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 :)

Rose Droplets

I've done waterdroplets before. I've seen water droplets done on roses before. Of course I wanted to at least try it. What better time to try than with the roses I got for valentines day! I could use more work, maybe I'll try it again with a different flower or another techinque.

Thanks 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!

 

If you are interested in doing a session with your school aged kid please contact me. I do have packages just for school pictures. Check out http://www.photosbyrtripp.com/ or contact me on facebook/email.

Thanks for viewing,

Birthday Pictures for my own!

We attempted them, he wasnt to into them this time. That happens though when you have a very active almost 3yr old though. I'm just happy he at least cooperated a little bit during the whole thing. It was a very short, umm.. session with him lol. I'll be doing more next weekend hopefully when we have more time, we're planning his birthday party Saturday so all week we've been extremely busy making sure we have everything we need. As moms know its a never ending job double, triple checking the list.

So without further ado...

This one is my favorite^^^ he was so into it.

He didnt care to much for this! We got a bit gutsy on the rocks, I dont think he cared to much for my idea.

Oh how I love my boy! Well I shall return sometime during the week with birthday party pictures and hopefully I'll get some more big 3 pictures from him. Then next month I get to do it all again with the number 6!! My kids are getting so big =(

Thanks for reading!

"Families are like fudge...

mostly sweet with a few nuts" -Author unknown.

I found this quote online, I think it fits perfectly, you will soon see why. First a few things, I've been doing a lot of thinking, I think I'm going to revamp on how I do this whole blog thing. I feel that I'm boring to you guys. You will still receive your sneak peek, promise! But I'd like to chat a bit more with you try to think of some witty titles(which sometimes I feel like I fail). Come chat with me on FB, I'm a very talkative person sometimes too talkative. I do enjoy a nice conversation since most of the time my days consist of a 5yr old a 2yr old.

Lets get back to this energetic family! They we're a blast to work with, the boys were fun. C(the older one) was too cute, such a goof ball just like B(his little brother). B was a ball of energy, he would sit still long enough for the pose then say 'all done' and run off till the next one. So cute!


Real quick, apparently I'm having issues with my images now showing up as sharp as they are in person, pay no mind please! I'll be figuring that out soon hopefully. They are high res on my computer, in my file, the internet, facebook etc tends to degrade the way my pictures look. I'm sorry about that!

An outtake...by request! Who doesn't love funny photos?

Hopefully I'll see you guys again soon! And for the rest of you, I hope I'll be seeing your inquiry soon :)

Till next time,

Rachel!

p.s more so a note to myself, but I wish my watermark didnt look so funky online. :(

Mr & Mrs C Wedding

Yep, you read that right, I got a chance to shoot my first wedding. It wasn't a big wedding, but the size doesn't matter. What an experience! I loved that it was somewhat personal to me, someone I knew. This blog post is so hard for me to type, so many pictures to choose from to show. I want to show them all, I really do. Saturday went over so well, I got so many emotional pictures and some fun ones too.

So we're going to step out of the traditional 2 picture sneak peek just for a moment, deal with me as I tell a short story.

Daddy walking his daughter down the aisle.

First kiss as Husband and Wife.

Family.

Isn't she precious?

A few more from our after wedding pictures.

Just one more! Have seen what I mean yet? So very hard to pick just a few to show, I'm having a hard time choosing these as it is.

This was hard work, I hope you enoyed your sneak peek Mrs C(hehe). You are more than welcome to link anyone here to view and comment. Enjoy everyone!!

Rachel.

Sneak Peek of Baby J

Awhile back I got asked to photograph this couples maternity pictures, I was very pleased when they asked me to do their newborn pictures too. I managed to get to baby J at 8 days old, he's precious such an extremely happy baby. Oh how I miss the newborn stage, my boys are much older now, I do miss it. 

Enjoy baby J, they don't stay little for very long.   

Sneak Peek for J - Kansas City MO Portrait Photographer

Thursday I had a great session with J. We went to my lovely somewhat hidden location, which inquired kinda getting lost to find it, he was such a sport with my 'lostness'. We tossed ideas back and forth, which worked out well, which is always a plus for me :). J  is a super sweet guy, such a pleasure to photograph. Thanks again J, here's your sneak peek.

Sneak Peek for D

oday I had a maternity session, this couple was a lot of fun, very goofy. This session was gifted by D's sister in law, isnt that nice of her to do? We had tons of fun this evening, very greatful it wasnt very hot like last night. A 9 month preggo person wouldnt be very happy, but she was happy as can be while we walked around, which I'm very greatful for!

So without further ado here is your sneak peak! I hope you like them.

And M I'll be seeing you soon I hope!

Sneak Peek of K

This evening I had the great opportunity to have a photo session with Kendria. It went went! She photographs so easily, which is always a plus for me. We talked, wondered around thinking of new things we do or try between the two of us lots of creativity! She rocked this amazing dress, if I say so myself! Overall I'd say it was a pretty awesome, minus it being so flipping hot! Here's a sneak peak for you Kendria! I hope you like it!!
