Hello! My name is Rebecca and I am so glad you have found my site! From an early age I was interested in a wide variety of art forms.
A joke among my friends is that I have tried everything - even underwater basket weaving! (That is not entirely true as I have done basket weaving, but was not underwater at the time.) Two of my favorite pastimes are drawing and creative writing. Before I went to college, I had almost ten years of art instruction. Then, I received a degree in English with a Creative Writing minor. Now, as a photog
rapher, I combine my two loves in yet another form of art. As you may be aware, the word "photography," when translated from its Greek roots, literally means "light drawing." To me, this is a wonderful way of looking through the lens of my camera. Before photography came on the scene, people commissioned great paintings for their homes and those same paintings are valued even today. When I take a picture, I want to create something beautiful that you and your family will cherish for years to come. In addition to just giving you a pretty picture, which is the focus of many photographers, my goal is for your images to be more than the sum of their parts. The phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words," which inspired the name of my business, accurately communicates the value of good photos. Every person, couple, and family has a story worth writing down (and writing well). When looking through your pictures, you should be taken into the story again and again. You should enjoy every re-telling of your story just as you might enjoy re-reading your favorite book. With all of that being said, anyone can throw paint on a canvas or words on a page. However, not everyone can paint a masterpiece or write the next best-seller. In my work, I aim to give you a vibrant look at your story through the images I produce.
Just so you guys don't think I've dropped off the face of the earth, here is what my yard is full of this time of year! I've opted not to do a day of spring mini sessions this year for a variety of reasons. That said, if you need some new family photos or are getting married and want someone to capture your big day, feel free to reach out! I'd love to work with you!
I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting so excited for the spring! Every year, without fail, God reawakens the world with fresh colors, warmth, and light. It's also a great season for photos! If you're interested in booking a session, please reach out. I'm toying with the idea of either a Mother's Day Mini event or a Playground Mini event. If you have a preference, comment below. :)
Congratulations to newlyweds Brian and Jess! It was a bright and fun wedding and I enjoyed being a part of your celebrations. May you have many many years of laughter together!
Jessica Goofy and Brian Reed
I was asked the other day what kind of photography is my favorite, and while I love capturing pretty much every stage, there is something uniquely sweet about documenting a family as they introduce a new member. It was fitting to start off the new year with this newborn session from last week!
Valerie Gwen
We've made some changes around here and I hope you guys like them! I've also got a new website, so feel free to check that out - you might even see some photos from your session featured. :) As always, thank you for supporting my little photography business. I love getting to do what I do!
I got to meet this sweet and energetic family this evening, and we had a great little session!
Another day, another peak at a family session! I've known this couple for a few years now and they're such a wonderful combination of wisdom and fun. We had perfect weather at the park for their mini session and if you're wanting photos this fall, please reach out sooner rather than later - my October is filling quickly!

I had a great time last week catching up with this family! You know you have an awesome job when it feels like each session is just hanging out with cool people and their adorable children. :)
Thankful for the families that came out this morning for the fundraiser! And now praying the rain pushes through so we can do the evening sessions. :)
Getting all my gear ready for the fundraiser tomorrow!! Thank you to all who have signed up for mini session slots! :)
I couldn't help myself - I just had to share a couple more photos from this twin session! :) They were both so snuggly!

My last several posts have been of babies, and why stop the trend now? And if one baby is cute, then how about TWO? These twins made a quick arrival last Sunday and I was so excited to have the opportunity to capture their sweetness this morning. They were both cuddly champs and handled all the photos very well - you can tell they've been used to being snuggled close to each other!
Leah Grim
I love getting the chance to document families with their new members, and this was a fun one because I've been given the opportunity to work with this family since they were expecting their first baby. She's not a baby anymore, but a big sister with a lot of energy!
Emily Bynum
Our close friends added a baby girl to their crew, and last night I got to go snuggle her and capture some photos of their growing family! Isn't she precious? Yes, yes she is. :) Congratulations, you guys!
Also, if you need some photos, don't forget to contact me about my upcoming fundraiser mini sessions!!!

ADOPTION FUNDRAISER ALERT!
Are you looking to get some updated family photos? Would you love to donate towards adoption? Well, this September 9th at Bryan Park, you can do both! Our friends, the Smiths, are raising money towards adopting a child from Macedonia, and we want to help them on their way. The minimum donation is $50, which will get you a 15-minute mini session and a full gallery of edited photos! This is a great deal and a great cause, so get in touch before slots fill up!
Last weekend I had the opportunity to meet this couple and do some newborn photos for them. They were so much fun to chat with and their little one was so sweet the entire time...well, except for pulling mommy's hair! :)
More photos from the spring mini sessions! Both of these girls were so precious!
Loved meeting this family last night! We kept having to reschedule due to weather, and I'm so glad we finally made photos happen!
Getting so close to getting my spring minis out to these families, and felt I just had to share some of these!
Gotta love when an older sibling is trying to make you smile! Of course, it did end up making for a great photo!
Loved catching up with this family! There's something about documenting kids as they grow that makes time feel like it's flying ridiculously quickly. Didn't this family just introduce me to their youngest baby? How is he already a year old?
Well, spring minis are in the books for 2023! A big thank you to all the families who came out for photos. I had a blast with you all!!
Had such a great time on Sunday taking photos for this sweet family!
