Dorian :: Fun Portraits!!

A little while ago I went out with my wonderful friend Dorian to take some photos of each other for our respective profile photos and blogs and websites! We had SUCH a fun time, and found some amazing fields and a muddy dirt road and we played in the wheat, it was so fabulous! It was a little cold but not too bad, and there were some super cool gray skies that we loved. Dorian recently started her own photography business, she’s specializing in newborns and also loves doing family, children and maternity sessions. You can check her blog out HERE!

I’m keeping this short cause 1) I already typed this once and it got erased, and 2) I have so so so so so much to do and am more than just a little stressed!! I had such a great time hanging out with Dorian and I can’t wait for our next photo exploration!!

Dorian has THE BEST smile and laugh!! I know she doesn’t love her big smile but it’s so her and makes me so happy seeing it and she’s so gorgeous!!! These first two photos are two of my favorites!!

LOVE!!

Dorian is always so stylish!! I need to take lessons from her!!

I love this next one!!

I LOVE this next portrait, so pretty and colorful and Dorian looks so beautiful (as always!)!

This next one is I think my favorite from the whole shoot, there’s something about it I love so much – the feeling of it, so peaceful and dreamy!

And finally a silly one for the last one, so cute and funny!!!

This is the start of my new blog, where I can detail bits of my life and of my venture into the photography business. It’s very exciting! And now I can post some photos here and also slideshows, which is wonderful!

The blog is one part of my new computer and soon-to-be advertising presence. I have my website domain purchased (www.rebeccawhitneyphotography.com) and have a holder page there for now. I’ve also purchased a website design from bludomain.com, but before they can load the page onto my website I need to make sure of all these settings with my hosting company (like FTP and PHP settings, which I know nothing about). On Monday I’ll call my hosting company to hopefully get them to help. And then I can start getting my website ready to go!

In other very exciting news, my parents are coming to visit next week Friday (I’m SO excited for them to see our new place and new city!) and they’re bringing with them, for me, a new MacBook Pro AND a new Canon 40D camera with 50mm, 1.4f lens!!!! I am SO SO SO happy and excited!!!!! And I’ll be paying them back of course, but I’m just so happy to be able to get these things now.

The MacBook Pro will replace my very old PC that runs so incredibly slow. It takes me FOREVER to edit photos on Photoshop Elements. With the Mac, I’ll be learning to edit with Lightroom and Photoshop and I’m so looking forward to it, and it’ll be fast and reliable and so so so good to have a good computer!!! And the Canon 40D will become my new primary camera, with my Olympus E-500 serving backup duty. The thing I’m probably most excited about with the new camera is being able to take pictures quickly and not have to wait for the camera to buffer after each photo. I’m so looking forward to reading the camera manual and practicing so I can really learn to use it well.

I want to write more, to post a bio on myself, to write out a list of goals for myself – both personal and as it relates to my photography business, to post some recent photos, and to customize this blog template. I’ll do all those things soon. Right now I’m finishing up my first slideshow, of photos from my friend Sue’s baby shower, and I want to get that completed so I can embed it here in my new blog, along with a few photos from the event.

Creating this blog is one of the many things on my mental list of things to do, so now I can check one thing off!!
