"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Sofia  -  Looking on to one of her most favorite stores in the entire world, "Targeet"
Alba  -  Getting a proper diaper change in the back of the car

This week's portraits were late, but with good cause - they are film portraits and needed to get processed and scanned.  I've had the itch before, but medium format has been tugging at my heart strings again so, out came our trusty Nikon 35mm to help ease my longing.  There is just something so magical about not knowing what to expect when you get your negatives back, about sustaining yourself from the instant gratification of a digital portrait. It's pretty neat, I'd say.

    just love these portraits. love that they are on film. there is such a beauty in the intention.

    my father had a darkroom when I was little and lately I have been reflecting on my time spent there with him. I have been thinking of all the different smells of the chemicals and the red light glow and how, unless I build my own darkroom, my boys will never now the process and intention of actually developing your own film.

    thanks for the reminder that people still do just this. xo

    Beautiful photos, Kate. I need to develop my Holga film from our vacation, but have to find out where to develop them first. It is a thrill that digital just doesn't provide.

    These look great. Film has always been my favorite. P.S. The new hippo prints are my favorite to have little Lucy wear :)

    Great photos. Luke has been enjoying using film also, and you just can't beat the excitement of getting the film back from the shop and seeing how they turned out!

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once.
