Sunday Sneak Peek

Ok I realize I'm a few days late, but I have very good reason. We had a very busy Sunday! My husband and I had a day away from the kids, it was so nice! We went to the casino, I turned $20 into $50. I'm a baller haha. Then we looked around at Nebraska Furniture Mart after we went to the movies and saw Rango! Had such a nice day away from the boys.

Now for your sneak peek, don't get mad at me Im a little late. I'm gonna work on something to post on Tuesdays too. Trying to figure out super cute names. I'm rambling again. Have you ever noticed how much work they give kindergartners? Well if you don't have one in school yet, you'll understand soon enough. If you've been there done that kind of thing, its insane on how much they need them to know just in Kindergarten. I don't remember needing to know all this.

Seth is working on math work, he loves numbers so this comes naturally to him.

Thanks for looking!

Sunday Peeks

I'm going to try to do something new, hopefully I'll remember to do this every weekend. If not then remind me please? I often take pictures of whats going on in my own house, I just always fail to show it. Well let me rephrase that I dont share with you all what I do at home. Hopefully this will change all that, at least give you a perspective what I do in a day.

We have a german shepard named Lulu. She's a spoiled baby hehe. She tends to think she can sit on the couch and take up all the room. I was booted off the couch and onto the floor, which kinda worked out cause i can get cool shoots like this.

My husband and I got bored and started playing with the boys' hand light thing, for the life of me I cannot remember whats it called. Anyway we turned off all the lights and just had fun with it. This is one of my favorites that we did.

Thanks for taking a sneak peek into my daily life :)

Current Casting Calls

Please apply by sending an email with the subject of "fresh faces" to rachel.tripp86@gmail.com by March 9th, 2011

Maternity - looking for a fashion forward, hip mama due before April 10, 2011 (outdoor session)

Newborn- must be under 10 days

Girl age 3-6 years old (outdoor session)

Boudoir- must pay for own room, must be female 



Entries must include a photo within the past year and other important info (names, address, ages, due dates, etc.) to be considered. Thank you!

First and foremost I am an artist. There are times when I get an idea in my head that I just HAVE to photograph. As many artists do, I pull inspiration from so many places and when that strikes I want to fulfill it!

This is good news for you!

As I get ideas that I want to photograph I will often put out "fresh face casting calls" looking for a specific type of model. This will usually include a complimentary session as a gift to you for helping me fulfill the idea and some other complimentary goodies I offer. For these events, no minimum purchase is required.

All I ask in return is complete creative control (of course we are always safe!) and a signed model release which means I may use the images produced for marketing my business (never with your name attached) on my website, blog, facebook, etc.

Everyone Loves A Baby Belly!

I'm getting nerdy with these titles arent it? At least I'm interesting, or I try to be. These are for my sister, whom is always one of the best models I can find when I need one. Now her lovely daughter will be the second best. I'm so excited to finally have a niece, from my side of the family. I'm already an aunt from my husbands side, but this times its my turn. There will be more to come within the next month or so as she gets bigger. She's due mid April!

Enjoy the peek!

Happy Halloween!!

I do realize I'm a little late with this blog post, but better late than never right? Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed their halloween(for those who celebrate). We had a fantastic halloween this year. My husband finally didnt have to work and he wasnt deployed, who couldnt ask for a better one? He did have to go in for a few hours to cover someones shift, the joys of being an assistant manager, so maybe I should rephrase that? Naw you get my drift. What I'm getting at we all go to dress up this year, my boys always do. But mommy doesnt seeing as I don't like to go alone. But this year Mommy was a gangster, daddy was a spartan and my boys were GhostBusters!

It was pretty awesome!! They loved it! My youngest, Xavier understood it more this year. He picked up quick that the houses with lights on had candy and the ones without didnt. He'd often say 'mommy ooh no light' and run to the next house. Its safe to say he had a blast Sunday night.

Now I"m done rambling lets get to my photos!

We attempted pictures and as you can see they don't take me very serious lol.  But at least I have some right?

Thank you for looking!!!

How they grow so fast...

your kids grow so fast, its quite insane. Here I am with an almost 6yr old and a 3yr old. My oldest is in Kindergarten. We took a shoot and did our own pictures. He decided he would talk to me throughout the whole process, lol. We talked about what kind of funny phrases we would say, stinky butt was his favorite. He couldn't stand still either lol, which is normal for him. He's non stop all day..he's been that way from far back as I can remember. He's like an energizer bunny..he keeps going and going lol. I love him though, he's a huge sweetheart when he's being like his daddy and a butthead(love you babe).

Well I feel like I've chatted enough, so here we go! Seths kindergarten pictures!
