A father who keeps showing up, who takes the time to spend quality time, and never thinks his kids are too old to give night time cuddles. This is the good stuff! Happy Fathers Day

Hi it's me. Well, that's not me, that's Kayla - the extraordinaire behind But it's me, Becca writing these words. I've been silent here on Instagram for six months now. I can't believe it's been that long but if I'm being honest, I just need a break from the constant need to be online in race to be relevant. I needed some time to myself, to take care of myself, and the silence to listen to my own inner voice. The time has been well spent, and I can honestly say that I'm in one of the most solid spaces in my entire life and for the first time I am completely content with who I am and my place in this world.

My camera is still in hand and always will be, but I have some exciting things brewing behind the scenes in both my photography life and my personal life. I'm not quite ready to share all the news yet, but for now I'm going to gush over some of the new people I've been working with such as this beauty right here.

It wasn't long after I moved here I found and began taking Buti Yoga classes with Kayla. It is movement unlike anything I've ever experienced before - a fiery mix of yoga, earth pounding energy, and flowing all to the sounds of modern beats. I fell in love with the class and the energy of the studio. I approached Kayla and asked if she wanted to work together to help build my branding portfolio and just a few weeks ago we got to make magic together. This is the first of many photos you'll see from this series, but I'm excited to be moving Becca Studios in a direction that supports women standing in their power.

When a wedding guest grabs your camera and takes a picture of you! Good times in Newport, RI this weekend.

This June I was lucky enough to have two amazing weddings at BR Cohn Winery just a week apart. Everything about this one was to die for and they day couldn't have run any smoother. A gorgeous location, super sweet bride and groom, and awesome planners made this one extra special.⁠

I seriously have some of the most amazing couples, get to photograph in some of the prettiest places, and work with some of the greatest vendors. This intimate Sonoma wedding was a dream come true.⁠

My first visit to Martha's Vineyard was pretty fantastic. It was a quick trip, but one that I will never forget. For our 15 year wedding anniversary, Christian and I took the ferry to the island and rode along the coastline from Vineyard Haven to Edgertown. Along the way we stopped in Oak Bluff to check out the quirky Summer Camp cottages, shared a beer on the beach where Jaws was filmed, and then continued through town to our hotel. We spent the rest of the afternoon window shopping, exploring the lighthouse, and soaking in the sun! It was one of the nicest dates we've been on yet and now that the kids are getting older, it's something I'm looking forward to doing more of in the future.⁠

This wonderfully talented woman keeps popping up into my feed these days as she's been doing some pretty neat collaborations with some of my favorite shops. Lindsey of is one of those people who just brings life and chicness to everything she touches. I had the pleasure of photographing her just days before I moved East and to date, it was one of my favorite editorial assignments. ⁠
⁠
Her love and care for houseplants is incredibly infectious and she has built a really cool design business around the passion. If you are like me and strive to create an indoor oasis, I highly recommend checking out her feed where she has tons of tips and inspiration.⁠

I have some really fantastic clients, work in some really gorgeous locations, and get to work with some really great vendors. This wedding at the end of last summer was one for the books. Well actually, it did end up getting a spread in wedding issue a couple months ago.⁠
⁠
Social Media is a tough one for me. I'm often silent here in the meta world, but I really shouldn't be. The amount of gorgeousness I'm surrounded by really deserves to have a spotlight, so I have a challenge for myself. I'm going to post every damn day for one month strait. I know a lot of you are like "psh, that's nothing," but I also know there's a gagillion other creatives out there just like me who have a hard time putting themselves front and center.
⁠
Are you an introverted creative that has to force yourself to let your light shine? If so, give me a holla!!⁠

Go figure I missed my Instagrammers obligatory "First Day of Spring" post. So to make up for it, I'll share some shots from our Exodus adventures last month. We swam with pigs, relaxed by the ocean, hung with iguanas, and Milo became quick friends with a crab named Jerry. It was a good time and a much needed reprieve from the New England winter. ⁠
⁠
Back home on Cape Cod...buds are just now breaking, weather is warming, and I'm starting to get hopeful that some sort of Spring isn't too far off.

02/18/2022

I promised I'd share the story of why I choose Becca Studios as my new photography business name. So here it goes.⁠
⁠
The simple answer is, Girl Power!⁠
⁠
But, if you know me, you know I'm kinda complex. Nothing is as simple as two words (thanks to my overactive analytic philosophers mind), so here's the longer story:⁠
⁠
Although it more likely started during the movement in 2017, my true understanding of feminism didn't come to fruition until last year. Although I've always considered myself a feminist by design, I don't think I truly understood what that meant to me. It wasn't until one day while driving down the road that it hit me like a ton of bricks.⁠
⁠
What I realized is that generation after generation all the women in my family (and every other family) have been stripped of their maternal identities. At birth, I was given my fathers name, at marriage, I took my husbands name and I hardly thought twice about it until that one day while driving down the road. My identity (at least by name) is remnants of the day when the doctrine of coverture emerged and women had no legal rights of their own. They were considered property of their fathers or their husbands.⁠
⁠
That takes me to my new studio name - Becca Studios. The name symbolizes personal freedom as a woman entrepreneur. Becca is the name I most identify with personally and by removing the surname from the business I feel more connected to myself as an artist and female sole proprietor. ⁠

As my Spring weddings are postponing and moving their celebrations forward to new dates, my heart goes out to all the couples who have had to navigate through these crazy times. I know very well how much effort it takes to plan a wedding and I know my couples pour their heart and souls into making their big day perfect so the idea of having to shift everything around to accommodate a new date is no easy task. One thing I know for certain is once that day does come (and it will) it will come with so much anticipation, excitement, and love that your heart will explode with gratitude. There is a light at the end of all of this and post pandemic weddings are going to be full of so much amazing energy!

This was one of the most memorable elopements I've ever photographed. Not only were R&J amazing to work with and all of our locations for the afternoon stunning, but we encountered something I've never seen before in all my years of being on California beaches. As the ceremony concluded and we were turning to walk down the bluff to the beach we see this man running full speed ahead from the parking lot to the beach with little dog and lama in tow. He charged strait to the water, and by the looks of it was gonna plunge right in with his animals, but then took a sharp left and proceeded to run up and down the beach. I've never seen anything quite like it! I tried to get him to stop to take a photo or two with the newly weds...but he wasn't having any of it. He was on a mission. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We ran into some locals from the nearby town who frequent Muir Beach and they have never seen or heard of this trio and were just a perplexed as us. I guess we will never know what his story is...but it sure was a great way to end our elopement afternoon.⁠⠀

I am always looking for true connection during our portrait sessions! I’m not interested in seeing you stare blankly into space or awkwardly at the camera. My job is to illustrate the way your heart is exploding on your wedding day.

To honor and remember her mother, Kate wore her moms beautiful vintage ring. It’s all in the meaningful details 💙.

I'm not gonna lie...I've never been a fan of "traditional" holiday decor. To me it's gaudy and red is my least favorite color (especially when paired with green). So, when I was put on assignment for to photograph the holiday feature for the Nov/ Dec issue that's exactly what I assumed I was going to walk into. Dang, was I pleasantly surprised when I entered into Interior Designer, Benjamin Dhong's winter wonderland Healdsburg home.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The decor was refreshing and light and gave off a holiday vibe without falling into the trap of your typical Christmas bling. His good friend and fine linen designer Julia Berger has always enjoyed designing high-end soiree's and provided her beautiful creations for this shoot. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Many of you visiting my wedding page is unaware that I share my time equally between my wedding business and commercial/ lifestyle photography business. I separated the two genres many years ago and operated as two totally different identities. This upcoming year I will be merging those two back together. I have a lot of work ahead of me in figuring out the best way to represent my duality under one brand or at least one umbrella brand. I'm excited and a little bit nervous about the change...but in my heart I know it's the right move. I love both styles of photography equally and my passion to get better and better in both areas is still very much alive. This merging is a true representation of me. ⁠⠀

There is nothing more special than knowing that I've been able to capture a couples wedding day just the way that they envisioned. Glowing reviews like these makes my heart smile.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
"Simply put: Rebecca is fabulous! We worked with her for our Sonoma wedding, and chose her because she was highly-recommended by our wedding planner, knew our venue and the surrounding area well, and came off so easy and fun to work with over the phone. We decided not to do an engagement session, so our wedding day was the first time she shot us. The final results were incredible - from the formal portraits to the detail shots to having fun on the dance floor. She truly captured the spirit of our day and her style is definitely timeless.Trying to pick the photos to go in the wedding album is going to be SO hard, because I love so many of them. She’s very easy to work with throughout the planning process, as well as on the day of the wedding she puts everyone around her at ease. She turned around the photo edits much faster than other friends who have gotten married, and the results are spectacular."⁠⠀

My heart goes out to all the people in my neighboring cities and towns that have had to leave there homes along with any certainty that they would have anything to go back to. I remember those feelings all too well. As I spend night three eating dinner by candlelight I can’t help but feel gratitude that I have a roof over my head and a family to hold close. 💖

Happy Wedding Saturday! Today I’m heading back to Ramekins, one of my favorite Sonoma venues for a much anticipated wedding. The team today is amazing and I can’t wait to work with some of the best people in the industry. The lights are on in the Valley, it will be a perfect 80 degrees, and the sun is shining on this beautiful Fall day. You couldn’t ask for it to be any better.
