Five Fabulous Cousins!



Would you ever think that these beautiful portraits were taken in less than inviting conditions? We encountered a good ol' Nebraska July evening - muggy, buggy, hot and icky, but you would never know it judging by the smiles on these kids' faces! They were super sports about it and I think... I really think... they actually had a good time! I know I did!

Cool Collages!





Collages are one of the many products we offer and they are extremely popular! All collages are designed by artist's choice in either 10x10, 12x12 or 10x20 sizes. It's a great way to creatively display images from your session, plus they're just plain cool!

Sweet Siblings




This family holds a special place in my heart, the girl and my daughter are "Best Friends Forever". We started with a little natural light studio arrangement and moved to my "secret beach". These siblings have a great connection and I love that they trusted me capture it.

Now booking weddings and bridal sessions!








We are so proud to announce that Becky Edwards Photography is adding Weddings and Bridal Sessions to our specialty!

Bridal Sessions are usually booked about 1-2 months prior to your wedding or about 1 month after the wedding. It’s a wonderful opportunity to have a relaxed and focused session showcasing your beautiful dress and this once in a lifetime moment. Grooms are also welcome at the Bridal Session, making it a great time to get those show stopping wedding images without dealing with the time and location constraints of the wedding day.

Becky will be booking only a limited number of weddings this year. Please call or email to inquire about availability and pricing.
Bridal Sessions may be booked independently from your wedding day photography.

Now booking Fall & Holiday Sessions!

The AC is cranked to the max and the kids say it's too hot to play outside! What better time to talk about Fall and Holiday Portrait Sessions!

Some quick dates to know:

November 15, 2007 is the last day for ordering Holiday Cards and Gift Items. Which means the Holiday session cut-off will be November 5th. You can still schedule your sessions after November 5th, but you will probably not receive your order in time for the holidays.

August 25 - Sept 20, 2007 is fully booked. Which means I will be taking Fall and Holiday sessions from Sept 21 - November 5, 2007. Book now to get the best dates! You know those weekend spots will go fast!

What an Amazing Day!

Just a quick sneak peek for this bride and groom from their 7/7/07 wedding day! They were so wonderful to work with. You could really tell they were enjoying their day! I enjoyed the day immensely too!
The colors in the bouquets were gorgeous!

One the greatest things about photographing a wedding is being witness to pure emotion and being able to capture that for a lifetime of memories.


My favorite of the day and literally the LAST shot. You can just feel the total joy radiating from this image. A show stopper for sure!
I really want to thank the bride and groom for allowing me to be there. It was rather unconventional circumstances that allowed me to be part of their day and I am humbled that they welcomed me with such open arms. Thank you S & T!

Just having fun!

I met a friend last night for dinner in the Old Market. She's a great photographer in Duluth, MN. You can check out her site here http://www.nicolemarie.biz/. She is in town this weekend to shoot a wedding and has invited me to shoot along side her!

I don't know why photographers have such an obsession with shooting other photographers while they are shooting.... but we just do. LOL! Perhaps it is because we know the one behind the camera never gets in front of the camera. We traded cameras for a while, so this was taken by her using my camera of me using her camera. I think that pretty much cements our friendship. :)
After dinner we met up with her husband and son and had a mini shoot out with her son as our model. This is her sweet little man. I'm not sure who won the shoot out... but I am sure that there will more competition at this wedding today! Stay tuned!

Beauty in the every day - Part 3



Just exploring my own back yard tonight. There certainly is beauty all around us. The sunflower is what I would consider a weed, but still beautiful in it's own right. The white flowers are tucked away behind our pool pump, I would have never known they were there had I not had to go check on things for Tom the other day. What a pleasant surprise during a rather unpleasant task.


And of course, nothing is more beautiful than our freedom! And that certainly is beauty in the everyday! Take a moment while you are grilling your burgers and basking in the glorious afternoon sun tomorrow and think of our soldiers who are not able to be with their families on this Independence Day. May they all come home soon.

Happy 4th of July!
