children 
these are the film images that round out the gainor family session. i set out to shoot film and digital so i could make comparisons of the two formats, and film won out for me. these are direct scans – no editing on my part {that alone makes my heart smile}.
shot with portra 400, mamiya 645, processed and scanned by indie film lab
love this little family, and emerie is just about the smilingest baby i’ve ever seen!
david is quite the photographer, too… the one below is his.
now t.h.a.t.’s a stick!
these are just a few teaser images from the gainor’s recent family session. most of this session was actually photographed on film, so i’m patiently awaiting an email telling me my scans are ready!
when we were scouting denver for our luxury suit, i was an emotional mess. i loved our little house and the thought of moving into a smaller space far away from family and friends was scarier than i admitted to anyone. on one of our luxury suite scouting trips, i remember walking out of renovated air force barracks and tearing up at the thought of being surrounded by cinder block walls that would cost us double our old mortgage. our next stop ended up being where we signed our lease, and kim was our tour guide. as we were walking through the model suite, the tears came back…and kim was completely understanding. we could afford something that didn’t have concrete walls, and i could actually see us living in denver.
kim and troy were some of our first friends in denver, and they also introduced us to our church. they’ve been a huge blessing to us, and we were so excited when they told us they were having a baby! garrett is absolutely perfect.
last month one of my closest friends, emily, flew me home for the first time since we moved to colorado. she and her husband, bobby, just had their second baby, and she’s perfect! and my goodness kate’s big sister, margot, is so adorable, too! i’ll have to write another post to share her images!
i can’t really explain how great it was to be back in georgia. i should follow that with “i love colorado, and i don’t want to move back”. it was just clearer than ever how much my friends and family mean to me, and i just wish i would’ve had longer to visit with each one of them {and the friends i missed too}!
