Photographer’s Statement:

Rebecca has been a photographer since she was old enough to manage shooting with her father’s Nikkormat film camera in the 70’s. She grew up in a photography family and at a young age learned how to see creatively. Rebecca’s own photo interests began by developing black and white photos in a college darkroom then rekindled in 2005 when she bought her first DSLR camera. Rebecca has developed a passion for sports photography in the last decade, becoming a photographer for her own three children’s sports teams. “Sports photography is all about waiting for the right moment, being at an interesting angle, and hoping the sun will not go behind the clouds at the moment you take the shot.” She also continues her passion for photographing children, the emphasis being on capturing emotion with light and unique composition. School photography credits include website, social media, and yearbook photos for: MCPS, Thomas S. Wootton HS, St. John’s College HS, The Bullis School, The Academy of the Holy Cross, and Lynchburg College Men’s Lacrosse.
