I love getting to know my clients in a deeper and more intimate capacity. During these times, I’m extraordinarily thankful to be invited into their private worlds to capture more of who they are, and I’m hoping to do that more by offering heiress sessions to my brides. Every bride is beautiful. Every woman is beautiful and I think it’s important that every girl knows this, no matter what shape or size. A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of joining my clients, Donna & Hulya, for their boudoir sessions to kick off my heiress sessions.

I shoot boudoir photos for my clients as a special gift a bride gives to her future husband… thanks Donna and Hulya for a fun morning. You two are beautiful.

For one month, anyone who books a boudoir session will receive 10% off their little black book. Call now (0431 238 936) or email me (rebecca@rebeccading.com.au).

Well, it’s been a busy winter here at RDP and I have LOTS to share with you all, but for now, here’s a sneak peek from yesterday’s shoot. Enjoy!

Brent and Sarina are getting married in October. Last week we headed in to the city for some super fun shots and they brought their Ahh-mayzing little girl, Kayla. She’s so cute, I have to admit, I wanted to clone her and take one home for myself, except I didn’t think Pete would be very happy with that. Aaanndd, I don’t really know how to clone things. Is it like copy and paste?

Brent and Sarina, I can’t wait to shoot your wedding later in the year. It’s going to be a blast! Esp. if I’m allowed to play with Kayla.

Pete, can I have one?

It’s the week for new beginnings. This week I have a new blog, a new website, a couple of brand new clients and my house is clean, so that’s a brand new experience for me too! So, in light of brand new experiences, it’s time to introduce a brand new segment on the blog. I’m simply gonna call it +10 -10, because, here is the chance for things, anything at all, to either earn an extra 10 points in this, the game of life, or lose 10. That’s right, I’m calling it. Based on my very technical and professional points system, whoever has the most points at the end wins. All rulings are final. Or something to that effect.

This week’s points go to:

- Pete. Just because. I think he’s pretty spunky.

- Bean read. They’re just around the corner from me and make Uh-mazing coffees. If you want to go, call me and I’ll come too! They MAY even be better than Starbucks. Maybe!

- Starbucks. They need no justification.

- Leather Craftsmen. I just received 2 amazing albums back from these guys and they never fail to impress. I wish I could move in with them.

This week’s minus points go to:

- Tim Tams. Good for the lips, bad for my hips. Very very VERY bad. However, if you eat them on a Sunday, then the calories don’t count. It’s just the way it works.

-My old piano. It sits there in the corner. Taunting me. Oh, Howard, how I used to play you once, but I think we need some time apart and you taunting me is not going to make it any better.

And because no post is complete without pictures, here’s one I took in the city after Sunday’s portrait session.

Happy Wednesdays!

It was terrifying. You know, one of those moments where you feel like you want to run screaming from the building and hide under a rock until the voices in your head go away and your not the complete focus of everyone’s attention. Yah, well, I’m not gonna lie, that’s what the beginning of the workshop felt for me. I. Was. Scared. Thankfully however, it all came off smashingly and we had 16 people who were a blast to hang out with for a day.

The last part of the workshop we all went out to photograph one of the most uh-mazingest models in the whole entire world, Becky. You might remember her from here and here and here. Yeah, she’s pretty awesome. Becky and I went to school together and when she rocked up after lunch, you might have seen me sigh with relief/ take a relaxing breath/ breath altogether. One of the afore mentioned actions. It was such a comfort having someone there who knew how to be photographed, knew how I worked, and I knew how she worked. It. Was. Brilliant.

Becky, I can’t thank you enough for all the help you’ve given me over the past year in developing as a photographer. You’re amazing and I wish you all the best with your now not-so-new hubby. I hope you like the pics!

Becky, you’re so ham. Yah, I just gave ham a new meaning. It’s a combination on hott and glam. O.K. Maybe, I need to work on the whole making-up-words thang.

I’m so funny it hurts sometimes.



See, ham!

’nuff said.

You might recognise this boy from such famous weddings as The Axon Wedding – Wedding of the century. Yah, that’s right, I just went there. You guessed it, Eddie is Pete’s brother. My Pete. So you know that their wedding in October is going to be Uh-mazing because he comes from a pretty awesome family and is marrying a pretty awesome girl. Last weekend, the whole fam was in Newcastle to send a wonderful goodbye to our brilliant older brother and his wife and baby Emily who are moving to Papua New Guinea for Richie to be an MAF pilot (I believe there were 17 of us staying in the same house at one point, yaha, his family’s that big) so I stole the two of them for their engagement session, much, I believe, to Eddie’s resistance. And just a note to all groom’s out there, he did admit at the end that “it wasn’t that bad”. ‘nuf said.

Guys, I know you’re family and all ‘dat, but I’m truly excited and honoured to be shooting your wedding later in the year. We’re all gonna have a blast together, but no promises I won’t be checking out the eye-candy that is your Best Man the whole time!!

I love how happy they make each other. It’s almost infectious.

Ally, you’re so glam.

Now that boy has good genes!

Gasp! Smooches!

I thought it most appropriate to kick off the new blog-fabulousness with an absolutely fabulous shoot. For almost 2 years, I had been planning a shoot. A shoot like no other I’ve done, where I would have complete control over lighting, props, subjects… anything. And thanks to the ahhmazingness that is Bec Tait, it all came together. There were dresses that were to-die-for, BRILLIANT hair and make-up artists, jewellery designers, you name it, it was there. I am so so SO happy with how it all came out and I think I am a better photographer because of it. I have made some brilliant new friends in the industry and my heart does a little jump everytime I look at them thinking of all the effort everyone put it. Champions.
