From a "technically-good" or "breathtaking" standpoint this is probably one of my least favorite months. But for capturing Ellerie at play? Instant favorite. There is so much imaginative play happening in my house right now and I'm so glad to have just a piece of it on film.

Favorites from this roll are easy – the one where she's serving her lamb an onion (her expression! her careful hands!) and the last one where she's "on the phone" with Paul.

These photos are part of my "film project" where I take a roll of film of Ellerie each month. You can see all of these posts here. I shoot with an old film camera similar to this and this lens. I have been using Kodak Portra 400 film. I have my photos printed at Nelson's Photo Supply. These images are un-retouched digital scans of the film.

    Ah she’s so grown up all of a sudden. Amazing how quick they change sometimes, isn’t it? One week your little baby, the next a proper pre-schooler! She’s gorgeous!

    These are beautiful! Can I ask what mode you keep your camera on when you shoot these? I shoot manual on my digital but with film I always end up overexposing when I attempt manual. I’m going to have to order some portra – I love the colors.

    they’re all lovely – but I find the “post bath” one and the feet on the stool at the sink particularly enchanting x

    So glad to have you posting pics–just came here “to check”. I TOTALLY thought the same thing about her serving the lamb. Such a gracious hostess. What a sweet child. . .hoping all goes smoothly with E and baby sis.
