Overexposed bio picture

Welcome to Overexposed

In July of 2006 I started a blog as a way of showcasing my images to family and friends.  I was feeling very self-conscious about blogging (and still do - it's all a bit pretentious and self-promoting, don't you think?) and named the blog Overexposed because it played off a photography term and aptly described how I was feeling at the time.

Over the years, Overexposed has evolved into an online journal of sorts ... a place where I can showcase things both silly and serious and keep in touch with clients, family and friends alike. 

Thank you (so very much) for stopping by.

xoxo,

Rebecca

Today I am Thankful For

Warm weather
A deck
Floor to ceiling windows
And a point and shoot camera within arms reach
I’m not sure this cranky, teething, over-tired little ragamuffin or his feeling-a-little-bit-under-the-weather Mama would have survived the day otherwise.

The World’s Biggest Dork

When I first started photographing children professionally (nearly 8 years ago!) I would often feel self-conscious trying to engage my small subjects with other adults around.  Eventually I learned to tune out the adults who were likely making fun of me behind my back and now I rarely think twice about it.  Occasionally though something...

Visitors and Visitees

We had some extra monkeys today after school and before they got completely absorbed in the noise and chaos that is my house from 3 – 6 pm I pulled them aside for a quick photo shoot.  “Please?  It will make your Mom smile.”  And – because they are wonderful – they thankfully obliged.
(let us...

For Chrissy

It’s neither clever nor funny, but it’s bound to make you smile (at least I hope so).  Perhaps we can add sweet or adorable to your list of requirements? 
Chin up.  You’ll be home and breathing a huge sigh of relief in no time.  In the mean time, we will be praying our hearts...

A Love Story

She was barely 19.  He was 22.
She had heard about him, but never met him.  And then one night at a church activity she saw him sitting with a group of friends and watched him smile (oh that smile!) and she got butterflies in her stomach.
“Who was the guy sitting next to so-and-so at the...

The Evolution of Owen

Because sometimes the best way to settle into a long night of tedious work is by doing something that doesn’t feel like work.
Can you believe how much he’s changed over the course of a year?

It’s All Relative

We had three extra monkeys with us this weekend.  And guess what?  My house feels quiet and empty now that we’re back to just our four.  I’m not sure I ever thought I’d describe my 3-bedroom townhouse as being quiet or empty.  But it’s all relative, isn’t it?
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
xoxo,
Reb
