Christopher Rebo Photography

Last month Janna and I had the chance to fly to Denver and spend the day with Angie and Andy Wood for a private workshop, and I just wanted to share a couple of the pictures from the day.    We had a great time, learned a TON, and were exhausted by the end of the day.    Look for a full writeup on our experience in the near future!  You can see there website here: Colorado Wedding Photographers, and for more info on their workshops: The Woodshop

In the meantime, here are just a couple pictures that I wanted to share.  Many thanks to Charlotte for being our model.   She was a trooper, and did a great job!

Feel free to leave some comment love if you like…

I just wanted to post a quick image I shot down in Idaho a couple weeks back.  I was headed to Rexburg to shoot an engagement session for a couple, and decided I had to stop quickly.  So many times I see things as I am driving, and never take the time to pull over and capture what I see…  Well, this time I did!

Nothing award winning, but I think it is beautiful and it does capture what I was seeing.  Hope you enjoy!

Nothing like a quiet Sunday morning home with the kids.  Usually about now we would be at church over at Mount Helena Community Church, but mom is working this morning, and I’m not feeling brave enough to go solo with the 2 little ones.    Besides, they are playing together nicely, and who wants to interrupt that?

On another note, the sun is shining outside, and it looks like spring!  I doubt it feels like spring outside, judging by the frost on the car, but nonetheless it makes me excited for warmer days…

…and warmer, longer days means wedding season is that much closer to starting!  Yes, I am excited, and I can’t wait for wedding season to get underway.  We have the most amazing clients, and I can’t wait to work with all of them this year.

With that, I’m off to play with the kiddos…

Wow!  Had a wonderful, busy, (exhausting?) holiday season, and now it’s time to get back to work!  Lots of stuff going on that I’d like to share, so here we go… (in no particular order…)

Janna had the opportunity to go to a 1-on-1 workshop with the wonderful Jessica Kettle, of Jessica Kettle Photography, who’s work Janna and I both love.  She learned a ton, and I got to learn a little too, secondhand. 

I’ve got some new pictures to post up here soon, and some old ones as well.  Sometime in the next week or so we will be doing at least one best of 2009 post, and I’m thinking we may even have a little fun with it!  Maybe a vote, and the couple in the winning image gets a prize?  What do you think of that?  Not 100% sure on the idea, so I’m open to hear others. 

Sometime in the not to distant future we will be starting what will (hopefully) become a regular feature: Guest Authors.  We will have posts (and I think maybe even some video posts!) from some people with good info to share for both brides-to-be and photographers alike.  Keep a watch for the first installment sometime in the next few weeks, hopefully.

We are going to be at the Helena Bridal Fair again this year, and we are super excited to meet you all!  Please don’t be shy – we are going to have a great giveaway, and we would love to just chat with you.

We’ve received some wonderful comments and testimonies from our clients in 2009, and some of those will be appearing on the website soon, and we may post them here with a few images tied to them as well.  Hopefully it will be something helpful for those of year who like to know you’ll get what you pay for. 

I think that’s about it at the moment…  I’m sure I’m forgetting something, but that’s ok.  Hopefully have another post tonight with some pictures from a recent engagement session!  Leave some love in the comment box if you have some to give.

Thanks!

Well, let me rephrase that.

I LOVE my job.

OK, there is the rare occasion when I am staring at my computer at 3 in the morning that I feel like I don’t love it, or at least that part of it….  But then I wake up in the morning and I love my job again.  So it’s all good.  :)

I think my favorite thing in the world to photograph is a wedding.  I know some people say they are all the same, or that once you’ve done a few you’ve seen it all…  I just don’t see it that way at all.  While having done plenty of weddings does mean I’ve seen a lot of things, I think that each wedding really is unique.  Each couple is unique, and there is an ever changing cast of characters…  What more could you want?

I don’t think I’ve ever done another job that is as much work as this one, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.  I’m never more exhausted then at the end of a wedding, but it is always worth it.  Janna and I do everything possible to make your experience relaxed, comfortable, and most of all FUN!  If you’ve seen any of the pictures that have been snapped of me working on Facebook and the like, you’ll know we like to have fun, and we like to make it fun for you.

All the pictures you see here and on the website wouldn’t be possible without all the amazing clients I’ve had the chance to work with.  Working with all of you is what makes this job worthwhile, and I can’t wait to meet all the clients for 2010.  Gonna be the best year yet!

So, thanks to everyone who has helped us get to this point, and here’s to all of you who we will meet along the rest of the way!
