Phin's World | Davis, CA Family Portrait Photographer

11.10.10

It has been almost two years since I first photographed Phin and his mom and dad (You should see his newborn blog HERE). Phin was just a little tyke, it is amazing to see how he has turned into a real miniature person. He is so funny, he is clearly the one in charge. Mom and Dad love him so much they can hardly stand it, and Phin knows it. This kid is surrounded with love, it shows in his smile.

Meet Judah | Berkeley, CA Family Portrait Photographer

11.08.10

This is Judah. He is a pretty cute little munchkin. We haven't known one another for very long, but I can tell, we are going to be pals. You see, Judah and I share more than just a common love for red sweatpants. Judah and his parents used to live in our flat, before we moved here. They moved just around the corner and now he is my neighbor. So, we share a neighborhood.

Confucious, I think you are on to something.

11.04.10

"Find a job that you love doing and you will never have to work a day in your life." - Confucius

I work, every day probably a heck of a lot more hours than I ever did in my previous life. That life when I held a job with set hours. Now that I work for myself I think I can easily say that I never actually stop working. But really, for me it isn't work. I LOVE what I do. That is why even after a long day of work (read:play) I still get the urge to pull over and shoot the amazing sunset. Before I ventured into this career I remember reading what other people said about being a photographer. They said it is extremely competitive.This is so true, especially in San Francisco. They said that it requires an endless amount of work and dedication. This is also very true. They said that you have to be careful not to let your passion fizzle away. When you make your passion your job, it becomes just that... a job. But for me, I think making photography a career has only increased my passion. I love documenting the special moments in people's lives, I love creating art and capturing the world around me with the little click of my shutter. So I am feeling very blessed, and I have to say: Confucius, I think you are on to something.

Sara Atkins:

Isn't it awesome?!?!? I was driving back from a portrait session and the sky was just glowing. I pulled over and grabbed this shot. I didn't even processes it, this is the image straight out of the camera. Isn't nature amazing?

Sara Atkins:

Thanks Rebecca! I did take it on Thursday, my jaw dropped when I saw it and I nearly crashed my car trying to get off the freeway to capture it. Thank you so much for reading along, I am honored.

Halloween for new parents | Woodside, CA Portrait Photographer

11.01.10

Halloween and I have been on a bit of a roller-coaster ride. As a kid, Halloween was a fun, magical day full of fantasy and of course, candy. We would race off in our costumes thrilled to see who could fill their pillow cases with the most candy. When the night was through we would find our way home to sort our candy into piles, taking stock of our loot. Then the bartering for our favorites would begin. As a teenager I struggled with the fact that I was no longer a kid and able to go trick-or-treating. As a college student I was annoyed by the fact that the dress code for girls at most Halloween parties required a scant amount of fabric. In fact, the more scantily clad one arrived the better. I wore an orange dress and called myself a pumpkin. It is true, as I have gotten older Halloween has lost some of its magic for me. However, after being invited to document a Halloween party I came to a realization. One day we will start a family and when that day comes the joy of Halloween will be back. If you could only see the antics behind the scene while trying to get this picture. Parents like to believe that Halloween is for the kids, but I am pretty sure it is quite a lot for the parents too.

The infamous "couch" pic turned out sooooo cute! Can't wait to see the others.

So glad that our lil "Ghoulish Gathering" brought back some reminiscent Halloween magic!
