Olivia Macklin on 35mm + Why I love Shooting Film | Los Angeles, California | Travel + Film
This October I visited my dear friend Olivia in LA while she was on hiatus from LA to Vegas. Needless to say, we had a great time basking in the glorious weather and eating our way down Abbot Kinney.

While I was in California, I exclusively shot film -- something I've been challenging myself to do more often. When I shoot film, I pay so much more attention to composition and aesthetics because I only have 30 or so exposures per roll (aka 30 moments to capture). Given how expensive it is to develop film, this forces me to stop and think before hitting the shutter.
Check out some highlights from my trip below.
All shot on my Canon A1 + Portra 400. I get all my film developed by The FIND Lab.

We collaborated with boho jewelry designer Hailey Gerrits while we were in Santa Barbara, California!
During our trip to California, we stopped in Santa Barbara and had THE BEST TIME. (Shout out to Sue and Ian, our new friends from Australia.) We stayed in a dreamy airstream trailer airbnb and enjoyed bopping around the super cute coastal town.
A recap of our entire trip will be up on the blog later, so for now, here are some of my favorites from a shoot we did at our airbnb in collaboration with Hailey Gerrits Designs, a boho jewelry designer.

Check out some shots from my recent trip to San Francisco!
At the end of January, I FINALLY made my way to California for the first time ever. I totally understand why people swear by life on the west coast--I could not get over the fact that I didn't need a jacket in January. Mind = blown.
Everything was so picturesque. Here are some shots from our time in The Bay Area. Hopefully I'll get back there sooner rather than later!
It may look like a bunch of rocks, but those are actually Elephant Seals relaxing on the beach!
