What is A Pen for Pearl?  A diary of sorts...a photography journal. 



A Pen for Pearl is dedicated to my grandmother, Gloria Pearl, in honor of her

faithfulness to handwritten letters and her love for the beautiful things in life.  

May her legacy be carried on through my journal as I correspond

regularly with you, always remembering the beauty that surrounds us.



I am a Tampa wedding photographer, and I specialize in capturing natural,

personal, romantic images.  I shoot primarily with film...a timeless medium.  I

would love for you to visit A Pen for Pearl frequently!  Consider it an

invitation to sit with me on my patio, enjoy a home brewed latte, and

browse through a handful of photographs together...



    

~Florida Sun~

October 3, 2011

This weekend was gorgeous…the sun and temp were perfect…and it looks like today is going to be more of the same. I’m absolutely drinking it up. After months and months of sticky humidity and heat, I now remember just why I love Florida in the winter so much.

The day this photo was taken felt quite similar. It was in the early Spring, the air was slightly crisp, and the sun was warm….just warm enough to take the chill away. I remember walking near the water, breathing in the salty air, and thinking that I would love to sit and spend an hour or so reading a good book or chatting with a friend at this sweet table.

Photographers, this was shot using my medium format Contax 645, 80mm Zeiss at 2.0, Fuji 400H film stock, rated at 200, metered to the shadow. Processed and scanned by North Coast Photo.

Side note…I found my first gray hair yesterday. A long, long silver hair. Seriously??

xoxo,
Gina Leigh
