There have been a few changes around here, so it's time to start blogging again!

First, I am now back in MICHIGAN, and ready to start filling up my calendar.  Since I have lived out of state for the past 7 years, I am super excited to find new locations in Michigan to use for photo sessions.  Soon I will be based out of Jackson, Michigan, but it's really a great central location for access to a lot of Michigan cities!

Second, I have officially decided to stop offering newborn sessions.  Newborn photography is such a niche, and it's just not mine.  I would still LOVE to do newborn lifestyle sessions that would involve the whole family in their home setting, but I'm moving away from newborn sessions in the traditional sense of the word.  I will be working on updating that gallery soon to reflect the type of sessions that will be offered!

Other than that, I'm up for whatever your heart desires!  

Whether it be your dog:

Or playtime in your backyard:

E-mail me at rearviewphotos@gmail.com for pricing and scheduling!

Nothing is more exciting than watching the number of likes continue to grown on Rearview Photography's Facebook Page!  Even more exciting is that many of my new "likes" come from my new home, the State College area!  Welcome to everyone new and old!

As I started approaching 800, I started pondering what my giveaway should be this time (I like to change things up.).  I thought about how much I like giving presents and surprises to my friends and family, and about how it is the season for giving and then an idea came to mind (love when that happens)!

So without further ado... 

Details:
Instead of nominating yourself, this time you will be nominating someone else!  Who do you know that is deserving of winning a full one-hour photography session with Rearview Photography?  Know someone who just beat cancer?  Nominate them!  Know someone who is expecting a new little bundle of joy?  Nominate them.  Know someone who is super awesome?  Nominate them!

Here's how it works:
Go up to the top of this post and click the "comment" button.  Leave your name, e-mail address (it won't be published but is important for me to have should you win!), and a comment explaining who you are nominating, and why exactly you are nominating them.  Click "submit", and voila, you are entered!  Comments do have to be approved by me to avoid spam, so don't worry if it doesn't show up right away!

I plan on leaving this open for a good bit of time so there will be plenty of entries (and with this weather no one wants to be outside having their picture taken anyways!).  I will use a random number generator to choose the lucky winner on Sunday, January 5.

Should your entry be chosen as the winner, the person you nominated will win a free one-hour session!  And, because it is the season for giving, if your entry is chosen you will win a free 20-minute mini-session!

There's only one catch - sessions must be photographed in State College, PA (sorry Virginia fans)!  Anyone can enter, some may just have to be willing to travel!

Also, please share the link to this post so that your friends and family can enter too (and hey... maybe give them a little hint that they should nominate YOU!)

Good luck!

*Entry winner must have clicked "like" on Rearview Photography's Facebook Page - follow the link to do so if you haven't already!

Megan and Brent had such a perfect day at Old House Vineyards!  Both Megan and Brent were laid back and relaxed, and so, so happy together.  They also made me a very happy photographer because they built in ample time for pictures!  This easily could be one of my top five favorite weddings.

I have to say, working on their preview tonight I because so thankful for all of my clients who have given me the chance to be part of their lives over the years.  I still feel myself growing as a photographer 4 years into it, and it is all of my wonderful clients who have given me a chance whom I have to thank for that!

I just had a crazy busy return trip to Virginia this weekend, but it was definitely photo-tastic!

First up was Megan and Brent's fabulous vineyard wedding!

Next up was Luke's One Year Photo Session and Cake Smash!  Such a happy boy!

I also go together with Katherine and Matt for their Engagement Session... so adorable!

Then I snuck in a quick visit with Miss Harper Juliet - what a doll!

More previews to come soon - can't wait to share!

Love this pre-wedding shot of Katherine getting ready - just beautiful!
