often. And my friends are getting used to me with a camera. They have learned to just accept it and largely ignore me when I have the camera in my hand.
Maternity portraits – Jessica & Jevon
I met Jessica and Jevon through work completely separate from my wedding photography. At the time, they were not even dating. Before you knew it, they went from dating, to married to expecting.
At that point, they both wanted to capture some great photos of their little family before it grew one person larger. Since then, I am happy to report they have a healthy baby girl.
