This is my dear friend…
She loves herself, and so do I.

















I admire that in a person… to be so comfortable with yourself, and to live without inhibition.
If you’d like to get naked with me for a shoot (just kidding… I totally keep my clothes on), send me an email at catherine@calimaportraits.com.

Julianna Rennard - OH MY! Your work so stunning! Every photo is so creative and photographed so perfect! Do you mind me asking what film you used on your MF camera? I have a Mamiya 645 but have not used it yet because I’m having a hard time deciding on what film to get. My favorite photos are the ones 6 photos up from the bottom where she is sitting on a green couch. That’s the film I’m looking for to accomplish that look in the White Balance. Thanks in Advance! YOU ROCK!
