A couple of weeks ago, I attended the wedding of my friend Michael and his lovely bride, Diana. Nestled in a small garden, the ceremony was a beautiful one – small and intimate. I always felt that there is so much pressure involved for wedding photographers, but I surprised myself at how much I enjoyed capturing these moments. And using film, I was much more selective about the shots that I did take. Congrats Michael & Diana! Contax 645 | Fuji Pro 400H
Spending the day with my girls, and sending love to my mother! beautiful, happy mother’s day These pictures are beautiful. Gorgeous and very dreamy!
Nothing quite better than sun flare + film.
magical Yes, that is magical! The colors are pretty insane, in a good way. I have missed stopping by for pieces of your beauty. I love when the flare, as in this case, takes the form of streaks! Outstanding image! agreed! as a fellow film lover, it’s just the best.
And so it begins ….. Can’t wait for this baby girl to arrive. Yay! So soon! A belated congratulations from me!! How exciting, Azzari!
We packed up the girls and headed to beautiful Fajardo, Puerto Rico this year for spring break. We needed this break as a family. I booked this trip over a month ago, and it was worth every bit of preparation. Believe me, traveling this far with two little ones is quite a feat. The weather was beautiful – clear blue skies and temps in the 80′s. A welcome break from the springtime pollen in Atlanta. I love my home, Puerto Rico! So glad you were able to get away for a bit Oh, these make me so excited for sunny days at the beach this summer…
This drawer in my workspace is filled with all of my polaroids, taken with various cameras. Once I scan them, they end up here. Which isn’t so bad – it is quite a sight to pull open that drawer and see so much goodness! But I’ve decided that this has to change, so I have begun a “polaroid wall” – filled with favorites.
I’m using these as adhesives, and they are really working out so far. I’m not quite finished, but I’m loving the results. And this wall is definitely proving to be quite the conversation starter. Looking forward to adding more ~ wow, what a lot of polaroids! Love the look of them on the wall, what a fun way to enjoy them I love it! I was sad to discover my Polaroid camera stopped working properly and the film I had finally found all came out bad. Booo… Ah, beautiful! I would love to learn how to take photos with a polaroid! which brand do you use? absolutely beautiful, on the wall and in your drawer. love how you captured light in your room and love all your photos. Oh, it looks so lovely. I’m hoping to make one in our next home…
I’ve been replacing my morning coffee (temporarily) with warm, lemon water. Really easy – warming water in the kettle, and squeezing half a lemon into my cup. Definitely nice to have something warm first thing in the morning~ they’re beautiful… What a lovely alternative to coffee. Since becoming pregnant, I’ve given up coffee (though I crave it just about daily). Looks like I’m going to have to pick up a few lemons tomorrow :b my favourite drink to have first thing in the morning – although I usually do have a coffee later What a joy to find another photographer! You have made this simple concoction so romantic! *Sigh*… So, so lovely. It just looks like the perfect morning. I have been eyeing those boulder cups… I think I just need to go ahead and get them already… I’m not a fan of warm lemon water, but these are beautiful photographs. Oh wow, this looks so perfect.
Thanks so much for your kind words from my previous post~ I’m still loving this black and white film. beautiful – you do wonderful things with the black & white film I’ve recently rekindled my love affair with black and white film too. So, so gorgeous…
Our family is growing. We are expecting our third baby this summer. This is one of the main reasons I have been absent. The first trimester of this pregnancy has been, by far, my most challenging. Now that I am well into my second trimester, I am feeling pretty good (tired, always – but good). My heart has already grown to love three. I am looking forward to holding this sweet baby in my arms. My dear, I’m so happy for you. i saw your photo on instagram and commented already, but must again. congrats again! love the photos! i’m only just over two weeks from my due date and i can still remember how BAD my first trimester was. actually, it was bad up until 17 weeks! congratulations Congrats!

So very happy for you! xoxo How exciting, congrats! Beautiful you. Such thrilling news!

Awww, look at that gorgeous belly. Congratulations!!! You look great, lady! I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better. (Sorry I didn’t see this sooner.) Woohoo! I am so thrilled for you all!
It’s almost Spring – and I don’t think I’ve ever taken a break for this long! And it was needed, my friends. Sometimes it feels to good to take a step back, disconnect from the internet and really be present in the lives of those who mean the most to me. I’ll ease back in slowly, please bear with me – as I have much to share. And going forward, you’ll probably see more images, less words. Also, Birgitte Brøndsted a fellow photographer in Florence, Italy - is hosting a giveaway for a copy of On the Table, on her blog. Head over and leave a comment for a chance to win! Happy you are posting again. I can understand your need for a break, but I missed your beautiful photos. Will look forward to your new images as you “ease back”. I’m glad you enjoyed that time away from the internet. I’m sure it helped not to think about what to post for a while, and to shoot just to shoot. Still, I’m glad you’re back to share more photos. Breaks are indeed necessary! So glad you are back though! Taking a break is essential for the creative process, don’t you think? Breaks are good and necessary. Hope you are feeling like sharing now. I’ve missed the updates on this blog. welcome back! I’m looking forward to (hopefully) seeing your lovely posts on my dashboard again.

Images from a quick trip to New Orleans we made this past weekend. It was great to get away, enjoy breakfast in bed, and see the sights and sounds of New Orleans. The weather was overcast, but perfect for walking around the French Quarter. I am looking forward to this new year. I always feel like the new year is a clean slate, a renewed chance to start new, start fresh. Surely, many good things to come. And many thanks to Kirstin for inviting me to participate in “Conversations” on Mortal Muses. Happy New Year! These are exquisite, Azzari. A very happy new year to you and your family.

A recent baby shower for my cousin. It was my kind of shower – a Sunday afternoon filled with tea, coffee, and cake. The newest baby girl in our family made her debut on Sunday! wonderful photos, love the second & last images oh i love these kind of stories! the way we learned what we learned, the way we thought when we tried to work it out with our cameras, what we wanted to accomplish, and the way we felt when we developed the film… beautiful light here! ah and i just left a comment on the wrong post, i was reading the one below about your first work in film… Hi just beautiful! love the collection of images you have shown! Sarah x you get the most beautiful colors nikkimckenziephotography.wordpress.com
As I was digging through my archives recently (trying to organize my files), I ran across these images that I took at a friend’s home. I loved how she had her tea set displayed near the window. This is some of my early film work – when I wasn’t quite sure of my camera settings, light, film, etc. I had just started experimenting with my Pentax K1000. I am reminded of how far I have come. How I can pick up that camera now and be confident that I will get the shot I want. I love how images take you right back to that very moment. I remember exactly what I was thinking and feeling in this very moment. Unfortunately, I don’t remember which film I used for these shots….. What lovely photos. Isn’t it neat how often times, photos tend to bring us right back to that specific moment? I agree with what you have said about photos taking you back to the moment. I too was recently looking back at past images and remember what my thoughts were at the time. It makes every photo worthwhile even though it may not have captured exactly what was wanted. Though you describe these photos of the tea set early work and you had just started experimenting, I find them quite beautiful and perfect. i love your friend’s teapot! You’ve come a long way! It’s always interesting to see how you captured things before you really knew what you were doing, and what kinds of mistakes you made. I used to be so afraid of taking photos in public that I would be shaking and would get a ton of blurry shots. I also had a tendency to get too close or not close enough so when I look back, only a small percentage of my photos still appeal to me in some way. And to think I called them “work”. Ha! |

They are a gorgeous couple and I ADORE where they had their ceremony! So beautiful and romantic…
Your pictures are beautiful. while i am not a photographer, I can’t believe you used a film camera. The bride, groom and the setting were all beautiful.

what a lovely setting & they look so gorgeously happy
These are perfect! What a gorgeous place for a wedding.
what a lovely wedding, and beautifully captured.
I am DEFINITELY getting married in a garden! Whenever that is
