Living with Photographs

This week we take a look at the hallways because it is the only part of my house that is presentable right now!

the boy

I can not believe it. The boy turned eight years old today. EIGHT! How does this happen?

The many faces of my favorite boy.

playing catch-up

I am still surprised by how much work it seems to be to take a photograph every day. But I can say that I'm already looking forward to compiling all of these everyday snapshots into a book at the end of the year. It will be a visual diary of sorts. The journey continues.

I don't think I really need to keep introducing this weekly feature, so ...

Roll the tape!



And leave me your comments. Thanks for visiting.

sweet baby boy

I always suggest that parents get their newborn session done early ... like within the first 10 days of being home. And then I am always so proud of first time parents who follow that advice. I remember when my son was first born that I didn't get to the grocery store until he was almost six weeks old, so I am impressed that these first time parents got their act together, brought in their precious baby boy and looked absolutely fantastic themselves. Hmmm. Maybe 'impressed' is the wrong word - jealous would be better! This little guy was just short of two weeks old and mom and dad were so comfortable around him. I am just thrilled for this family.

Trying to make good on my word for keeping this a weekly feature of the blog. So, I'm back for another round of personal embarrassment. But hopefully, it will inspire you to live with your own photographs. This week I discuss photographs in your children's room and reference an article I found online. I'll include the link below. Roll the tape.



Here's the link to the article.

no comments?

Alright. The blog is ready for your comments. I haven't gotten any yet so I think that means one of two things:

1. No one is reading the blog.

or

2. You listened to your mother when she told you, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

So, if you are reading, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Let me know if I'm wasting my time or not. Thanks!

more peeks

Wow. I don't know about all of you, but I am so done with winter. Today's sunshine is perking me up just a bit. I will definitely have to get out for a walk today.

Just a few more snaps from my Project 366.

Calling All 2009 High School Seniors

R2 Seniors by Rebecca Redman Photography is looking for the next big thing…. Class of 2009 Models.

Who: You! If you are currently a Junior who loves to be photographed like a model, is outgoing and willing to promote R2 Seniors to your friends. Don't think you have to look like a runway model to be a R2 Model. I want seniors who are fun, energetic, fashion forward and excited for their senior year … and have lots of friends!

What: You’ll receive a complimentary mini-session this spring and the chance to earn a full senior session next fall. I’ll even throw in a video clip (like the one above) of your images from your mini-session to show off to all of your friends, put on MySpace, FaceBook, or blog. And how about a few images to use on your cell phone, Ipod, or as a screen saver? Cool, I know. You will also get your own featured gallery at R2 Seniors at my site, www.rebeccaredmanphotography.com. Oh, and don't forget the cash bonus for every qualifying senior you refer to R2 Seniors who completes a session with me!

How: Either email me at rsredman@umich.edu, or call me at 248-217-9379 and I will send you an application.

When: Applications must be returned by April 10th. I will review the applications and begin calling for interviews the following week. Interviews will be scheduled in late April/early May and one of your parents must be in attendance. You will need to be available for your mini-session during the last half of May.

Where: Your mini-session will take place at my home studio and/or location of your choice.

Why: Why not?!?

I am currently seeking models in the following schools:

Lake Orion High School
Clarkston High School
Rochester High School
Adams High School
Stoney Creek High School
Oakland Christian High School

but willing to consider a few more area schools.
