If you are beginning to learn about film photography, you have probably heard about an external light meter. This device allows you to know what camera settings to use in order to get a proper exposure on film. I remember being nervous about using this foreign piece of equipment and was afraid to ask.

When I started learning to use film in my photography business, I had no idea how to load the film into my medium format film camera. I felt silly asking what I thought was such a basic question!

Baby girl was just 2 weeks new when we photographed her with her family. They are really the kindest, sweetest, and just a beautiful family of four. This session was fun!
