Breast Cancer 3 Day Update

Its so hard for me to even write this, but after careful thought and a few tears it is time for me to end my journey to this years 3 day walk in Washington DC. Recently I have been having severe pain in my right foot and I finally forced myself to go see my doctor. The conclusion is that walking 60 miles will only worsen my pain and push up surgery and with three little kids at home being off my feet for 6 weeks from the surgery really isn't something I can force my family to deal with if it isn't necessary. So we decided that it would be best for me to pull out of this years walk.
To all who donated to my fundraising efforts THANK YOU!!! I think the hardest part of having to pull out is my fear of letting you all down. Just remember that your donations have gone to a wonderful cause and bring us closer to a cure for breast cancer with every dollar donated!
If you would still like to donate please find another walker in your area or consider donating to my good friend Nicole Peck who I was planning to walk with. She will still be walking and is super close to her fundraising goal and would love the support! Just click on her name and it will take you to her fundraising page.
Again thank you for all your support it really does mean so much to me!

Hush Little Baby San Diego Newborn Photographer Rebecca Helpling

Meet sweet baby E. Another so sweet and sleepy and perfect newborn. He was a pleasure to photograph and spend time with. I absolutely love my job and spending time with E and his mama remind me why!
S and T enjoy this sneak peek!

Happy September San Diego Children's Photographer Rebecca Helpling

Its hard to believe summer is gone and everyone is back in school. Routines are starting up again and hopefully at some point it will start to cool off!!
I absolutely love photographing Mr. D, the first time he was just a couple of months old and a few times in between. It is hard to believe he will be 2 very soon. I love watching him grow and turn into a toddler, he is so funny and sweet and I adore him!!
Don't even try to tell me you can't see the mischief in his eyes :)

Jon Jenkins and David Helpling Live San Diego Event PhotographerRebecca Helpling

This was a little different for me. I shoot events, weddings, birthday parties etc but this was my very own husband and his good friends Jon Jenkins who he recently collaborated on an album Treasure. they played live yesterday at UCSD along with their good friend Matthew Stewart an amazing drummer and songwriter.
David and I have been married for almost 14 years and it seems like almost that long since I have seen him on stage. Back then it was rock and loud smoky bars that 50% of the time I couldn't get into because of my underage status :) this time a whole different scene but still so awesome to watch!
They asked me to snap some photos of them while they were playing which was super fun for me!
Here are just a couple from the event. You guys rocked!!

Torrey Pines Beach Sunset San Diego Family Photographer Rebecca Helpling

School started this week and the kids have all done really well adjusting to the new schedule so we decided to head down to the beach last night with some friends for some end of the first week of school fun! The kids and dads went boogie boarding and swimming, we played smashball and football, our crazy littlest child ate a lot of sand while the big kids eeewwwed over that making her eat more. We watched a beautiful sunset and then headed over to Roberto's for some carne asada burritos :)
oh and I grabbed a few shots of the fun!!

Sweet Baby Girl San Diego Newborn Photographer Rebecca Helpling

This is baby E and she was an absolute angel the whole session. She didn't fuss at all and just curled up and let me snap away! She is so tiny and precious, even giving us sweet baby smiles!
Enjoy your sneak peek K and J!
