Cherish your family

Whether your family is near or far, they are the most important people in your life. You don't have to be rich, dress fancy or live in a mansion to want beautiful pictures of your family and children. Everyone deserves to be cherished and shown off.
This Family Series was
taken last weekend on

Wedding Equality for All

Yesterday was a great day for the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian community as City Hall married Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon in the first same-sex wedding to take place since gay marriage was legalized in California.
Del and Phyllis, gay-rights activists and co-founders of the first lesbian rights organization, Daughters of Bilitis, helped pave the way for Gay and Lesbians from San Francisco to Seattle and beyond to gain the coveted Marriage License and more importantly, the equal rights every committed partnership, gay or straight, is allowed.

In the the heart of Wedding Season 2008 a la Seattle, Rebecca Douglas Photography would like to say Congratulations to all you newlyweds in San Francisco!

May the rest of the country follow your lead.

Don't Forget the Pets!

Our pets may not be as well groomed as Jessica Alba's Pugs, Hillary Duff's Chihuahua, or Jake Gyllenhaall's German Shepard, but they are ours...Bad behaviors, smelly breath and all! We certainly don't want to forget about them when we are considering our next photography project.

My hound dog, Skylar was my like my first kid and treated as such. She was always included in road trips, grocery store runs, even the family portrait. Our pets are as much a part of our family story as our kids. (Sometimes they are our only family) Don't forget to bring them along on your next photo shoot. You never know what we might capture!

Maternity

When I was pregnant with my daughter 4 years ago, I was excited, but I had no idea how deeply the Grace, Beauty and Art of a woman's body during pregnancy would effect me.
Whether it's a first or fourth pregnancy, my wish for every pregnant woman is for them to find someone to document this amazing journey.
