FILM PHOTOGRAPHY

Embrace the timeless artistry of film photography

There is a certain poetry to film photography.
A softness that cannot be replicated.
A stillness that asks you to feel, not just look.

35mm film captures moments as they unfold—unrushed, unfiltered, and deeply human. It is imperfect in the most beautiful way, preserving light, movement, and emotion with a quiet honesty. This is why I choose to work with film, and why it holds such a special place within my approach to storytelling.

The Beauty of 35mm Film

35mm film photography is an analogue process, meaning each image is captured on film rather than a digital sensor. There are no instant previews, no second chances—only trust in the moment and an intuitive understanding of light.

Each frame is intentional. Each exposure considered.

The result is imagery that feels timeless, romantic, and effortlessly editorial.

"Mikaela listened to the brief I gave her and over exceeded expectations at our engagement shoot. She was professional, attentive and kind to work with. We adore our photos!"

Why I Choose Film

Film asks me to slow down.

To observe more deeply.

To create with care and intention.

I’m drawn to film for its honesty—how it renders skin tones softly, how it embraces light rather than correcting it, how it allows moments to exist without interruption. There is a depth and emotion to film that feels instinctive, almost nostalgic, yet entirely modern.

For me, film isn’t about recreating the past. It’s about preserving feeling. The fleeting glances, the quiet in-between moments, the way a day truly felt.
