The Polaroid Automatic 330 Land Camera is one of my FAVORITE cameras that I own. I actually have a handful of them now, because the film is no longer produced and people just keep giving them to me! You can still pick up Fujifilm FP-100C film on eBay, but it’s typically very expensive. I still have a few packs of film I’ve been holding onto and I’m so sad that one day I won’t be able to shoot with this camera anymore! If you do decide to take the plunge and just try it out, I recommend getting the battery compartment converted to a AA compartment because the original batteries are no longer produced. You can get this done at a place like Blue Moon Camera in Portland, Oregon.

To be honest though, the Polaroid Land Cameras are incredible and I feel so lucky that I was able to try one out before the film is completely extinct. There is something so magical about instant film, and something so satisfying about peeling the film apart after you take your photo. I wish that a company like Polaroid or Fujifilm would start producing the film again, and maybe they will, but if you have the opportunity to try one out, definitely do it. You won’t regret it. I’ve tried a LOT of vintage cameras out over the years and this one is special. The photos are amazingly sharp, it’s super cool to look at AND you can use it to do double exposures. This is all I personally care about in a camera which is why it’s in my Top 5, for sure. I just posted a review and how-to on my YouTube channel, Cameras & Cats, so be sure to check it out if you’re interested in learning more about this camera!

Molly & Ryan's Intimate Winter Wedding at Snowy Silcox Hut on Mount Hood

 

I’ve been so cold for the last few weeks and I’m definitely starting to miss summer … and sunshine … and warmth. I can’t believe it’s already DECEMBER but I’m excited to see what 2019 has in store. I’ll be turning 30 in February AND I’ll be in Tokyo on my birthday which is a serious checkmark off my bucket list. We also recently found out we have to move out of our apartment in March so I can already sense that next year is going to be filled with lots of changes. Molly & Ryan’s wedding at Silcox Hut on Mount Hood was one of my favorite weddings ever and I can’t believe I haven’t shared these photos yet! I also photographed Molly & Ryan’s engagement session so be sure to check out that post if you want to see more of these two cuties. <3

Pink Glam-onade Glitter Shoot | Emily Mazour & Tree Sphinx & Blair Doucette

 

I'm obsessed with this shoot. I've been on a hiatus of sorts when it comes to fashion shoots. When I first moved to Portland I did so many shoots that I burnt myself out. But lately, with the emergence of spring and the sunshine finally on its way, I'm feeling super inspired for the first time in years. 

Emily Mazour was the creative genius behind Blair's pink and yellow hairstyle. Chelsea Sinks, also known as "Tree Sphinx", is responsible for the glitter and makeup magic. I recently acquired some new filters and experimented with Emily's ring light, and it was enough to convince me that I needed a ring light of my own (which I'm purchasing today)! 

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot. Make sure to scroll to the end of the post to check out my fav film photos (polaroids, holga, 120mm, etc.). Can't wait to work with this incredible team again!
