Today I had the opportunity to meet two beautiful twin newborns who will get to spend their first few weeks of life growing in the NICU. It was a humbling experience to see that much beauty and determination is such a minute package. Their tiny little fingers clung on to their parents as if to say "hang in there mom and dad, we're doing fantastic and we will be home so soon." These little warriors, Tessa and Carter, knew exactly what Mom and Dad needed to stay calm and soothed. Before heading to the hospital this morning I asked a group of premie mothers to tell me something positive about their experience in the NICU. This is what they had to say... "Heart pounding moments turned into h

I was interviewed today by, Geneah Berrian, for an upcoming feature on her blog, Style Wisdom Apparel & Glamour [SWAG]. We spoke about empowering women through photography and quite a bit about my career as a luxury portrait artist. We drank tea, had some great laughs and some heartfelt moments too. I spoke with her about my goals for each session and how when I meet and exceed those goals it sends my soul soaring to new heights. Tomorrow I am looking forward to a newborn photoshoot with not one but TWO beautiful fresh squishes! I am so excited that it is already 1 am and there is no way I can sleep. I can not wait to share this one with you all. I hope everyone reading had a fantastic

I posted my Mommy and Me sessions today and already have my first lined up for early tomorrow morning. I have had the pleasure of working with Stephanie in the past and am super excited to get her adorable son involved in a session with her! These sessions are going to be a lot of fun! They include professional hair and makeup by some super talent artists and seven fully edited heirloom worthy images. This is a steal and makes such a memorable Mother's Day gift!

Every photographer can attest that at times our job has inherent dangers. I faced several over the course of this weekend and here is how it went down. A friend/colleague and I decided to road trip it together for a few photoshoots. For the first one we drove about six hours east to the top of a mountain with three models, only to find out half the mountain was on FIRE. Seriously, there were areas blocked off by retired FBI agents, firefighters and various deputized members of the sheriffs department. This normally treacherous mountain top just doubled in danger. Okay, whatever, we can handle this, we're professionals right? So we find a safe area to shoot, and my colleague decides to

There is something truly inspiring when you're working with young adults. They are so full of potential! As a photographer, I have a few short hours to work with my clients and I try my hardest to instill a sense of confidence in each and every person I capture. I want them to look back on their images and think of everything they're capable of. When working with high school seniors, I know a short encounter can change their course. I have had several of these encounters in my life and always feel the need and drive to help others the way I have been. This group of seniors awoke that drive to inspire in me. It was refreshing and sweet to see these young adults unsure of themselves, ye

Once again I am hitting the road this weekend.  I have a several photoshoots lined up east of Yuma and they are going to be absolutely magical! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.  Don't forget to stop in next week to see samples from my adventures! I am so looking forward to seeing new places and meeting new faces to share with all of you. Your traveling photographer, Regina Moneypenny

When you invest in portraiture, you're investing in not only a luxury experience but high quality, heirloom and print-worthy images. While low quality images may be budget friendly, years from now you and your family will be left looking at photos that are poorly focused, with white balance issues, that are not even worth printing due to low resolution and pixelation. When you invest in portraiture, you're investing in art that is connected to personal memories you will cherish forever. Do not leave these memories in the hands of an amateur hobbyist, let a professional give you the quality you want.
