LoopsyDaisyBaby: Meet Rebecca Riley

Let me just say I LOVE Rebecca Riley Photography; the person AND the photography!

Rebecca Riley Photography located in Dallas Texas

Tell the world a little bit about yourself, as a person... I am a mom to four boys, including identical twins! I am a huge coffee snob, being from Seattle I miss having a drive thru coffee stand on every corner! I love everything Fall, the weather, leaves falling and Football!!!

What inspired you to become a newborn photographer? Are you self taught?I have always loved taking pictures and when my kids were babies I would set them up for pictures with my point and shoot. When I got my first DSLR I new I wanted to try newborns and once I did I new I was hooked! I actually went to school for photography and communications and plan to continue on for my BFA.

Do you have an example of a before and after, or a composite, or a photo from your first session compared to something recent?

Example from first newborn shoot, and one of her recent. Both GORGEOUS, I'd say!

Studio or Natural Light?
I use studio lights, I have two strobes that I use. If I go to a clients home for a session and they have a good space for natural then I will skip the strobes.

What's in your bag?In my bag is my Canon 50D, my 50mm 1.4, and my 100mm 2.8

Favorite Pose:

Who inspires you as a photographer?My biggest inspiration is Baby as Art! I admire their work so much.

What is one piece of advice you'd offer a new photographer?

Advice would be to learn all you can about newborn safety, learn how to properly pose the newborns. Ask questions if you don't know, it is better to be safe then sorry!
