Sometimes, you meet people who really make you think. They are people you will never forget. That’s the case with Bix and Brooksie. They are a great couple who are truly committed. They’re not only committed to one another, but to living in a different era. The photos tell the tale. Bix and Brooksie dress in 1930s attire everyday. They also do their best to use appliances and decor from the same time period. Bix even has a sweet 1930s motorcycle. When I arrived at their home, they were listening to music from the 1930s, which was playing on old record player. It was fantastic. It was a blast to work with them and I learned a lot about depression era culture at the same time. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed this unique photo shoot.
All of these photos, except for the last two, were shot on film with my favorite camera: the Contax 645 medium format camera.

Gina - I can’t believe that you shot those with a medium format camera!! I have one too and they never turn out as detailed as those. Lovely!
nicolle - oh i love these so much!
Jen May - Gorgeous!
San - What a wonderful couple and what wonderful shots. And even better that you did most of it on film! I know this sounds a bit crazy but I like the film shots more, because they are warmer, if that makes any sense. analogue is the way…
Glad to have found your blog, finally a photographer with a studio who knows how to take unusual pictures.
redbirdstyle - Very lovely. I am in love with these film shots. There is just nothing like it!

heather - this shoot is very “old school” — kind of a 1930s Ness/Capone vibe. love it!
