Halloween night

It was a crazy night...167 portraits in 3 hours! This was the 5th year I offered my free 30 second portraits for the the Vashon Isl. community. People ask me what I get out of this. I don't get paid, all expenses come out of my own pocket, but I've got a fantastic collection of images and it's a lot of fun to do something for my community.
As an artist, I love how each image becomes a story that can stand on it's own. Just look into the eyes of a child staring back at you. They are so proud of their costume!

Some day these images will be published into a coffee table book to help benefit a childrens charity.

Fall Maternity

I just couldn't pass up the fall colors this week in my front yard. I asked 4 brave women it they would pose for me in all their beautiful, pregnant glory, just so that I could satisfy a creative urge.
This "creative urge" that I get (pretty often) is almost as bad as my sweet tooth!
Here's a sampling of the portraits we created.

Fall Leaves are here!

My 2 big Maple trees are at their Fall peak right now. So, I thought it would be fun to have a spontaneous portrait day for anyone wanting to show up.
Tomorrow, the 22nd, 1-3 & 4-6
This will be a good test to see how many people are truly spontaneous on Vashon Island.
Plus, this is a great way to get that perfect image for your holiday cards, or start your holiday shopping.

Halloween 2009

Halloween is coming up soon and that means get ready for my annual Community Halloween Portraits at Cafe Luna.
Wear your costume and come get a free 30 sec portrait at Cafe Luna on Vashon Island. We start at 4pm and will be going until 7pm.
Yes, there will be a line, but don't let that scare you off. It goes quickly, I promise!
This ongoing project will eventually turn into a CoffeeTable book to benefit a childrens charity.
If you have been a part of the last 4 years of Halloween portraits and haven't signed a model release, but want to be a part of the book, please contact me. I can't use your image if I don't get your release.
I can't wait to see all the costumes. They get better every year!

Vashon Dreamboats Calendar

The Vashon Dreamboats are presenting a big fat check to the school board this week! We've raised more than half of our $20,000 goal.
With the holidays coming up, these puppies are going to start going faster. If you don't want to miss out on your very own copy of the Dreamboats calendar go to Amazon.com
Funny thing....These calendars are huge sellers with the over 60 women crowd.
Great gift for mom!

Senior series

I've been doing a lot of fun senior portraits lately. Gone are the days of stuffy studio poses. These kids are bringing the energy, thinking outside the box, even bringing their friends.

Customer comments

Every once in a while I get some great feed back from my clients. I had to share two from this week.
"You brought tears to my eyes...you are amazing, Rebecca; simply amazing!!
Thank you SOOOOO much. I'll get the check out tomorrow (and I haven't even
looked at the invoice...i know whatever you charged, it's well worth it)!"

"I cannot describe the overwhelming emotion that your photos gave me...the tears were flowin' sister! THEY ARE FANTASTIC!!!!! "
