KODAK MOMENT of the Day

“No other love in the world is like the love a father has for his little girl.” ❤️

#BlackFathersMatter #DaddyDaughter #Daddysgirl #MommysWorld #KodakMoments.

   My friend Alex and I climbed to the Castle Rock summit at Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondacks, Upstate NY. I captured the moment he viewed the beautiful Fall Foliage surrounding the valley. It was definitely worth the hike! 

Time flies while you’re busy turning moments into memories. You don’t notice how beautiful a moment was until all you have left is a photo of the memory. 

As we were getting ready to leave the picnic the sun's rays came out from the clouds in the distance and I wanted to capture a few more candids. This is how I got this shot. The colour scheme could not have been more perfect!

I’m from Banff Alberta, and I took my mom to Bankhead for the first time on my last day with her before I went back to school. There are coal carts there and I climbed inside one not realizing my mom took a photo.

The photo of me was taken somewhere in a field in Transylvania by my friend Irina, using my film camera, an Olympus AF10 and a Kodak Ultramax 400 film.

Fall is almost here and I can hardly wait. By far the best season and the photos never disappoint.

Someone is pumped for all things fall / halloween 

Visiting our first pumpkin patch of this Autumn when driving across the UK on our two week road trip.

But what I love most of all about fall is hanging with my pumpkin ??

I’m batty for you! ?? 

Bear is dressed as a bat for spooky season this year. 

Perfect pictures don’t exist but perfect moments do. I’ve never felt more complete and I’m starting to realize this warm feeling from these special moments we get to spend together are way more worth a perfect photo. And truthfully this is my perfect photo. There’s more to love than likes.

But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love matching family pics ?

I think it might be better I stick to jack-o-lanterns. Bucky thinks so too! He sure enjoyed some of the pumpkin scraps while we carved it, too!

Today was “Dress up like a Doctor” day at their preschool.
I knew everyone would dress their children in the traditional doctor scrubs etc.
So I decided to dress them up as Veterinarian Doctors.

Aren’t they just the cutest?

Halloween last year, Boulder and Harley as ET and Elliott dress up. 

Dressing up for Halloween is our favorite & what better costume than a bunch of princesses?! 

Loving sisters celebrating spooky season. 

Clark and Buddy, brothers that love to dress up! 

It’s spooky season! Happy Halloween!

It’s hard not to ? ?? “Fall” ??? in love with you. 

A spooky season appropriate outfit :)

Autumn is here! So I had a road trip with my family around my city to enjoy those fall colors.

This photo was taken on a road trip in Jamaica. 

I was outside with my lovely dog and my vw Bus.

i Take this Photo spontaneous ist was a snapshot.

we was enjoy the day 

You are the ☀️Shine of my life. There’s never a dull moment with you, my son. For that, I am forever grateful for the light that you bring into my life.

Taking a ride to the Big Apple for with Madison and she gave me a run for my money lol. 

A sunny yet windy morning in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. Apart from catching the sunrise at 5.55am at a spot called the Sublime Point, I caught a moment where my husband is a second away from capturing the sunrise light from his lens. I saw the ray of light and couldn’t help it. 

When we get older, we sometimes forget to slow down and take time to play by exploring the beauty of the world that is around us! 

It’s hard not to “fall” in love with a son so precious. 

fly high, you've got wing's

Umm... Definitely one of those #kodakmoments !

My favorites from our recent trip to Banff/Jasper National Park taken on Kodak Gold 200 film.

A peaceful moment with my boyfriend and friends.

Literally I was thinking about a Christian artist named KB. He has a song called armies and in his verse that line popped up in my head. I knew I was going to make that my caption on Instagram. So I grabbed my wife and did what we do best made a Kodak moment. 

This was an incredible experience from start to finish and one photo sadly doesn’t do it any justice. We were fortunate enough to win a sunrise hot air balloon adventure tour over Dubai’s desert, which included vintage Land Rover tour across the sand dunes, and gourmet breakfast at a traditionally authentic Bedouin style camp. The morning was perfect from start to finish with memories that will last a lifetime - definitely made the 3am start all the worthwhile.

My darling Violet with her wild hair, pine cones, and wee little boots. 

On a hike with family, we came across a monarch with a broken wing. 11 year old Ruthie decided to carry the butterfly off the trail and place her on a butterfly favorite - milkweed. This photo was when she picked her up. 

Sweater Weather. Diesel modelling his new hoodie in a 1936 Chevy truck. 

Enjoying a peaceful lunch with the family after a beautiful hike up Blue Hill Mountain in Maine. 

Finally made the jump to start shooting analog using a Nikon FM2. After a crash course in  f-stop and shutter speed, I’m pretty happy with how my first few rolls turned out. You get all the fall feels in this picture from my recent camping trip to Pokagon State Park in Indiana, celebrating my 33rd birthday! 

We went out to go pick pumpkins. It's been a crazy year for all of us, it's all about making the most out of these moments.

When we took this picture Karsyn had just woke up. He knows he’s handsome and has a cute face. At that time I wanted to take a picture with his LoveHomie Shirt. So I was holding his hands and and was trying to get him to smile and just take a sweet picture and we did! It was a perfect Kodak moment♥️ I told his mom he can be a model, well he needs to be a model. Shoot if he has to start with #lovehomiebrand so let it be!!

Just a family Kodak moment in the beautiful city of Chicago 

I went to Zihuatanejo some weeks ago to make a fashion shoot.

The first days went fast because of the production and we didn't have enough time to sit down by the beach and enjoy a drink until this moment of this photo.

I love the fact that is the first of the roll after the shooting day and it represents exactly the moment I was able to enjoy a delicious spritz next to the beach.

After some rushy days and creative days, it made me remember that I love what I do.

Hanging with my best girl in our favorite place!

I have not seen my mother’s hair out in over 20 years. She always wears a head wrap. This picture is a rarity. It’s taken to acknowledge the role she played in me loving my hair as it is. I’ve hopefully passed on this love to my daughter and to many many more as a practicing hair coach. 

A magical night with my little princess ? 

Took Lucile on a walk through the UW campus and just waited for her to work that magic of hers. It was a simple stroll but ended up with timeless moments.

Se poser près du feu, au cœur de la forêt 

Fun loving moment with my precious long haired Dachshund Harry. He is the love of my life. 

I took this two weeks ago when my family got a little vacation far from the city of Bandung after 8 months of lockdown. 

It's a spontaneous snap from my little Olympus camera in which happened right after my sister saw a huge grass field near the resort we stayed in and lay herself up as if we were about to have a picnic. 

It feels surreal to see how much we have taken everything for granted.

May we survived this pandemic.

Laisser l’automne s’en aller.

Home with my Angel tree

We got to experience the first snowfall in Lake Tahoe that past weekend.

This image was taken for a series of promotional photos, of the artist Ailsa Tully to accompany her most recent single 'Drive'. The photo series was located on the beautiful Gospel Pass, Black Mountains, in the heart of Wales.

It was shot using a Contax 167MT, on Kodacolor VR 1000 35mm - which expired in 1985 - and was shot at @ 100 iso, through a Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f1.7.

Celebrating the first day of December 

Photo taken at the magical Tallinn Christmas Market which is my favorite place to be in December.

Today we wrote Santa his letter and posted it to him.????
