Japan Polaroids ✨

Lately I’ve been loving the idea of keeping polaroid photos of special moments in life.

The start of this hobby was my honeymoon that literally was documented using my instax mini 12. I got it as a gift for my wedding and took it with me to Japan. Here’s a preview of a few photos I took that I digitalized using the instax app to summarize our trip.

For my next trip I will be taking my instax mini evo ✨
