Rebecca Peters Photography http://www.rebeccapetersblog.com Kansas City Photographer Rebecca Peters, and her recent work Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:49:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 en hourly 1 Shout-outs! http://www.rebeccapetersblog.com/personal/shout-outs http://www.rebeccapetersblog.com/personal/shout-outs#comments Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:49:27 +0000 RPeters http://www.rebeccapetersblog.com/?p=3542 I just love when people take a passion, & turn it into something that benefits others.  It is inspiring just to hear them talk about it.  You know what I am talking about, right?  So I wanted to do a post about a couple of friends who are really going for it, and putting themselves out there with products that mean a lot to them!

First is Maile in the field of Photography.  I remember when she first talked about creating a camera bag that was geared-towards women, and had some STYLE to it.  Nobody was doing that!  She had a long journey, but it was well worth it.  My bag arrived yesterday (just in time for WPPI in Vegas tomorrow!) and I was blown-away by how lovely and sturdy this bag is!  Check it out here… http://www.epiphaniebags.com

rpeters_epiphaniebagNext is my friend Natalie in the field of Wellness.  She has always been passionate about staying healthy, but it is so much more than that.  She wants people to be healthy both physically AND mentally, and has started her own branch of Cafe Gratitude here in Kansas City.  These gorgeous bottles are for sale, with hand-etched glass!  They come in various colors, and many uplifting words to encourage you to feel better and drink more water.  Love it!  I got the purple one…of course!

rpeters_gratitudebottlesSpeaking of WPPI, I wanted to purchase new business cards for this shindig.  I knew that I wanted to try letterpress cards this time around, and after some searching found a local shop downtown named Hammerpress.  I worked with Jenn from A to Z and she was amazing!  Incredible service, and when I picked the cards up last night (during First Fridays in the Art District) I could not have been happier.  They are stunning…thanks Jenn!

rpeters_hammerpress-cardsI leave bright and early in the morning for the largest photography trade-show and convention in the country — I have butterflies just thinking about it.  Follow me on Twitter if you want to see what I am up to!  Have a great week everyone, and if I can blog I will!

Enjoy their Slideshow here, set to their first dance song!

rpeters_office_makeover_sneakI have six sessions this week before I leave town again for WPPI, so things are going to get super-busy again!

Enjoy his Slideshow Here, and congratulations to the new family!

Visiting her and the family (Belle dog included!) is always a great time!  There is so much love in her home, that I cannot wait to see the wonderful little girl she grows up to be.  And check out that awesome little baby-t-shirt she has for some of the images!  Enjoy her slideshow here, and I look forward to her 8-Month session!

The day started at Lia’s parent’s home where the girls were getting hair/make-up done, and helping Lia get to the church.  After the ceremony, Lia was ready for everything that I had in mind.  “I know the dress will be getting dirty, and it is worth it for the images!” — a dream-bride right?!  We managed to walk around a few places, and kept that dress in really good shape after all. :)

The weather was COLD, and when I say they toughed it out that would not tell you enough.  I brought along leg-warmers for the girls to put on under their dresses, and some  boots for Lia to wear so we would not ruin her ballroom shoes in the snow.  Did I mention she scaled a fence in her dress for me to get to a spot with great light?  INCREDIBLE!  Nate & Lia are just so wonderful and sweet to one another, it was great to capture that kind of love.  Enjoy the SLIDESHOW HERE, and lots of favorites below!

There is one image in the slideshow, that is old-style Glamour-inspired.  The post-processing is totally different than usual, but I love the look and feel — Lia really pulled it off with the look…you will know which one it is! :)
