Be Inspired

Sometimes you can just stumble onto something that inspires you.

For instance, I was at a convention in Long Beach last year and in one of the corridors there was this fantastic couch. I told my niece that I wanted to take a picture of her on it at some point over the weekend, but I could never hook up with her. Then I ran into a friend that was wearing the perfect outfit to go with the couch.

I love it when things just fall together perfectly!

A Little History

I'd like to back track a little here. While RaG MoP Photography is brand new and just in the developmental stages and Rebeca Greene Photography is relatively new, I have been taking pictures for a long, long time. I thought I would start with some older photos and work my way forward to the present.

Before I decided to go "pro", I didn't do too many actual photo sessions, but I always was ready with my camera. Sometimes, I just conduct my own spontaneous mini photo shoots.

I am blessed with a beautiful grandson that is my ever-present model/muse. Quite often he willingly participates and then there are other moments in which he does not indulge me in my constant clicking. This first photo blog highlights Zach through the years. These are just a few of my favorites.

We were on a hike and he modeled for me.

Just another day in the park.

I got this next shot one morning over breakfast. It's one of my favorites.

Posing under a tree.

Another favorite. I couldn't resist.

This was at his mom's second wedding.

Another hiking trip.

A fun day at The Gardens of the World.

In the end, I love a good candid.

Hope you enjoyed my cute little guy.

Reinventing Myself

Welcome to RaG MoP Photography!

I have been wanting to do a new blog for quite some time. My other blog, Who's Z? Creations, is all about regular/random stuff that I take pictures of along with a little story-telling.

This blog, RaG MoP Photography, is more about serious photography. I plan to showcase Maternity, Newborn, Kids, Tweens and Teens, Grads/Seniors and Family Portraits.

I've put it off because I sometimes jump into things before I completely think it through and then, when it's too late to change basic information, I finally come up with the clever ideas.

So, as per usual, my husband, Billy, gave me the inspiration that got my wheels turning. We somehow got on the subject of my name: Rebeca Ann Greene. Without thinking, my parents gave me really crummy initials...RAM or BAM, (if you go by my nickname, Becky). Thanks, Mom! Then, I went and got married and they became RAG or BAG...even better! I know, not very pretty, but I do have a good sense of humor about it.

I once used this to my advantage when I was a Tupperware lady.  As new recruits, we were given these ginormous blue bags to put all our wares in to take from party to party. So, when I became a manager and had to come up with a unit name for myself and the girls under me, I chose the name, "The BAG Ladies". I thought it was appropriate, and I wore it proudly.

RaG MoP Photography is, obviously, a play on my name along with several ideas for the MOP part. At first I thought...Mistress Of Photography. I told you I have a good sense of humor. Okay, you can stop laughing now, Billy. Master Of Photography was too much of a lie. Then, there was My Own Photography...meh. And, since I am primarily putting children here, I thought of the word "Moppet", which means: a small endearingly sweet child. So, there you have it. Take your pick.

I guess this blog might have a little story-telling too.

I'm just getting started, so I haven't hammered out all the details yet. This will be an ever-changing process. I also do Bridal, Wedding and Engagement photos. Not sure if they will go here or not. I don't know what my logo will be or, or, or....So, stay tuned!!!!

Thanks for listening,
Becky
