Rebecca Ellison Photography bio picture
  • it’s the little things…

    I'm a bit goofy and always ready to have a good time - I love making clients laugh...it just so happens it's usually at me and some random thing I am doing to get "the shot" - If it's nice outside, I guarantee I will be found sitting in a patch of sunlight soaking in the rays - I tend to miss speak right when I am trying to be sassy, ... so I just end up sounding silly - I love all the noises a new baby makes be it cute or gross - My socks never match and I am proud of it - I avoid cleaning the bathroom like it's the plague. It comes from growing up with two brothers and always being on bathroom duty - I found out the hard way that garlic does NOT compliment everything... and now my husband doesn't let me in the kitchen unsupervised - I still get giddy and jittery before every wedding I photograph - I once thought the biggest gift of being self employed was making my own hours, now I know it's the luxury it gives me to raise my son (born April 2011) without the need of daycare - I love riding my bike, but don't have the constitution to make myself work out regularly - I believe that following your dream is not the easiest path but is definitely the most rewarding one. My dreams since I was 18 was to find the man of my dreams (check), raise a family (check) and create images for a living (check) - oh... and if you want to make me laugh, tell me a poop joke. Works EVERY time.

An Intimate Affair : A Valentine’s Event

**updated with a couple more pictures on March 5. Check out the lovely lady I’ve added at the bottom of the post****

Back in January I did my first boudoir marathon event, and it was AWESOME!!! I love the idea of boudoir, because the fun that all the girls that I photographed had while being confident and sexy in front of the camera was AMAZING! One of my favorite things about my job is the opportunity I get to make people feel good about themselves. There is nothing better than seeing my clients face after showing them an image that they love. An image that boosts their confidence because it is something showing them how beautiful they are, instead of all the advertisements in our society telling us that we aren’t and how to fix it.

We had a super fun day shooting in a suite at the Hotel Alexis in downtown Seattle. I found a specific room through their website and requested it. I loved the walls, the windows, the floor, the EVERYTHING about this sweet! Each lady came and had a half hour with makeup artist Whitney Boot, who did a fabulous job and then an hour shoot in the suite. It was sooo much fun and I can’t wait to do another marathon event!

Here are a selection of images from all the shoots we did that day. Thank you ladies! You know who you are, and thank you for letting me show some of these images up on my blog. It means a lot to me:)

I absolutely love the series where I am looking through the door at her on the bed. I think it gives the image a really private feel. To note, she was laughing at me the entire time I was doing this, as I was shoved in the closet squeezed between the wall and the safe to get the right angle for the shot. Whatever you have to do for the shot right?

Karine Zwicki - I love them! Again, everyone is so comfortable and they are done with artistic tastefulness with a dash of sensuality. Let me know when you decide to do another event- I am in! Beautiful.
