</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">YAY!!!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Head on over to <a href="http://www.rebeccaallenphotoblog.com/">www.rebeccaallenphotoblog.com</a> to check out the new blog home for Rebecca Allen Photography!!!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I'm calling the new blog site a photo journal because there'll be less emphasis on text and more emphasis on the photos. I chose the horizontal layout to be different (although it's growing in popularity), but mostly because I think it's a better way to showcase story-telling imagery.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">The blog/journal will continue to be a mix of personal and business posts. In fact, most of the posts that go up in the next few weeks will be on the personal side. If you're a prospective client interested in my family commissions, my personal posts will give you a good idea of how I approach family photography.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Because of the new layout I decided not to import old blog posts from here into the new site. The old images are not the right size for the new layout and, honestly, I just wanted a fresh start to go with my new <a href="http://www.rebeccaallenphotography.com/">website</a> that launched a couple of weeks ago. That said, the new blog is looking pretty empty now, but I have lots of new content lined up, so stay tuned.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">New goals now are to work on my SEO for the sites, order new marketing materials and to start advertising more of my services within the local community. I stayed in the shadows for much of my first year in business, as I was really just trying to find my place in the industry. Now that I have a clearer vision for my business and the niche I want to serve, I feel more confident in my ability to make this dream a success.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">So, please, head on over to the new journal. Take a look around and let me know what you think!</div>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15811323217774702306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519409341810675955.post-60228545315270510692011-03-26T12:42:00.000-05:002011-03-26T12:42:27.562-05:00Rebecca Allen Photography - The new site is up!<div style="background-color: transparent;"><span id="internal-source-marker_0.943371006520465" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccaallenphotography/5561756604/" title="RAPwebhomepage1 by Rebecca Allen Photography - Columbia, MO, on Flickr"><img alt="RAPwebhomepage1" height="339" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5147/5561756604_8f16eac1a1_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><div style="background-color: transparent;"><span id="internal-source-marker_0.943371006520465" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’m pretty excited, to say the least.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For a while now I’ve needed a permanent space to display my portfolio images and to provide more information about my work. Yes, I have this blog, but it was never meant to be long-term. In fact, it’s going to be replaced in a couple of weeks, but that is an entirely different topic that will be discussed soon enough. For now, let’s rewind to two years ago...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In December of 2008 I was scoping out Black Friday sales online and came across a very simple website template and impulsively jumped at the chance to buy it... but, I jumped too soon! There it sat, in cyberspace limbo, unused because I didn’t know exactly what to fill it with. You see, I had this desire to work for myself because I had stalked photo blogs for years, dreaming that I could do what others were successfully doing. Let’s just say I’ve come a long way since then, slowly learning the ins and outs of what it takes to get a small business up and running, and I’ve only just begun.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On February 10, 2010--just over a year ago--I received my official Certificate of Organization from the Secretary of State, certifying the formation of my company, Rebecca S. Allen, LLC. Then in April of 2010, I officially announced the creation of Rebecca Allen Photography (my “doing business as” or “fictitious name” as it is legally referred to). I kicked-off the creation with a launch party that coincided with a reception and gallery show of my work during one of our local Artrageous Friday’s events. Since then it’s been quite the learning experience and a reminder that sometimes self-employment isn’t all wine and roses (for instance, book keeping=no fun). I have grown so much already and I’m thankful for the clients this past year who’ve connected with my photography and who’ve put their faith in me to document their lives. Thank you for hiring me and welcoming me as your personal photographer.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So yes, this is an exciting time. It’s a time of transition and new direction, and now I have a platform to showcase the best of my ever evolving work. Since I purchased that template a couple years back I’ve done a lot of soul-searching in regard to the direction that I want to point my business. Specifically, I’ve spent a great deal of time this past year breaking down just what it is about photography that I enjoy so much. What is it that drives me to pick up a camera on a daily basis? What’s the inspiration? What’s the purpose? From a business standpoint, what it is that I have to offer that others are not doing? Why do I think I can succeed in an industry and a market that is already saturated with successful (and sometimes not so successful) photographers? Those are tough questions, but I know they’re important ones to answer if I am to go any further. Yet, do not fear, for further I will go! It may not be at the speed I want, but with this new direction and determination, I will forge on with this exciting and unfolding career path. </span><br />

Last Saturday, as I wound my way through a crowd of ladies and gents dolled up in 20's-inspired attire, I heard several exclaim that the Dupuy's 5th annual Mardi Gras party was, "the best one yet" and, "they really outdid themselves this time". The theme? A Roaring 20's Speakeasy, as modeled by the impeccably dressed hostess and host above. The private affair promised fun for all invited, so long as they remembered the top-secret passphrase required to enter. Once inside, guests were greeted by the sounds of a hoppin' swing band and taken back to an era of flappers, gangsters, gambling and hooch. It really was the bee's knee's! John and Sarah -- thanks for hosting such a splendid affair and inviting me back to document it this year. You're the cat's meow!<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccaallenphotography/5490264177/" title="DSC_1073 copy by Rebecca Allen Photography - Columbia, MO, on Flickr"><img alt="DSC_1073 copy" height="472" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5051/5490264177_50bacfdbea_o.jpg" width="710" /></a><br />

Don't you just love how everyone played their part? Look at these two below.

Some might also define it as the day to buy overpriced flowers and chocolate covered strawberries. And some of us might not acknowledge it all. But for 15-year-old Mariah, Valentine's Day has taken on a whole new meaning, and it couldn't be any sweeter. This past Monday, February 14, 2011, Mariah became an official Latimer family member through an adoption proceeding witnessed by a dozen close family members and friends.<br />
<br />
Although Dena and Samantha Latimer were married in a March 2009 ceremony in Martha's Vineyard, MA, Missouri law currently allows for only one of them to adopt Mariah now, with an option to complete a second-parent adoption at a later time. Although Dena officially took the stand as the legally adoptive parent, Samantha stood there in spirit and watched from the benches as Mariah was sworn in. The smile on Samantha's face said it all. She didn't have to be standing up there to know that Mariah was just as much hers as Dena's. They were both getting a daughter that day.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccaallenphotography/5452657626/" title="courthouseflagsduo by Rebecca Allen Photography - Columbia, MO, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5057/5452657626_88dc2cf12a_o.jpg" width="710" height="527" alt="courthouseflagsduo" /></a><br />
At this point I have to interject and say that the following court photos would not have been possible without the kindness of two people: the Latimer's attorney and the Judge. Long story short, camera's are not looked upon lightly in the courthouse. Period. I knew this from my days of newspaper photography and basically using your camera in any governmental building is a challenge. The other kicker, I had no time to research or try to make contacts for permission to photograph since I booked this commission with less than 24-hour notice. Apparently the only photo ever allowed during adoption proceedings is a single cheesy posed shot with the judge afterward. Afterward?!?! What, are you kidding me? As if the most important moment to document during the whole experience is a staged snapshot of the family with an uncomfortable judge who just wants to get on with her morning. I don't think so. Enter super photographer Rebecca Allen here. I just couldn't see how I was going to walk out of that courtroom with only one photo. But, with some persistence (after going through two other "officials"), I was able to plead my case with the Latimer's attorney who agreed to speak to the judge on my behalf for permission to take photos. I don't know what the attorney said, but even the security guard was shocked that the judge permitted me to photograph. The whole thing lasted maybe 15 minutes and then it was over. And so as that chapter closed in Mariah's life, a new one began with a new last name and two proud Moms overwhelmed with joy to finally call her "their daughter". <br />

The raw emotion shown in this next set of photos is what documentary photography is all about. While editing these photos they reminded me of something Samantha had shared with me via email the night before the adoption. She wrote, "The overwhelming emotion that MJ [Mariah] displayed when she was given the news of our pending date and time was priceless. She laughed and cried, screamed and shook, all while trying to maintain her composure. It was a moment that we will never forget, it still gives me chills just thinking about it." <br />

I wanted to get these photos up yesterday but I had computer troubles. The following photos were taken yesterday morning between 8-10a.m. This was the state of downtown during the early hours of the snow removal operation. <br />

Hello! Oh, man, have I been a bad blogger or what!?!?!? Yikes. Well, all I have to say is that it's for good reason. GREAT reason, really. You see, since early December I finally decided to focus on pulling a website together. Also a new blog. No, not an update to this one, but a brand-spankin' new one to go along with the new portfolio site. Since I launched this little biz back in April I've never had a properly branded web presence to represent my style. Just this free Blogger blog that I was so proud to have customized on my own with a little self-taught HTML crash course. Don't get me wrong, it's served it's purpose as a platform for me to showcase favorite session and family images, but there isn't much else to it. I've always wanted something more informative and visually appealing, and I think the new look will fill the void. Anyway, that's where my focus has been the past two months. <br />
<br />
As I get closer to debuting the new RAP site and blog I'll post an update to let you know to be on the lookout. It's a really exciting time for me and I can't wait to see what 2011 will bring for RAP!<br />

<i>p.s. Seth snapped the fabulous photo you see above. As the family photographer, I'm not in many photos with Logan, so I cherish every image showing us together, posed or not. I just love Logan's expression.</i>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15811323217774702306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519409341810675955.post-38081562273510675382010-12-08T19:12:00.000-06:002010-12-08T19:12:32.539-06:00Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccaallenphotography/5245460388/" title="Untitled-1 copy by Rebecca Allen Photography - Columbia, MO, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5249/5245460388_02dba11ae0_o.jpg" width="710" height="534" alt="Untitled-1 copy" /></a><br />

When I arrived at the B house, these two playful faces greeted me through the window. Soon after, we all piled in the car and headed to the park followed by play time at home. It was an entertaining afternoon, complete with a mini four-wheeling adventure! Thanks, B Family, for letting me spend a fun-filled, lovely fall afternoon with you! <br />

Silence = Mischief. I only left him alone for a few minutes to check email. When I realized it was waaaaay too quiet, I made my way to his room and peeked in. BUSTED! <br />

But hey, it's washable marker and at least it wasn't on the wall. Instead of being disappointed in his choice to decorate himself, I did what any nostalgic-photo-mom would do. I documented it. <br />

As a newspaper photographer I always dreaded sports assignments. Part of being able to successfully document sports action is knowing the rules of the game so you can anticipate the next move. And for someone like me who doesn't follow sports, anticipating the next move is almost impossible. Despite my lack of interest, I was the paper's evening shooter which meant it was my duty to cover sports and most of the time that meant high school football. I don't know that I ever really got "money shot" that my editor was looking for but I'd like to think that I at least improved a little with each passing game. <br />
Fast forward to now, six years later, and I still haven't perfected my sports-shooting skills. So, when I found out Justin and Lauren were planning on taking the boys to a park for their session and "tossing the football around" I thought, <i>oh, this won't be hard, it's not like high school football</i>. But you know what? It was! Those boys were all over the place! And not just with the football. They also whizzed around the park on their Razor scooters and explored lots of places of foot, and rarely together. There was hardly a time when I could get the whole family in the frame at once (that shot above was, like, one of three). So when I got home and assessed what I captured, I was pleasantly pleased. I may not be a sports or high-action shooter, but I think I managed to snag some good ones. When post-processing my favorites for the blog I realized that the majority of my images really stood out in black in white, so you won't see any color in this post. <br />
Justin and Lauren, thanks for the action packed afternoon. Enjoy!<br />

I'm including this last one just for Justin. It was taken the same day, but later that evening at their home. It doesn't really go with the edited set above, but I know how much he likes it so I just had to include it. <br />

Last month I spent a few hours on a Sunday afternoon hanging with friends Emma and Scott and their two lovely little children. The following images are just a sampling of what I captured during my afternoon on their homestead outside of Rocheport. I love it when I can hang around and document family rituals like meal time and that's exactly how we ended our session that day. <br />

You gotta love a girl who shows up for her senior session in jeans, a t-shirt, worn sneakers and a pair of cool shades...AND NOTHING ELSE. No change of outfit, no touch-up makeup, no accessories, NO NOTHIN! This no-nonsense girl is my fabulous niece, Kate, who traveled almost three hours for me to photograph her senior session this past weekend. We had a great time roaming The District and parts of the MU campus. My primary focus was on creating environmental portraits--ones that would use setting, light and emotion to tell the story of her personality. It's basically my way of blending my documentary style with some creative portraiture. And frankly, I think these images are a pretty spot-on reflection of this young lady.<br />

Kate, you were a natural in front of the camera. Hope you and your family enjoy the images!<br />

**DISCLAIMER: I'm not a senior portrait photographer. Traditionally I don't offer or photograph senior sessions because my focus is on documentary imagery.

A few weeks ago I spent a pleasant afternoon at my friend Emma's house preparing homemade apple juice and apple sauce. Another friend, Jen, was also there and the three of us peeled and peeled and peeled what seemed like bucket after bucket of organic apples from Emma and Scott's tree. I brought my camera along and thought I'd share some detail photos from that afternoon. <br />

I'm actually heading back to Emma and Scott's house tomorrow afternoon for a documentary family session. Please check the blog in a week or so to see my favorite images from that session. Below are a few pics I snagged of Emma with baby daughter, Lula, and son, Avery, during our apple extravaganza. I can't wait to photograph more of their family tomorrow!<br />

He let me use his studio space back in April for my launch party and I wanted to return the favor by documenting some of his family's time together. I'm really excited about these images because they're the type of images that I'd want of my own family. They're totally unscripted, and together tell an authentic story of this family's time spent at home and around their property. My style of photography is not about posing, or only shooting during golden light hours. It's not about coordinating outfits and pretty props. Its not about getting that single perfect portrait. It's about telling the real story of a family through a series of authentic, documentary images. It's about families being themselves in whatever situation they've asked me to photograph them in. And when that happens I get to capture real images, like the ones you see here.<br />

Dave & Lisa, I hope these images are proof that life at home is not boring!

Jeff and Andrea are such a fun couple to be around, not to mention fabulous hosts. I spent the latter part of a Saturday afternoon with them at home, followed by a stroll downtown. Some of you may know Jeff & Andrea as the owners of the <a href="http://www.linexofcolumbia.com/">Line-X franchise</a> in Columbia. Andrea also works double-duty as a jewelry maker and creates one-of-a kind pieces she sells through her site, <a href="http://jiracollection.com/">Jira Collection</a>. Below, Andrea sports a pair of earrings and necklace she made herself. Fabulous!<br />

<i>Full Disclosure: I own two pieces from the Jira Collection </i><br />
<i>1) a pair of earrings my husband commissioned for our five-year wedding anniversary--yeah, he's THAT awesome ladies, and</i><br />
<i>2) a second pair I received as a birthday gift from... my husband :)</i><br />

I spent about an hour exploring a favorite neighborhood creek with them last Saturday morning, but then time was cut short due to Lydia's nap</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px;">. I really wanted to show more of home life with this trio and asked Holly if I could return with my camera...so I will see them again on Sunday! For now, here's a sampling from Saturday's shoot (I couldn't get enough of Lydia so there's a bit more of her :)</span><br />

I'm currently going through a portfolio overhaul and revisiting photographs from this summer. I came across this lovely image of Josie and thought it would be a nice one to share. I think it really captures the sweetness of a childhood summer. It's a beautiful honest portrait of her with sweat and matted hair, not to mention her captivating gaze. That's a signature Josie "look" for sure!<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is having a great afternoon!

<br />
Dear Logan,<br />
<br />
Today you are three years old! You are such a big boy... a mini-man of sorts. You have no idea how much we love you, how everyday is better because you're in our lives. It's really indescribable. You blow us away by your size and your smarts and dashing good looks! You're certainly slimming out as you get older, but your cheeks are still so pinch worthy and kissable. You fill our world with such delight and chaos and we wouldn't have it any other way! You make us laugh with your funny faces and phrases. You're adventurous, headstrong and completely stubborn, yet surprisingly at times can can be quite shy and reserved.<br />
<br />
You love old-school cartoons like Scooby Doo, the Jetsons, Smurfs, Flinstones and Pink Panther, only because you're growing up in a household sans TV and are stuck with reruns on the computer. You're generally a human garbage disposal but recently decided to ban mushrooms, zucchini & yellow squash from your diet. And can you believe you don't like candy! Instead you prefer mints, the Lifesaver kind, and will eat a whole roll in one sitting if we let you. You're a master trike rider, Thomas the Train track constructor and Lincoln Log builder. You like to cook in your play kitchen and whip up stir fry with tofu and bok choy--but what you really love is to help us in the real kitchen. You love Bob the Builder and Toy Story, Matchbox and Hot Wheel cars, swimming and more swimming, slides and sandboxes. You still crawl into bed with us in the middle of the night and wake up way too early. You've been to Disney World, Mount Rushmore, the Rocky Mountains and many boring parts of Kansas and Nebraska. You've experienced many things in your short three years and many more things to come!<br />

Logan, you're surrounded by such love and support. As parents we couldn't be more proud of the little man you're turning out to be. Today you're three years old! It's your day, you're way (as if that's different from any other day!) and we wish you the best birthday ever! We love you, lots!

Here's the peek at Logan's room I mentioned in the previous post. This is only half of it (it's L-shaped) and he has his own bathroom. He feels so grown-up pooping in his own potty.Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15811323217774702306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519409341810675955.post-48453648204577723772010-08-14T15:34:00.000-05:002010-08-14T15:34:38.994-05:00When he's not out fighting crime...<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccaallenphotography/4891276633/" title="DSC_6715 copy by Rebecca Allen Photography - Columbia, MO, on Flickr"><img alt="DSC_6715 copy" height="472" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4891276633_b5a95130c4_o.jpg" width="710" /></a><br />

The windows in our new place are awesome! This in our living room area. A sneak peek at Logan's room is coming soon. I've been holding off on the entire post that debuts our new downtown residence because we aren't finished unpacking or decorating yet. Those tasks should be complete in the next couple of weeks (hopefully!) and then we can finally invite people over for a bit of an apartment-warming. Yay, can't wait!Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15811323217774702306noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519409341810675955.post-81044189531561955222010-07-26T21:46:00.000-05:002010-07-26T21:46:02.831-05:00Happy Birthday Victor! ~ Columbia, MO children's photographyOkay, so I'm a bit biased when it comes to declaring that the cutest baby boy ever is my son Logan (well, I guess he's not a baby anymore since he'll be 3 next month)...but I must admit that handsome little Victor runs a close second. His eyes are beautiful and his cheeks are so pinch-worthy. Victor just celebrated his one year birthday, and what better way to commemorate his 12 months of life than with a Play Date photo session by me :) I mean, really, all children should have their photo taken by me when they turn one....or two or three or just anytime! Proof of fun times is below. And, of course, big brother Dante makes an appearance in some photos, too, along with Mom and Dad! Enjoy!<br />

It appears John and Victor aren't as impressed with Sarah's bubble blowing skills as Dante is...perhaps they're just jealous. Or practicing their serious look. Like father, like son.<br />

Okay, now here's where I emphasize that I am NOT a portrait photographer. I'm a documentarian and I love to take photographs of people doing what they do and not what I tell them to do. But I also believe that every family should have a recent photo of all the family members together, even if it's not "perfect". It was a bit challenging to get Dante to cooperate for the family shot, probably because I waited too late in the session to accomplish it (note to self: do the serious stuff first--then play). So, here are two examples of how this went down. I'm partial to the black and white image because it is more natural and representative of how things really were (and check out little bro picking on big bro!), but the color image was our goal. So, what are your favorites? Don't be shy... leave a comment below and tell John and Sarah just how cute their kids are!<br />

Kyle and Megan are good friends of ours, so naturally I jumped at the chance to photograph their daughter, Iris, when the opportunity came along. We scheduled an early morning session and started at home as they got ready for an outing to the Columbia Farmer's Market and Shelter Gardens. Iris is so sweet and easy to photograph. My play date with her was filled with lots of exploring and ended with an early lunch at Steak and Shake. It was hard to pick my favorites to post, but hopefully this set will you give you a good idea of how much fun we had that day!<br />
