    if you are a photographer and are on twitter, go and follow: @blogstomp as they are close to launching really big things. :)

    as i get questions from aspiring photographers, one question is how i consistently “frame” my images. i like to reply as i brain-numbingly wrote an action and had to test it over and over to “get it right”… however the amazing guys over at Blog Stomp are creating the EASIEST to use actions to get your amazing images logo’d and up on your blog. lately my action has been  doing some not so lovely things (image below) so i’m stoked that Blog Stomp let me do a test drive with my image above. thanks guys!!

      That is one wacked-out strawberry.

      It is a strawberry, right?

      Neat stuff.

    • Sarah — 6.19.09 (2:47 pm)

      creepy conjoined strawberry!

    • Angela — 6.19.09 (3:20 pm)

      Looks like it grew in outer space with no gravity confinements. :) I’ll have to check out blogstomp, thanks!

    • brett — 6.19.09 (4:20 pm)

      prettiest mutant strawberry EVER.

      She is so beautiful. Those lashes!

    • wrecklessgirl — 6.5.09 (4:27 pm)

      i want to pull back those whisps of hair and kiss those porcupine eyelashes! mmmm.

    • chipgillespie — 6.6.09 (9:39 pm)

      Love this shot.

    playing around with some lighting.

    during my month of june off it’s a quest of mine to finally get caught up on personal photos that have been hanging out on my hard drive. in other words, they haven’t passed go or collected $200. sadly, they get taken, downloaded… and then crickets chirping. this has had a negative affect on my “personal” blog… and well, that makes parents and friends cranky. so i’ve been trucking through and finding some fun stuff. i seriously have 2 years of images that desperately need to be printed. sweet irony right?

    aja told me this photo is “scary”.

    051109_0874.jpg

    i’m not going to lie. that’s 100% authentic dust on my lens.

    051109_0898.jpg

     

    have a lovely week!

     

     

    • marco — 6.2.09 (1:33 pm)

      i appreciate the dust on lens texture set

    • Danny — 6.2.09 (1:36 pm)

      My fav is the last pic. Nice work!

    • Kelli Nicole — 6.2.09 (2:00 pm)

      Haha, adorable! Hope I get to meet the kiddos in real life someday! Even though I don’t have my own family, my 4 siblings and their 8 children can attest to the shoot, download, don’t look at them for 7 months technique.

    • wrecklessgirl — 6.2.09 (5:19 pm)

      looooove the dust baby. keep’n it real, yah.

    houston, texas  - wedding

    here are a few images i shot recently while working for my dear friend wedding photographer ashley k . alison and blaine will forever be known as the “jcrew” wedding. they had a elegant, low-key wedding at ouisie’s table in houston. they are also the guilty couple for introducing me to crave cupcakes. ;) most of these images however were shot at the hotel icon in downtown houston where the couple got ready.

     

    this image makes me laugh– very texas. ;)

    off the grid

     

    052509_0204-edit.jpg

    I’m back on the blog grid. Thanks for waiting.

    I don’t really want to dwell on why I haven’t been posting which is why I didn’t want to leave a specific post prior to leaving.
    What I can say is that I feel SO much better. After months of progressively feeling worse- I can FINALLY say I feel good. I can’t even begin to describe what a relief that is.
    I do have to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all my family, friends, and blog readers who have wished me blessings and positive thoughts during this last month. (and especially those who were subjected to my whining!)
    Recovery was SO sweet with flowers, chapsticks, jammies, magazines, and berripop deliveries I can’t even describe how much it meant to me! Bless my iPhone- I enjoyed being entertained by my Internet homies while bed-ridden/housebound. Thank you for keeping me sane and linked to the outside world. (And yes, I DO realize how incredibly nerdy that all sounded- whatever.)

    Knowing the suggested rate of recovery time was 4-6 weeks (today marks 4 weeks exactly) I decided prior to all this I would be taking all of May and June off to recoup, relax, and reorganize. June also marks Jade’s first summer- and heck—I just want to hang out with my kids!! The silver lining to my surgery is that I get the opportunity to take it easy for bit, enjoy my family, and not be stuck to my computer. (at least for work anyway ;) ) I’ll still be posting here some weddings prior to my break, images I’ve created while working with other photographers, and perhaps some random stuff here and there.

    Although I won’t be shooting until July, I will still be around for album and print orders, as well as booking new clients. Please check the rebecca-linhrodgers.com for availability or email info@rebeccalinhrodgers.com

    thanks again friends. xoxo

    • Joanna Garcia — 5.28.09 (2:19 am)

      Glad to hear you are doing wonderful and are going to relax some more. Take it all in and enjoy your girlies!!

    • Abigail — 5.28.09 (2:23 am)

      I am so so glad to hear how GOOD you feel. I am sorry I haven’t called, what a bad bad bad friend I am. Things were, and still are a bit crazy over here. Even though I didn’t call, I was definitely thinking about you and checking on you via FB and your blog. Anyhow, miss ya girl, and so happy that you are feeling better!!!!

    • wrecklessgirl — 5.28.09 (4:09 am)

      i’m not sure exactly where this came from (maybe my pin-cushion of a heart)–but i was taken aback by this image. i breathed in real deep, it’s just gorgeous. there aren’t hands in this picture, but this is one where my heart makes up hands for my eyes to see, old hands, worn hands…weathered. hard working, loving, and gentle hands. <3

    • chipgillespie — 5.28.09 (2:34 pm)

      Love you, girl.

    • brett — 6.1.09 (4:32 pm)

      so glad you’re feeling better. please let me know if christian and i can do anything for you and your family while you’re still taking it easy!

    sarka - tom - chester

    chester seriously has a fascination for being upside down. bungee jump instructor as a future occupation?

    wanna play with my camera?

    brenham, texas - family session

    not only have i had the honor of shooting sarka and chester last summer, i’ve also had the incredible opportunity to photography tom and sarka’s business posey capital management (they are excited for a new website to launch soon). so i was excited when they asked if i would travel out to their brenham ranch. “think blue bonnets and cows.”, is how sarka described the area. i describe it as colorful, quiet, and GORGEOUS. in just under a  year, chester has grown so much. it’s so awesome to revisit clients and see what’s been going on their world since the time we’ve seen each other last. and while i may not be able to survive the ranch for the mere fact that there isn’t any wifi (pathetic, aren’t i?), i do love the fact that sarka and tom made the executive decision of not having any phone, tv, or computers on their ranch. it’s a place to hang out with the family and relax. sounds awesome right?

    • clint — 4.27.09 (9:47 pm)

      beautiful… love them.

    • Jamie Delaine — 4.27.09 (9:49 pm)

      Woah. Last shot: gorgeous.

    • Jamie Delaine — 4.27.09 (9:50 pm)

      “there isn’t any wife” - you mean wifi right? ;)

    • Tamara Sierra — 4.27.09 (10:53 pm)

      Great photos before your sabbatical. Way to go out with a bang or should I say “snap”!

    • chriselda — 4.28.09 (1:59 am)

      holy moly. that first shot is fantastic!

    • Estrella — 4.28.09 (1:19 pm)

      Great Pictures! Everybody looks so fantastic!!!!!
      Love, Estrella

    • Danny — 5.18.09 (4:26 pm)

      I love the last shot.

    nb_057_2.jpg

    my favorite.

    nb_073.jpg

    i fell in love with them at the sandwich shop.

    nb_119.jpg

    they LOVE each other.

    nb_123.jpg

    nb_152.jpg

    eric and nancy got married at what use to be the sam houston hotel located behind them. (it’s now the swanky alden hotel). what i really love is”why” her hair was so wind blown. (see last picture)

    nb_144.jpg

    houston texas - wedding

    again, i profess my love for small intimate weddings. nancy and eric had a gorgeous wedding on the veranda at the alden hotel. not only gorgeous, but the sun lit room was filled with their close family and friends to witness such a sweet wedding. i’ll also profess my love for bride and grooms seeing each other before their ceremony. eric, nancy, and I (along with the talented lindsay perry) hit the streets of downtown houston and had a whole hour to just have fun taking photos. there will be more photos from their wedding posted, but i wanted to share all the sweet amazing shots of these two and make them a blog post in their own.

    thank you eric and nancy for inviting me to be a part of your wedding day.

    nb_374.jpg

    right before the black and white image (2 above) a bus very closly zoomed by and created this little gust of wind. :) i happen to like the image with the bus too!

    • Nancy — 4.21.09 (10:02 pm)

    • Eric — 4.21.09 (11:29 pm)

      Wow! Rebecca, thanks so much for all of the great pictures and your comments. You were GREAT to work with on our wedding day. We really appreciate the time you took with us ahead of time and also scouting the area to find all of these unique shots! It’s hard to pick a favorite but the one looking up at us walking down the sidewalk is really cool!

    • Nancy — 4.22.09 (4:03 am)

      also - ring picture - so cool!

    • Janica — 4.22.09 (4:10 am)

      LOVE these. The couple is stunning and your locations are dynamite! The sandwich shop picture..? Perfection. Oh, and Nancy, you should definitely reconsider the “generally awkward” mindset. Not by a long shot, hot stuff!

    • Nancy — 4.22.09 (4:37 am)

      janica, don’t know you, but like ya! ;)

    • debbie — 4.22.09 (11:29 am)

    • Christina Montemurro — 4.22.09 (12:36 pm)

      I’m with Janica and R-L on the “not awkward” thing, Nancy!

    houston, texas - family session

    i had the JOY of meeting eva, frank, christian, and gabriel. most of the time on family sessions - i usually stick to one location. but something about eva gave me an idea that she could tackle a couple locations– so we did it and i LOVE the images from her session. what a SWEET family. i loved hearing about their family and admired frank for being a fireman + a sahd (stay at home dad). how awesome for eva to persue her career while being an incredible mother to two boys! (you make it look a little too easy!)  i enjoyed meeting you guys- you have one incredible family!

    • clint — 4.16.09 (7:41 pm)

      Dang girl.. you rock’n out the shots.. love the Father and son shot.. great stuff..

      LOVE the one of the little boy looking up. He is so sweet.

    • eva — 4.17.09 (10:52 pm)

      Rebecca-Linh, YOU ROCK!! Thank you so much for making this shoot so easy and taking such wonderful photos of my boys. These boys are my life and you have just captured their essence so perfectly. Thanks is not enough, but please let it be a start.

    • Lindsay P — 4.19.09 (7:44 pm)

      The smoosh face picture melts my heart! Too cute!! Also very much love the picture just above the smoosh face! Awesome, awesome shoot!!

    brett & christian

    houston, tx - engagement session

    yes, we had as much fun as it looks. brett and christian are an AMAZING couple– and i love how comfortable they are with each other. brett and christian seem to balance each other pretty dang perfectly. and oh, i love how real they are. yes, i know… i take photos of real human beings… but these two are just REAL. and i love that quality in people. :) it was so hard to narrow down their images so here is fine sampling of what our evening was like. i’m SO very excited for their wedding this fall and simply can’t wait for the va-va-va-voom bridals coming up with the beautiful brett.

     and with us joined ringo star and john lennon.

      Shot #15 (I think) of Brett in the red and Christian in the blazer looking at the camera face-to-face literally made tears come to my eyes. Way to capture THEM!

    • brett — 4.8.09 (8:08 pm)

      did you notice that you can (kind of) see the reflection of you with your camera in #14? i love it!

    • clint — 4.9.09 (4:33 pm)

      hey.. these are awesome.. and this couple is rad as well.. me and you think alike..

     league city, tx - newborn session

     Just recently I got to post the an amazing maternity session with kelly.  i anxiously awaited the news of baby sullivan’s arrival and was so excited to meet the little man behind the belly. what a sweet baby- all he did was sleep. (so dear kelly, i hope he is still a great little sleeper!)

    i’ll get to see this little guy, along with his brother harrison in just a few months and eagerly wait to see how much they grow!

     

     

    • Abigail — 4.6.09 (9:51 pm)

      love them! i soooo regret not doing a newborn session!

    • Christina Montemurro — 4.7.09 (1:00 pm)
