I believe a picture is like poetry. Its something that comes straight from the soul . -

THE ARTIST. 
THE MOM.
THE  ADVENTURER.


Hello! I am Rebecca. I specialize in senior Portraits. I desire to create meaningful, soulful art of you that you will love!

I am a wife to my one true soulmate.
I am a mother to 3 amazing sons.
Family is my heart & soul.
I am a creative person. Have always been since a child. I rode horses on the beaches on the island I grew up on, reaching my hands out as far as I could, feeling free, riding fast.  I imagined I was on a deserted island like that from the black stallion movie. No saddle, just me, the horse, and the sound of its hooves melodically running, hitting the sand, creating the sound, and the ever-so-light splash of water over and over again. This, right here, and the wide, open sandy beach in front of me, was my piece of calm.     
Many life instances got me to where I finally began to photograph. I dabbled in it in high school .   However, when I became more serious about it, I started with my first SLR film camera, which I took in some black and white classes in Fort Lauderdale in the 90s, after years of using point-and-shoot cameras. I learned how to enlarge my prints and develop them in a dark room. My subjects were nature & my baby boys.  It's been a long while since, and many years went by while I viewed photography as a hobby, but I wanted more. . . It wasn't until  2008 that I pursued this photography venture for others, wanting them to see themselves in photos. It continues to keep evolving. I started out by only photographing children. I was terrified to photograph anyone other than a child! I related to them so easily, and it was fun!  As time has passed, I can say I truly enjoy photographing other genres. I love helping high school girls to feel good about themselves and to help create compassion & self-confidence from the inside out. 

Travel? Yes, of course I do! I dream about my next adventure often!  I am crazy about horses and have been my entire life. My dream is to be able to ride on the beach again one day, as I did most of the years while I grew up. 

I long to find the place where all beauty comes from. Wherever it resides, I feel it is in everyone, even if you don't see it yourself. But it is there!  Beauty is love. It is the real you. Love allows us to see the beauty in the simple things. The beauty of a touch, a hand hold, the way the wind blows in your hair or across a field, the mountains in the distance, the dirt beneath your toes, a flower that tiny hands picked to bring to you, the gaze you're given from a loved one. It's not one thing you see... but the collection of all things in our lives. 

I am beyond happy that I can share my passion and this gift with others. I truly feel a connection with each person I photograph and I put my heart into every image I take of you. I love it so much when I capture your authentic, honest self.

Our lives are not always perfect, but
I feel there is beauty in our moments of NOW,  whatever journey you are on in life. ​

Photos, to me, signify who we are and who we really desire to be.  Let's stop time for a moment and let me capture this side of YOU! 

 You know the saying , " the eyes are the windows to the soul ..."
I believe it and if you let me I'd love to capture it for you ! 

Let's get started!

LET'S DO THIS

Live the life you 

I love poetry 

“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion , which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it , it moves again since it is life."

 ~William Faulkner

 


I love horses
