Rebecca Whitney Photography - the Blog!

Welcome to my blog and thank you so much for visiting!!  I'm slowly sprucing up the site a little so there will be some changes showing up now and then, and some more header photos coming soon as well - all so exciting!

So a little about me: my name is Rebecca, and I love taking photos of babies, children, families, individuals, couples and of course, weddings!  My style is mostly photojournalistic - I'll give some directions on where or how to stand or where to walk, but then I look for the interactions and emotions to come out.  I love telling a story through my photos, whether of a wedding day with all its emotions and happenings, or of a family and the expressions and personalities of the children at their current age and moment in time.  My favorite photos are of people laughing, it's so real and so beautiful!  And my second favorite photos are of sweet moments that are so intimate and filled with love.

I love meeting new people through photography, I have so much fun with everyone I photograph, and I'm so honored to be able to capture a beautiful moment of life for people.  To read more about me, please click on the tab above entitled, "Info".   

If you'd like to contact me, you can use the "Contact" tab above, email me directly at rebeccawhitneyphotography@gmail.com, or call me at 204.952.9252.

Please feel free to browse any and all of my site and leave comments if you'd like!  You can use the "Categories" tab above, or if you are looking for a specific shoot, try typing a name or names into the search bar above on the right.

Thank you, and have a wonderful day!!!

Winnipeg Art Gallery - Joe Fafard Exhibition Opening

Friday, July 3, 2009 Posted in Events

Last week I was so privileged to photograph the public opening of the Joe Fafard Exhibition at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. I had never heard of Joe Fafard before but I was seriously so blown away by his work, by the range of it but also the emotions that he manages to create on the faces and in the poses of his sculptures. I had never been a big fan of sculpture before but I couldn’t stop trying to stare at each one as I was photographing other people looking at them. I’m definitely, definitely going to go back again so I have more time to look at each piece and really feel each one. And also, Joe Fafard seems like the nicest man! He was so friendly and cute and such a good person, and that makes me love his art even more! If you want to read more about Joe Fafard, click here for his website.

That same night was also the re-opening of the Winnipeg Art Gallery’s newly renovated rooftop sculpture garden. It was so amazingly gorgeous and peaceful, and the light was so beautiful, and the band, Les Six Crockes, was fabulous (and a number of people said the same to me, too!). It’s a beautiful venue, and I found out it can be rented out, too!

Thank you so much to Doren Roberts (Special Events Co-ordinator), Dr. Stephen Borys (Director of the WAG), Lana Siman (who works for Joe Fafard and was wonderful in pointing people out to me), and to Joe Fafard for being amazing, and I’m so happy I’ve discovered his work!!

Here are some of my favorite photos from the night, and also CLICK HERE to view a slideshow.

Little Paige (with her mom & dad)!!

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 Posted in Children and Families

Meet little Paige and her mom and dad, Leanne and Steve! I went to their house on Paige’s 2nd birthday to take some fun and fabulous photos - it was a beautiful, bright and sunny day and I had so much fun running after little Paige with my camera! I love that age, when little kids are starting to talk a lot (but some of it isn’t super understandable to non-family members!) and also have become their own little selves. The cutest thing was how Paige would say “okay” when Leanne would suggest something, oh she was so so cute!!

Leanne was so excited and I LOVED that she (with Steve’s help) brought out all kinds of furniture into the yard! Paige didn’t want too much to do with the couch but we managed to get a few cute ones (with the help of Smarties and Leanne asking Paige where “the lady” was (a.k.a. me), so Paige would look up at me and point)! And I loved that I got some cute photos of Steve and Leanne together, too! Leanne and Steve were having a birthday party for Paige later that afternoon so they were setting up some tents and games, and Paige got to open a few gifts while I was there and even got a cool Elmo bike from her grandma and grandpa - it made noises when she pressed buttons and she loved that!!

I had such a wonderful time with them all, and it made me want a little girl even more!! :) And it was even a little more exciting because Leanne has now officially announced that she’s pregnant again (about 15 weeks)!! I’m so happy for them, and Steve and Leanne certainly have good looking genes and already made one super cute little kid! Okay, time for the photos! I could definitely write more about many other cute little things that Paige did but then this would get really long! Thank you so much to Leanne, Steve and Paige - I loved hanging out with you and I’m so happy for all the excitement coming your way! Here are lots of my favorite photos from the day, and CLICK HERE for a slideshow from the day!!!

The Welburn Family

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 Posted in Children and Families

Meet the Welburn Family! I met up with them a couple weeks ago at Kildonan Park and had such a wonderful time hanging out and taking lots of fabulous photos! I loved that they were all so into the photos and getting fun group shots and family shots and couples shots and all kinds of fun stuff. And the kids, Cameron, Grace and Bella, were so incredibly cute and fun and funny! We started off near the little kids’ playground, made our way to the pond where the kids fed the ducks, then to another playground, then played with blowing some bubbles, and eventually went back to the first playground where Grandma and Grandpa searched out the ice cream guy (bribery is good!)!! :) The whole session was really fun!!!

I know they’ve been waiting anxiously for these photos so I’ll get right to them. Here are lots of my favorites, and you can see many more (and more of the story of the session) by CLICKING HERE to view a slideshow of the day. Thank you so much to you all, I love so many of your photos and it was honestly so hard to choose which to post and which to put in the slideshow. I’ll be burning your disks as soon as I post this so you’ll have the full batch very soon!
