Walking Again!!

I am so excited to be able to post this! I just signed up to walk in the Breast Cancer 3 Day. I know a lot of you know that I did this in 2006 and it was amazing experience for me and my friends that I walked with. I have been wanting to do the walk again and this year I was presented with the opportunity to walk again only this time I won't be walking in our Beautiful city but in our Nations capital! I am so excited about this, I have never been to DC and what better way to see the whole city? I also get to spend 3 days with my good friend Nicole! I am sad to not have my whole team together to walk with again {life happens, people move on, things change}

I have some plans in the works for some photo related fundraisers. If you are interested in hosting a Portrait Party you can contact me for details!
If you feel like you just want to donate the link is the title of this post.

Thank you for reading about my excitement and being a part of it! Here are a few photos that I took during the closing ceremonies of the 2006 walk!

It feels like Spring

Maybe because it is spring :)
Yesterday was D's birthday so we spent the day together doing fun things and driving C from rehearsal to rehearsal! Busy girl!!
We stopped to play for a bit at old poway park, E loves the trains they have on view on the weekends, I of course love to snap away and N just wants to perform! It really is true when they say "all the worlds a stage"
Happy Birthday Baby!!

Graduation Time

Meet C he is a senior this year and such an amazing young man, I won't be one bit surprised if we all hear about the great things that C is doing in the future. I know that in a big or small way C will have an impact on this world. He is a son, nephew, grandson, cousin, friend, drummer, student and so much more and so good at everything he does. Enjoy this little sneak peek of someone who has great things on the horizen for his life!

I will leave you with my favorite photo from my trip to Vegas :)

Vegas Lights {fun part 2}

It wouldn't be a good Vegas showcase without some light photos right??
So here are a couple of the lights in Las Vegas and the water show in front of the Bellagio, and some beautiful Lillies growing inside the Bellagio as well!

Some fun stuff from Vegas!

Yes that would be me rockin' the pink UGGS {it was cold}


2 Little Monkey's Jumping on the Bed {don't try this at home}


Yep me again {the girls were trying out my new lens}







Three girls, three cameras = lots of laughs and some fun shots!
Jeni, Heather and I rode to Vegas together for WPPI and took some fun shots on the way there and back :)

HELLO FROM LAS VEGAS AND WPPI!!!!

I wanted to check in and say hi from Vegas and the WPPI convention. You are probably wondering what WPPI is, right?? Well its an amazing experience for the pro photographer and I have been taking some classes and catching up on all the latest and greatest for all of you!
I've been having a little fun too and meeting some other wonderful photographers who share this fun and exciting passion with me!

If you don't already know this about me, its not a very big secret, I love peanut M&M's and if you want to get to my heart hit me with a little yellow bag :) so its only natural that while in vegas I hit up the M&M store on one of my breaks and got my picture taken with Peanut!

Back to the photography now!!
Rebecca Helpling Photography is going to be offering some wonderful new things that I know you will be as excited about as I am!! Stay tuned because there will be some very big announcements coming soon!!

It doesn't get any better than this

family really is what life is all about! I have had the pleasure of photographing this family 3 times now and it is a pleasure every time! This time it is a special session with Grandma and Miss L and Mister B, I had so much fun getting to know grandma and spending more time with this family. I love my job and this session is just one of the reasons why :)
here is a sneak peek at some of my favorites, the rest of your gallery will be ready in a few days!

How can this possibly be right?!?!?

Two of my favorite Twinkies are celebrating a huge milestone this week, they are turning 1!! Now I know this happens in the lives of all babies but WOW not sure how this can be happening so soon. It has been my pleasure to capture these miracle babies every month this year but even more of a pleasure to be a godparent to Mr. R, sweet Miss A has her own set of godparents but I love her just the same! Their mom is one of my closest friends and I am honored to be a part of their lives!
Here is a little sneak peak at their birthday celebration!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. R and Miss A, I love you!!!

A chilly afternoon at the beach

but R's family were good sports about the not so warm beach weather! What a great family, I can only hope my kids still like me an each other this much as teenagers!
Here is your sneak peek!

Just like riding a bike

For as long as she can remember sweet C has been wanting to learn to ride her bike and she did learn how over the summer but between dance and singing and brownies and......... well you get the picture she is one busy girl, we haven't had much time to practice. So the other night we actually got some fun time in. You know the saying "just like riding a bike" well it really is true! She got on her bike and after a slight barely noticeable moment of hesitation took off like she had been riding her whole life! I took pictures, daddy rode his scooter, E rode his trike, N ran around and "rode" her bike. Fun for the whole family!
