Today I'm trying to hang on to the happy things in life while I nurse my sinus infection (I've been really sick for a week and a half) and while my husband works so hard that we don't see him much. So, onto more film! I took these back in May when we spent a day at the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz. I love these photos! I love Holly's hair and I love that she has a piece of licorice in her hand. I love that the beach is sparse and beautiful. My wonderful camera is definitely on my happy list.

I have my Grandfather's old Canon AE-1 camera. I love it. It's a beautiful camera all on it's own. I've been curious about film and have wanted to dive into it for a while, but I was so nervous. For whatever reason, shooting film felt like going out on a limb. But you know what? It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be and the photos turned out lovely. I adore the vintagey look the camera naturally gives the photographs. I love the feel of the photos. It's the grain and the lighting. They come together to make something wonderful. I'm so happy I took photos with this camera and I'm so excited to do more! 

Below are a couple I took in Yosemite in May.

Greta has an incredible head of hair. It's now long enough for a ponytail. Look at how absolutely adorable she is! 

I love my Mom. And my Mom loves me and my family a lot! I love to see my family with my my children. It makes me happy.
