Happy Mother’s Day! ~ O’Fallon, IL “Mom” Photographer :)

Rebecca Doehring — Sun, 13 May 2012 00:40:51 +0000

When I became a Mom, like all mom’s out there, my life changed. That change was 100% the best change that I could ever imagine having. All the cliche things you hear:

1. “I don’t know what I did before my kids.”

2. “I found new meaning” or “I finally understand what life is about.”

3. “I finally know what love is.”

4. “I never knew I could love so much and/or be able to spread so much love to each kid.”

to….

5. “There’s not enough time in my day.”

6. “I don’t have time to shower.”

Its all true…

I think I’ve said this before, but my cousin told me before Caylin was born, “You might think that so much is important now, but when you see that sweet girl for the first time, you will quickly realize that everything you worked so hard for before to accomplish… suddenly you will realize that the little person you created will be and is the greatest accomplishment you will ever do.” I’ve often wondered if she knew how much that stuck with me. Each one of my girls are the biggest blessing, and I thank God everyday for entrusting me with his children, and allowing me the opportunity to have them in my life. It’s so funny how Scott and I have grown with each girl. From if the passie hit the floor, BOIL that thing! to… 5 second rule… heck it lands in mud, just dunk it in water… its all good! Dirt is protein… right? From they will not sleep in our bed… to one of these days will be the last time they come crawl in bed… lets snuggle!

I so often stare at each of them, and fall more and more in love with each little feature. And their personalities… I could write an entire novel about each one. The good, the “I don’t know where they get that”, the “like your dad” or “like me” features. I love all of it.

In High School, Markey and I daydreamed of becoming moms. We wanted to be the the ultimate soccer Mom’s. While the whole soccer Mom thing didn’t quite pan out for me, I am very happy being the Gym Mom. Though I always knew that my main goal in life was to be a mom, I still didn’t realize how much I could possibly love these little people. And even though I seem to not have time… ever! Or I seem to be a spaz… ALL the time. Or that I am running like a chicken with my head cut off… constantly. I would not change anything about my life with my babies. I am very content to say they are my whole world… because I know just how quickly my world will change once again when they leave for college.

One of my close friends’ little girl just had braces put on. When I saw her I honestly gasped! I swear it seemed like over night that sweet, cute little girl had turned into a very mature, level headed, beautiful young lady. Reality quickly hit… Caylin isn’t too far behind her, and I see the change in her daily. My “baby” is getting BIG! In her maturing face and blossoming personality. Scott and I just had the conversation that it seems over the past few months, we are relearning who she is. Our quiet, shy litttle angel is now turning into a vibrant, expressive… witty (who knew!) tween. I keep feeling like I don’t want to miss one conversation or thought she has at this time.

Madison and Caylin are constantly confused as twins. They are the same size. Correction… Madison has passed Caylin up! But for the most part the same size. I have often had guilt that Madison has never been her age. She’s always been the same as Caylin. She’s done everything at the same time, she’s accomplished things at the same rate…(sometimes even before Caylin), and she’s often seemed stronger at times. Madison has one of the biggest and mature hearts of even some adults. She can see things and recognize things that I wish some adults could have the insight to be able to see. She’s fun, outspoken, full of life, passionate and spunky!

My sweet baby Edith Sue… I just want to freeze every second. I’ve watched how fast the other two have become the people they are, and I want the power to slow it all down! She’s the perfect mix of both her sister’s… yet her own person at the same time. She keeps me busy and on my feet… and she’s been the one to teach me that rules can change. So many rules got thrown out the window when she came into our life… and I think every bit all for the good! Edith Sue will always be my baby!

My life changed… it became whole and filled with life, love, patience, understanding… and most of all with all the chaos… became peaceful.

Happy Mother’s Day!… I hope you get the chance to study all the details you love so much about your baby/babies too.

Lexington In Fall & Spring ~ O’Fallon , IL Photographer

Rebecca Doehring — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 04:57:53 +0000

Why do I love Lexington so much? So many reasons, but here is one.

From Fall to Spring…. Spring to Fall…. you can shoot in the same yard, it looks different and perfectly gorgeous each season! If I could bring my parents yard here, I would be in heaven!

Here are my girls last Fall `11 and this Spring `12….only a few weeks ago.

I’m trying to play a little catch-up with posting. Computer is working great, but a little behind and trying to focus on actually working.

I just love this couple. They are the true love story of meeting in High School, getting married and having the perfect little baby. They make me smile.

I left my heart… ~ O’Fallon, IL Photographer

Rebecca Doehring — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:12:53 +0000

In San Francisco! Maybe that is a little dramatic. I did leave behind all my lens and my flash in the room due to all the walking we did all day! So when I was out, whatever lens I had (which is what fit with my camera in my purse) was it! I just had to be super creative in jacking up my ISO.

I really enjoyed San Francisco, I LOVED being with old buddies, making so many fun memories, and I can’t wait to go back and explore the city with Scott (since he only had 1 day there).

Here are few little captures for you Mrs. Robins(on), aka Hammy.

I loved spending this special time with you and Jon!

Family… ~ O’Fallon, IL Family Photographer

One lesson you learn as photographer… You might at first glance think you have the greatest or cutest image as you are picking through them. Then you suddenly start working on them and realize… “Ohhh that’s not even usable.” I had 2 in particular this session. One, I will not post. At first I was so excited. I loved the angle, I loved his expression, I loved how he was sitting. One small problem… his “hehe dilly” was front and center with no way of “fixing” it! What do I do? “Sighhhhhh.” Take my loss and move on.

In this case however, I moved onto the funny image #2. It’s posted below! No explanation needed. Luckily, this one is “fixable.”
