Just wanted to share the film scans we got back from Meg and Kevin's engagement session. We shot these a few months ago (and Meg and Kevin were just married last weekend) but we are just too excited about them to not share.

We're loving the look of film! And what an awesome couple we had to photograph that day!

Fave fave fave!

To say we're obsessed with the images we're getting back from our film camera would be a mild understatement. We blogged with our (digital) favorites from Kassi and Ian's engagement session a few weeks ago, but we just got in their film scans from Richards Photo Lab and boy oh boy are we in love! We can't wait to shoot their wedding in Wyoming next summer on film + digital! Yippee!

Earlier this fall we took a trip to Indiana to visit our family up there. Luke is originally from Indiana and one of the biggest perks of our job and of being self employed is that we have the freedom to go and visit our family there anytime we get a break in our schedule. We made a pact for this trip that any pictures we took on the trip (aside from iPhone pictures, OF COURSE!) were going to be with the film camera.

We finally got around to sending our film from the trip to Richards Photo Lab in California, and just got the film scans back this week. With our film scans, we've also decided to get actual proof prints back with our scans, so... now, guess what we're going to do! Have actual PRINTS of these pictures to keep as memories.

These pictures were from a lazy Sunday afternoon out at Luke's sister and brother-in-law's farm. Luke and I had been into the "city" that morning for church and had a big lunch at Outback (my favorite croutons and ranch dressing ever) and then we headed home to change clothes and get ready for an afternoon of fun with the kiddos. We're blessed with several nieces and a nephew in our life, but these two little girls are the star of the farm and bring so much joy to our life. I am thankful for these pictures of us!

They have chickens. Luke is so jealous.

It was cold, and it was a jammie day for them. I wasn't even aware that there was a term called "jammie day" until my amazing sister-in-law Cassie taught me about it. How cute are these kiddos! This one's going on the fridge!

We're really loving our film camera. If you're a photographer and you're kinda thinking about getting into film photography but are intimidated, we say GO FOR IT. If you know how to work your digital camera and are shooting in manual and consistently getting proper exposures, then shooting a film camera isn't that different. It's so much fun.

The worst part of it all is the wait to get your scans back. But the best part is, you get them back and they are ready to go - no editing (if you shoot it right.) On our slow internet the time it takes to download the scans (about 1 hour per roll) is also lame. But again - it's worth it!
