Have a wonderful week everyone!!!
I was so happy to hear when this precious family found out they were having a girl! This super mom is beyond amazing, her three little boys are so polite, sweet and gentle with their new precious sister. All babies are such a gift, but to see families like this one who were so blown away at the miracle of this sweet blessing, well it’s humbling, beautiful and inspiring.
She is so beautiful… just look at those eyes….
They really couldn’t stop kissing her……this home was just filled with so much love and joy,… and peace too as long as we kept this sweet baby girl snuggled and swaddled! 
It was such a gorgeous day, so warm with the most perfect breeze, I could have hung out all afternoon with this amazing family! Thanks for having me!!!

Such an absolute sweetheart! I can’t decide which pic I love best. I do know that I can’t get enough of the one in the crib with that gorgeous decor!
Too Cute!!!
Amazing session! Absolutely amazing! What treasures you made for this beautiful family!
I love photography. Big surprise huh?
I love photographing people, especially my own people…my family. That’s where it all started. Although I did start learning photography and really enjoyed it before we started our family, when I had my own little ones it was a whole different world. I loved capturing this precious time. Capturing our story. I am so passionate about it, that photographs are so important, no matter who takes them. And I think printing those images for displaying on walls and in albums to enjoy is also so important. My walls are full of pictures, and my kids still pull out the scrapbooks and see their “stories”.
I know every photographer probably feels this way. It’s gushy and corny,… but it’s what is in my heart. That I have, and you have beautiful photographs of you loving your family, of this precious season of life wherever you are. Life is such a gift. I think photography has such a unique way of celebrating this precious gift. And it is important. That you not only have pictures of yourselves with your family, but that YOU make pictures of your stories too. All the time. And print them. You don’t have to have the big expensive camera, and the pictures you print don’t have to be perfect, they just need to make your heart happy.
But if you do have that big fancy camera,…. use it!
I believe there are so many of you out there (because I get lots of emails and questions) that may be intimidated by your cameras. You may have bought a DSLR camera and were disappointed it just didn’t take great pictures out of the box. The secret is….. it doesn’t make the pictures, you do. And it’s not as hard or scary as you think.
There are so many amazing resources out there! I recommend reading Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. It’s brilliant. And online resources, there just so many great ones! I love photography which is a great community of photographers and more resources. I have heard Clickin Moms is another amazing place.
And for those of you who are more “hands on” in learning, we have decided to do another, more in-depth workshop!! I am soooo beyond excited to meet some of you, and to show you how to take control of your images, to empower and encourage you to shoot more, to learn to use your camera. Because once you learn it,… it’s a skill you will always have that will benefit your entire family!!
Our Workshop will be held at the beautiful Hidden Oaks Wedding Venue in Rancho Cucamonga on June 2nd from 9am to 2pm. We will start with the basics and work within small groups showing you how to take complete control of your images shooting in manual mode and getting your pictures right in camera. I will be working with the wonderfully talented photographers Tara Sos and Megan Siana. If you are interested in this workshop or would like additional recommended online resources please contact me: rebeca@rebecairene.com
Happy Wednesday everyone!

It was a year ago when I last saw this adorable family. The littlest was brand new and I had so much fun photographing her! (Just like a few years ago photographing the oldest when she was a brand new baby). It is so much fun to catch up with each family and see their babies when they turn one, (and three).
Aren’t they just the most precious little girls?? They are such sweet sisters, I love the way the littlest would light up when her big sister was around and would run to her, and how gentle and sweet her older sister was with her. Soooo precious!!
She loves art and pink and purple and is super smart and such a sweetheart. At the end of our session she even ran to hug me, I have a feeling she has a gift of making everyone feel loved and special.
She could ask for anything with that look…so gorgeous!!
I loved catching up and hanging out on this perfect day in Claremont! Thanks so much!!!

We had less than a week to put together a shoot for images for Hidden Oaks, this gorgeous wedding venue. Hidden Oaks recently added a beautiful pergola and needed some updated images for online and print. I thought it would be so much better with an actual bride and groom and it definitely was!! Just minutes after posting for models, Amy contacted me letting me know she was getting married THAT very Saturday and would love to do “day after” images a few days after. It was perfect timing and they were the sweetest most perfect couple!!
And just for fun, even though I did love the above shot, I wanted her veil fluffed out a bit like this one below….so you can see below the fancy we way we did that…
My lovely assistant Nathaniel (my oldest who is such an awesome helper!!)
And in case you were wondering, to get these little lights to look like hearts, simply cut a small heart out of a piece of dark paper, hold it over your lens and the out of focus lights will look like hearts. Try it! (remember they must be out of focus lights)
We ended our perfect session with a few sprinkles (super happy it didn’t pour!!)…it was actually magical and I love that you can see them from the flash that was triggered behind them for some pretty back-light.
Congratulations Amy and Marc!! And thank you so much for such a fun evening!!!
Have a great week everyone!!
