palmyra

her mommy is one of the best people I know. (if you take a peak at her blog…you just might see a post full of me and my loves!)- just sayin.

she- ms. Palmyra- better known to the world as Myra. or better known to my ears as my girls saying, “can we pleassssse go play with myra? we love her.”

she is filled with such spirit. such energy (read- she gave me a run for my money).;)

yet still…i loved every minute of her vivacity. her innocence. her honesty.

Thanks for looking!

Paia Palmer - Becky, these are so lovely. I love the pristine sense of black and white. Captured her innocence. Can see Anna in her as she gets older. Lovely work.

shark eyes

we call Jessie shark eyes- sometimes. they are deep, round and full of the most beautiful brown i have ever seen.

but really- they are windows to such a beautiful soul. a child oozing of innocence and spunk.

a little itty bitty girl who at four knows who she is and what she wants.

she always hated pictures. now? now, she lights up with the camera in front of her.

yeah- i’m pretty cool with that.

sugar and spice:

Thanks for looking and letting me share my loves and life with you!

models needed

Okay so when I say I am needing models, I am not necessarily talking about someone everyone would consider beautiful. So don’t click off the blog just yet, my dears.

I am looking for unique beauty. Quirky beauty. Just something about them that is so striking- beauty.

Know someone who totally ROCKS a gap in their teeth? What about someone who has some serious cool hair. Or maybe you know someone and you can’t pin point what is so intriguing about them, but they just are.

I am looking for THEM- YOU!!!!

I am working on building a new portfolio and I am pretty darn excited about it. Lot’s of cool ideas, talented stylists and love going into it, ya’ll.

here is what I am looking for:

If you live in Utah (I am in Orem) or are willing to travel (on your own expense) to me, I am wanting you…oh and take a look at the other important stuff below!

Child-
Ages: 7-13 (boy and girls)
Temperament: likes to take pictures, takes direction well, open to being dressed up.
Parents take note:
-Must be willing to have a hairstylist style your child’s hair. No cutting or coloring is involved. Possibly might have clip in extensions (can be taken out after the shoot)
-No makeup will be put on your child.
-On certain shoots, clothing stylists will be on hand to provide clothing for the shoot.
-Parents may accompany child on shoot, but must not help give direction.

Teen-
Ages: 14-17 (boys and girls)
Temperament: likes to take pictures, takes direction well, comfortable in front of camera
Parents take note:
-Must be willing to have a hairstylist style your child’s hair. No cutting or coloring is involved. Possibly might have clip in extensions (can be taken out after the shoot)
-Makeup may be applied (light makeup) Makeup will be applied by a professional make up artist.
-On certain shoots, clothing stylists will be on hand to provide clothing for the shoot.
-Parents may accompany child on shoot, but must not help give direction.

In return for your awesomeness to help build my new look, you will receive all edited photos with PRINT release. All COPYRIGHTS belong to myself. (plus if you and I- we are a fit- I will use you for paid gigs)

If you are interested, please send info. and picture to: beckyearlphotography@gmail.com

I have many concepts planned, so even if you aren’t right for one project, you might fit another perfectly.

Thanks everyone!

brooke - lucky ducks :) can’t wait to see what you come up with.. greatness i am sure of it!

Erica - I would drive anywhere to have you take pictures of anyone in my family. We will be coming to Utah mid April. If you need us, let me know. :)

Erin Potter - Hi! When are the models needed?

Becca - I would volunteer, but in a few days I will have a fat post baby belly! Not so cute huh!

ashley dawn - IT FINALLY WORKED!!!
man…. can I come shoot WITH you??
Sending some people over your way :)

Becky - Thanks B!

Erica, yes! send updated pics of the kiddos!

Erin, I am wanting to shoot within the next couple of weeks. Especially on spring break.

Becca, I need Addie! I have a specific shoot in mind for her. I just need to buy the $60 bathing suit. ouch. haha

Ash- thanks girl!

Erin Potter - Ditto on what Erica said! I live in Wyoming but we are planning a trip out that way in the next couple of months. When we nail down a date I will send you a message and photos of my kids and see if it works for you at all. I have a 10 year old girl (Avery), 7 year old girl (Reece), and a pretty cooperative 4 year old boy (Rogan). :) It would be amazing to have photos done by you!

Tara - I can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve! Too bad Caden is a year too young. I’d loan my kids to you anytime. I TREASURE the photos you took of them. Too bad they don’t always stay that innocent and sweet. GOOD LUCK!

Amanda - Man!!! I have the perfect model, my daughter. She has the cutest gap between her teeth. Guess I’ll just HAVE to come to UT.

Alli - Hey Beck, you know I’ve got boys aged 12 and 14, and a sweet daughter who’s 16. They’re used to taking photographical orders (thanks to their MEAN MEAN MOM who’s a photog ) so anyway, I’ll email you. Loves you!

Tracey - Are you still looking? I just sent you an email… I know I’m a bit late but I am in need of a good photog & just found your cute blog.
