Camera Talk: Mamiya RB67
How to get the depth of Medium Format with instant satisfaction you ask? That’s the same question we asked ourselves and having seen countless Mamiya Polaroids on Flickr, we couldn’t resist picking up a Mamiya RB67 of our own on KEH with a Polaroid back and start shooting. It is a beast, weighing as much as a small dog, but worth toting around on our shoots simply because you...

Lost Roll of Film
As I was going through and reorganizing our cameras, I saw that the Nikon FM still had some film in it. So I rewinded the roll and sent it in for developing. I couldn’t remember the last time we had used the camera, so I had no idea what was in it. We got the roll back and it was from a bunch of our fashion shoots in 2010! The cool thing was that it was a roll of 3200 film. The pictures look...

When Rebecca contacted us again to do her family photos, we were really excited about it! We did theirs last year and it was a lot of fun! The only thing different was that this was the first time we did a family shoot indoors. The weather had been super cold and so this was a good compromise.

And I must say that I wholeheartedly agree and then some. And now it has even more personal connection, it’s where I received an absolutely gorgeous engagement ring. Not only was the ring beautiful, but it carries...

Portland Wedding Photographer: Wedding Album
We love designing wedding albums! We just completed one for one of our clients from Clare+Cooper’s wedding last year. We got to make one for the groom’s mother. It feels really good to design a product knowing that it means a great deal to the client. Thank you KISS wedding books for their amazing quality!
