Artist Standout

When did you get your start in the industry?

I started in the industry a couple of years ago!

What do you enjoy most about photography?

What I like most about photography is being able to capture a moment in time and be able to look back at the picture and feel like you are there again.

Who is someone who has inspired you in your business?

There are lots of people who inspired me but one of my favorite photographers are Twig and Olive Photography.

What is your favorite quote?

“If you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” –Ronald Dahl.

And if you weren’t doing photography right now, what else would you want to be doing?

If I wasn’t doing photography I would just want to spend all the extra time with my husband and children.

I am a mom to 4 girls and a step son! I love Starbucks Frappuccino’s, Coke and all things vintage. I love spending time at the beach with my family.

When did you get your start in the industry?

I officially started my photography business (officially, meaning I put together a website and started charging money) in 2009.

What do you enjoy most about photography?

What I currently enjoy most about photography is taking photos of families and showing them who they really are.  My biggest hope is that they look at their photos and say, wow…our life really is beautiful and amazing!

Who is someone who has inspired you in your business?

My first photographer crush (from back in my University days) and someone who has and continues to inspire me is Sally Mann.   She has inspired me to shoot what I love and in locations that you feel connected to, which is for me is photographing my children at our cabin.  I love how she doesn’t turn away from the messy and queasy parts of childhood as these are often my personal favorite shots.

What is your favorite quote?

My current favorite quote is a short one:  “The sacred is in the ordinary” – Abraham Maslow

And if you weren’t doing photography right now, what else would you want to be doing?

I’m Bee (short for Rebecca).  I am happiest barefoot, in the sunshine, at my cabin in Vancouver, BC, with a really good beer in one hand and my scruffy husband in the other. I love being surrounded by my 3 crazy kids and OCD dog. I am inspired by love and laughter and real life moments and truly believe that when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing.
