Some Bump and Love... | Redlands Photographer

2012-01-13T12:09:00.000-08:00

I absolutely loved hanging out with this family... I think I had such a great time my jaw was hurting at the end of this session from so much fun and laughter... ( that's a good thing, of course.. ) Mom was expecting child #2 so of course we had to do a little bump session in between the family shots... aaah! still smiling as I write this when I think of this session.. :) Enjoy!

I'm Back....

2012-01-13T11:19:00.000-08:00

yeah... I know.. I took a little bit of a hiatus from the blog world over the holidays.. and not because I had some lack of blogging to do, or don't enjoy sharing all the happenings going on here.... but more to the fact that I did not want to lack on any of my family time during the holiday seasons... As my kids are getting older, I just wanted to make sure going forward that I don't miss out on anything that is going on with them... They are growing so fast, and I don't want to miss a minute of it.. :)

but now that kids are back in school and I have a bit of more time to dedicate to this bloggity blog... :) thanks for following along and I will have more fun peeks coming soon.. ;)

Over the break I had the chance to photograph these beautiful families over at the ranch, all related and nothing but a good time.. :) Enjoy!

When I was asked to document Kym and David's wedding, I was beyond thrilled... and even more excited when the day finally arrived... It was beautiful, loving, magical and all around just a great, beautiful day...

I hope I did them proud with the imagery... :)
Enjoy the sneak peek.. :)

I love looking at LOVE...

Oh blog, Oh blog!!!

2011-10-09T21:34:00.000-07:00

Oh where or where have I been??? Gee... Somehow lately this blog has taken a leave of absence... Aaaah!!! I always try my best to update all the happenings that have been going on here. But I feel lately, blogging and posting has been put on the side burner for a while... Not for the lack of trying at least.. okay!!!.. Maybe for the lack of trying.. but also for the lack of TIME.. Kid's school, we have a new dog and just stuff.. good stuff... but a lot of stuff...anyhoooo...

I also have been busy photographing some beautiful people...some amazing events with beautiful people... and meeting new friends.. :) so bare with me as I try to catch up on the bloggity blog... :)

Here is what will be coming up soon... :)

A gorgeous engage session with a beautiful couple.

A pretty awesome family...
A little grape stomping...
another amazing family...
a family of four with 2 very spunky kiddos.. :)
and a 20 year class reunion... Yellowjacket included... ;)

How does YOUR garden grow? | Loma Linda Photographer

2011-08-28T21:26:00.000-07:00

A green thumb, I certainly do not have, but watching all of these little ladies gardening and playing in the dirt did look kinda fun.

I had the pleasure to hang out with all these little gardeners for the afternoon, and document a very fun birthday party. I never knew soil, mud and worms could be so YUMMY!!!

Enjoy.. :)

Gardening can also be yummy!!!!

I loved this cake.. so creative...

Jenny... | Redlands Photographer

2011-08-15T09:25:00.000-07:00

How many ways can I say "I love this girl"?.. I have no idea.. But I keep finding ways... :)

Jenny started as my intern and is still doing amazing things with me, but she has come such a long way that she is now venturing off on her own and spreading her wings... She is now in her senior year of high school, ASB president, and a awesome photographer among many other things... I am so, so proud of this girl in so many ways...

Jenny, whatever you do in your life, you are going to be amazing at it.. I am so proud.. :)

Rock your gorgeous hair, girlfriend.. :)

Bumpity Bump...

2011-06-30T09:38:00.000-07:00

Oh how I love these bump sessions... The miracle of life forming... When I really, really think about it, all I can say is "Aaaaah"! It really is such a miracle that God has blessed us with the ability to carry our children straight from the beginning. We women are pretty darn lucky....

Tiffany and Shawn... Wishing you many blessings on this awesome journey you are about to experience... When they say "love at first sight", you really will feel the immense power that phrase has.
Enjoy!

Happy 30th Matt...

2011-05-26T17:27:00.000-07:00

It's Matthew's birthday today. Matthew is my little brother . He would of celebrated his 30th today, and I miss him dearly. He passed away when he was just 18 years old. :)

There were 5 kids in all who passed that same morning. Imagine going to 5 funerals in one week and one being your youngest sibling? Strike that, don't imagine that.. Because that's not a fun thought. But that was our scenario, and one I'll never forget..

I don't write much about this sadness. Who likes to? I enjoy talking about the good feel stuff and especially love photographing the good feel stuff.. Like the celebrations of birthdays, events and the celebration of life. You know. Happy moments of our life.. So here I am writing..

But recently I have been photographing some of Matt's friends from school. They are starting families of their own and or about to. At this time in life, I wonder what Matt would be doing at this time in his life.

Would he have married his high school sweetheart? Would he have started a family with a few lil' Matt's running around? And maybe a dog named PLUR. What would his career choice have been? So many wonders.

I know he would have been awesome at whatever he would of done.. That, I am sure of... ;) and know he would of made the best uncle ever to my kiddos.

As much time goes by, there are never any certain ways to grieve. You just do the best you can.

Your grieve the hardest at the beginning and it changes over time certainly, but the heart still feels the same.. Loss.

I miss him just the same as I did 12 years ago and love him just the same. I know he is watching over us. I do believe his spirit is within me and my family, and I know I will meet up with him one day... And that is how I will celebrate his life and his birthday. Remembering the happy moments.

Enjoy your big 30 brother.

Happy Birthday Matt.

PLUR

Introducing Our "Little Rascals"

2011-05-05T12:56:00.000-07:00

Not quite old enough to remember this era, but old enough to know I have loved the little rascals as young as I can remember...

and so I am inspired by a thought in my head, a little flicker of a lightbulb goes on. and here we are.. :)

I hope you enjoy this post as much as I do. :)

A must watch video, this will take you back in time for sure...Big thank you to my husband Chris of Onward Films who captured all their smiles and all the fun as this play date unfolded.. :)

My awesome, awesome Father, I had a vision in my head and he saw it and helped me out so much.. He pretty much set the stage for us and welcomed all of us into his home... and he built the most amazing go-Kart ever.. The kids never wanted to get off of it... :)

To all the parents of these Little Rascals, for giving up their time for me so I can create something wonderful... Thank you, Thank you...
To my cousin Felicia, who was the needle and thread behind Darla's adorable attire.. pretty cute huh.. :)
To my awesome husband, who helped me through it all... I love you soooo much...

and the biggest thanks of course goes to our very Own Little Rascals themselves... Will (Alfalfa), Ruby (Buckwheat), Gianna (Darla) and my boy Ryder (Spanky)

Two Kisses for Maddy...

2011-04-27T12:50:00.000-07:00

and so much more.. :)

if you have not had a chance to pick up my friend Matt Logelin's book.. go do so now.. ;) you will be be so moved and also inspired by his touching story.. (and if I may add, his book recently is on The New York's Best seller List!!!!!! Go Matt!!!!)

I first met Matt when his daughter Madeline was first born, but at the same time, he was grieving over the loss of his beautiful wife Liz, who had just passed 27 hours after giving birth... He has been through many emotions through this time, but I am so proud of his accomplishments and his journey that took him to write his story and to share with all of us.

I have photographed Matt and Madeline on a few occasions and when he asked for one of the pictures I took to be the cover of his book.. I was completely honored to say the least...

Matt, I am so proud to call you a friend and we will continue to follow your journey to see what is in store for you next.

To continue to follow his journey, visit his blog here.

above images were taken at Barnes and Noble with my iphone, too excited not too take a pic, but too shy to take out the big guns.. ha!!!

holy macro.... {Redlands Photographer}

Just playing with my macro lens... wowza... talk about getting your close up.. Wowza!!!
and special tribute to Ryder's homemade bird feeder... a pine cone, a lil' bit of peanut butter and some seed for the birds... aaaah!!!! :)

Let's be photographed... {Redlands Photographer}

2011-03-01T13:33:00.000-08:00

We all want photographs of our family right?.. even photographers want photographs.. but we spend the majority of the time behind the camera and rarely in front of it.. and the photographer (meaning you, me.. us) has tons of pics of our own kiddos, but rarely of us in front with them...

Well, I could just be talking about me.. Maybe you.. but my point... Moms, Moms with cameras, photographers & image makers.. get in front of the camera.. you will be so glad you did.. these images are for our future generations to come... so our children can look back on these images and remember us and share us...

I think I really just wrote this post for me.. ha!!!.. But I'm so looking forward to getting in front of the camera with my very own family session soon, and taking my own advice... woo hooooo... :)

In the mean time, here are a few images of my photographer friend who stepped in front of the camera herself with her own loveable family.. ;) Enjoy!!!

To Sin City, Baby!!!!! {Redlands Photographer}

2011-02-18T14:55:00.000-08:00

Well, I am heading out to WPPI, and I'm sure this year is going to be nothing short of amazing.. This is the biggest photography conference with about 20,000 professional photographers in one place.. WOW!!!!

I look forward to this every year because I love getting inspired, learning and bringing back tons of motivation to help me in my business and personal growth as a photographer... :) and along the way I get to make new and amazing friends along the way...

Viva, Las Vegas Baby!!!!

and just in case, I will be out of my office from Feb. the 18 thru the 25th, and returning to work on the 28th...
Have a great weekend friends.. :)

Have I told you how much I love my iphone? I think I have here, here and here... :) I do! I do!

This little guy goes where I go and I shoot with it as much as I can.. So, when I am not lugging the big brother around or when I choose to leave him home, I bring little bro.. ;), my iphone.

here are some recent images.. :) Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

2011-01-10T22:56:00.000-08:00

I know, I know.. we are at day 10 already... See how fast we are going so far.. Yikes... and last year just kinda flew by as well...

I am so grateful for the year I had and counting my blessings every single moment that I have. I get to do what I love to do with the support of my family and the support of all of you. I feel so blessed to be able to photograph beautiful people, share these images with all of you, make new friends along the way and still be present at home with my family... I can't ask much more than that... :)

So, Peace out 2010 and welcome 2011. I'm excited for this great journey professionally and personally!
and hope you all too have an awesome 2011.

*The end of 2010 just kinda flew by, and I never had the chance to blog some of my favorite events, favorite sessions and favorite happenings along the way... so I need to play catch up for a bit.. :)

These are some images of my friends and family that came to model and help us out for us for out for our Sept. GTFO workshop. We had beautiful families, great friends and awesome family support. We are so appreciative to every single one of you who helped us out. :) Muah!

Peggy, Cathy and Felicia. You girls rock!

Giving is pretty awesome!

2010-12-26T08:53:00.000-08:00

Oh how I wish I can give the Giving is Awesome session to each family that was nominated, because I think every family that was nominated is just as deserving, but I could only pick one to be fair from the 9 families that were shared with me...

First of all, the folks that nominated these families.... Wowza to you.. To go out of your way to write me and give somebody else wonderful memories of their own.. You are just as awesome... Thank you, Thank you , Thank you! you are a true gift of awesomness!

Congratulations to Shannon and Anthony and their beautiful 6 children. Your sister Rachel had said some pretty amazing things about you, and also shared some of your story with me...,

Hi Gina,
I'm writing to nominate my sister Shannon and her beautiful family. They have been through so much in the last few years and I truly feel that they deserve and would treasure your amazing gift of photography.

Shannon and Anthony have 6 children between the two of them. Their youngest son Anthony was born on July 18, 2005 and had problems from the start. He was born with his intestines outside of his body. The medical terminology for this is Short Bowel Syndrome (Short bowel syndrome (SBS, also short gut syndrome or simply short gut) is a malabsorption disorder caused by the surgical removal of the small intestine, or rarely due to the complete dysfunction of a large segment of bowel. Most cases are acquired, although some children are born with a congenital short bowel. It usually does not develop unless a person has lost more than two thirds of his or her small intestineu.
He was in and out of surgeries immediately and had to take nutrients (TPN - Total Parenteral Nutrition) intravenously and sometimes with these nutrients, there is too much glucose which can cause liver failure. This happened to Anthony. He then received a liver transplant at 11 months old.
At age 2, baby Anthony had an Ostomy takedown and a Uteroplasty, to repair the kidney line to the bladder. During this 9 hour surgery, patients have to be grounded with a grounding device because they use a cauterizing gun to burn through the abdomen. It requires a pad, placed underneath baby Anthony's rear, and then plugged into an outlet so the electrical current goes to through the pad and to the outlet. The next morning, Shannon went to pick Anthony up and his back was stuck to the blanket and they found the 3rd degree burns in the exact shape of the grounding pad. The pad wasn't grounded correctly. It took almost a month for these 3rd degree burns to heal, with Anthony in excruciating pain at times and unable to lay on his back or sit-up.
Most recently, Anthony caught a virus because his immune system is depressed. This led to a disease called Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia. This means that his immune system is attacking his own blood. They tried to treat this with a series of steroids but baby Anthony didn't respond. They doubled the steroid treatment but still no response from his overworked little body. So 2 weeks ago, they inserted a pick line near his armpit. Last week they began the new medication, Rituximab (also used to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma). This will take his immune system down completely along with numerous side effects, like muscle and bone aches, extreme hunger, and nausea. Anthony is 5 now and in school but because of the new medication, and his immune system basically non-existent as the medicine begins to work, will have to be home schooled now. This broke his little heart as one of the most positive things in his short life, school, was now being taken away. The medicine is given 4 times this month. After this is over, they will re-test and see where Anthony stands.
Shannon and Anthony's other children ~ Alicia, Johnny, twins Mark and Andrew, and Carisma ~ have been through a lot as well with all of this. It takes its toll on them when mom and dad are gone so much and their brother is in pain and sick so often. They are an amazing family and their faith in God has been what has helped them the most through this difficult journey. They know that God doesn't give them more than they can handle and if you talk to them, you wouldn't know how much their struggle affects them in their daily life as they are always looking at the positive side of things.

Thank you for hearing our story. It feels good to write about it and know that someone is listening and wanting to hear our story. Thanks for what you are doing Gina - it's an amazing gift!

Sincerely,

Rachel

Thank you so much Rachel, I think you are pretty awesome! ;)

Merry Christmas!

2010-12-24T21:47:00.001-08:00

I opened up my Christmas present a bit early!!! I love it and this man of mine.. :)
Just wanted to share!!! :)

and it did not even cost a penny, but it is worth more to me than any store could ever offer... :)

Because Giving is Awesome!

2010-12-07T22:07:00.000-08:00

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

I am no Oprah, and I can not give away a vacation to Australia, or a car, or even a million dollars.. I wish I could.

But I can give away what I am capable of giving. My Talent, my time, my art and my love to someone deserving.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography like no other, more than just pictures, but an experience — $1500.00 worth to be exact. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.
Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a a complimentary session too. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be? you give, you feel good in your heart, and you get rewarded too.. :)

The rules:
* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services.
* They must reside in the Southern California area
* Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.
* You must e-mail me the full story to gina@ginaleephoto.com by December 20th.
The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thank you for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

Love, Gina

Please feel free to re-post!

Meet beautiful Mandy.. Rev's next high school graduate.. Class of 2011!!! I had been looking forward to this session for a long time... I have known Mandy since she was just a little girl, and when her mother called wanting me to photograph her for her senior pictures, I was completely honored and thrilled and so excited to see how beautiful and all grown up she is. WOW!!!!

I am so, so proud of who she has become and how beautiful, smart and athletic she is... I look forward to hearing about all her future successes. I know this girl will go far...

Thanks Mandy, I hope you had fun and it was a pleasure to hang out with you for the afternoon.. ;)

I had the pleasure of photographing her beautiful family,and I think I won the heart of her son by knowing every single Thomas the train engine friends.. ;) I had him at Percy and Gordon... and Yes, even Sir Topham Hatt. :)
Here's a little peek into our afternoon...

Redlands Photographer: My brown eyed girl

2010-10-20T10:40:00.000-07:00

When Madeleine asked me to go take her pictures outside in the rain the other day, I did not care what she was wearing, if her face was clean or even if she had on matching shoes, or even if my camera got a little wet... I jumped at the chance.. Because with Madeleine, she really does not like being in front of the camera when asked... Sure, I get the fun iphone pics, and the natural moments which I love, but it is very hard for me to get a good portrait of my own daughter.. SSSSH! our little secret...

So, out in the rain we went with her beautiful smile and the beautiful natural soft box of light we had.
I love you Madeleine.

Redlands Photographer: The Green bunch...

2010-10-20T10:05:00.001-07:00

I love the Green family... fun, loving, silly, adventurous, and they do it all with heart. Love that! :)

My boy is so rad... :)

2010-10-14T11:53:00.000-07:00

Both of them... one if front of the camera, one behind... Enjoy!

Muah!

Santa Monica Photographer: Fun in the sun...

2010-08-25T08:25:00.000-07:00

It was so fun hanging out with The Forchelli Family on a lovely Sunday afternoon in Santa Monica... :)

They have a beautiful new addition to their family since I photographed them last.. Meet Nate's li'l sister, Mia... Adorable, I know... She was so full of laughs and would pretty much have that beautiful smile during our whole session... a photographers' dream come true without even prompting... Ha!!! and Nate just wanted to run around and soak in all there was... who could blame him... you have the sweets, the games, the beach... It was all good... :)

Twenty Years later...............

2010-08-16T14:47:00.000-07:00

and we all meet we again... :)

I just celebrated my 20th High school reunion... and I will say, I was a bit nervous seeing everybody... can you blame me?.. It's only been like twenty years... Yikes... But so, so excited at the same time... ;)

now, now.. I know we have the ever so popular facebook, and I have caught up with many former classmates there, but something about seeing everybody in person and making a in person connection beats any Fb status ever.. :)

Everybody looked so awesome.. and some, well, quite ageless! a little jealous here..... How did they do that? seriously, How do people look exactly the same, if not better... 20 years later?... just minus the z. cavaricci's, the smell of Drakkar, the hard aqua net big hair, and the local motion decals :) I need to get my hands on that serum.. :)

To all my friends that were there... It was so fun seeing you again after all these years. It was fun chatting about the gool ol' days, and friends that did not make it.. we missed you and wish you were there.. :)
I hope we can stay connected and continue to meet every once in a while.. :)

Here is a little bit of fun from our very own photo booth.

Jenny, thank you so much for all your amazing talent.... we could not have these memories without you.... Big hugs!

CLICK HERE to see more of the FUN!!!!!!

To Shariem, Elena, Amy, Alice, Jenny, Vic, Scott and Andrea.... Thank you so much for all your hard work! what a successful night it was because of you... :)
and to my amazing husband Chris, for all your help throughout the evening.... Thank you, Thank you!!!! I love you so much!!!

We went to the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans...

2010-08-11T13:14:00.000-07:00

But I am still trying to get caught up... I will post more on our NYC trip soon... :) good times...

So here are some images I took the other day on the pacific ocean with my iphone... I love that little gadget... :)

more of the bump...

2010-08-11T12:33:00.001-07:00

I know I have said this before, and I'll say it again.. But there is just something about a new mother to be with a beautiful bump and her glowing skin.. aaaaaaaaaah!
Ann, you are just beautiful and I am so honored to document such a special time in your life... Many blessings to you and Richard.. You guys rock and so fun to be around, your baby is one lucky fella" :)
told ya'.. Beautiful......

and beautiful again... :)

we did a mini session at the house, but we will keep those private or for Richard's eyes only.. wink!wink! ;)

a pretty bump.....

2010-08-04T22:34:00.000-07:00

coming soon... :)

Fun in the OC.... :)

2010-08-04T12:48:00.000-07:00

Jaidean and her family came ALL the way from Washington JUST TO SEE ME... Ha!!!! Nah!!! just kidding... But it was fun just to type that out.. :)
They actually came out for a Southern Californina adventure.. Taking in Sea World, the beautiful beaches, Disneyland, Universal Studios, and I'm sure so much more... :) I actually live in California and I think I need to do one of her vacations here too.. ;)

But she did make time to see me... :) Jaidean is also a children's photographer, an incredible talented photographer at that... I was quite nervous to take her pics... squeeeeeel!!!! could you tell Jaidean? ha... But, I think it is important for us photographers to get in front of the camera every now and then with our own families.. I made a point to do it last year and so glad I did... Hoping all you moms with cameras do the same... :)

I think we get so caught up because of our jobs, our kids and taking other peoples pics, that we forget to get in "front" of the camera and create our own memories... So, do it...you will be so glad you did.. :)

Jaidean, it was so great to see you again and meet your beautiful family... Glad you had an awesome time here in Sunny So. Cal... ;) Come back soon!!! :)

Getting tha' funk out!

2010-07-27T12:30:00.000-07:00

We are so excited about our upcoming photography workshop, and all the planning is in full swing... There are so many fun details, we are so excited to share them.
There are still a few spots open, CLICK HERE for more details. :)

See you on the Farm.. :)

I bought a snorkel...

2010-07-25T20:00:00.000-07:00

and took my 5d underwater again for some more photography... I must say I am loving it so far, but there is so much to learn though, like "FOCUSING" amongst many other things.. :) ... There has been a lot of trial and and a lot of error... but it has been fun trying.. :)

so, enjoy my experimental journey as I learn as I go with this fun new hobby (with my new snorkel) :)

Meet my cousins... ;)

2010-07-21T12:45:00.000-07:00

I rarely get to see them, because they are so far away, But I was so happy when my cousin Monica called wanting to commission me to photograph her beautiful family. :) I was completely honored.. :)
Ok, I'll admit it, I do have a pretty good looking family, if I do say so myself.. :) Thank you cousins for being such a gracious host while we were in town... :)

Enjoy the preview of our afternoon together...

Up in a tree...

2010-07-07T18:49:00.000-07:00

Redlands Photographer: H20 + Kids + camera = FUN!

2010-07-03T06:57:00.000-07:00

pool fun!

Okay, I have to admit, YES!!! I was extremely nervous taking my very expensive camera underwater.....EEEEEks..... :)
But after the first initial submerge, it was all fun from there..... :) Very fun...

It is much harder composing a shot than I thought, so I do need some practice and a good snorkel.... But hey, for a rookie.... I think I did ok... :)

anybody want to be a underwater model? :)

Dang, he's cute!

2010-07-01T01:00:00.000-07:00

Ryder... Yes you are... :)

2010-06-21T00:40:00.000-07:00

This is where it all began.. :) Little ol' me liked to take pictures.. snap! snap! but then soon it developed into more than just a hobby...It was a passion, then I had people wanting to hire me...eeeks!!!... shoot!!! I did not even know what to charge or even know how to start a business with my talent.. But with a little push (okay, ALOT) of push from my husband Chris... Gina Lee Photography was born...

I surely could not have done it without all my wonderful and amazing friends, family and clients here in Redlands.. They trusted me, they believed in me and they pushed me to where I am today... and still do.. :) I will always be so grateful to all of you, THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you so much Redlands Magazine for coming out and featuring my business in your magazine.. What a thrill and a honor it has been... and a special thank you to Jennifer Dobbs, Amy Bentley, Eric Tom and Don Sproul for making me look good.. Ha!!! :)

and it sure did not hurt that my name was right next to Landon Donovan.. squeeeeeeel!!!!! :) I know.. I'm a geek... ;)

This bump is gorgeous......

and I mean GORGEOUS... :) I think there is something so striking about a woman with glowing skin, a beautiful smile, so in love and a beautiful belly bump to showcase the future of motherhood... :)

Congratulations Monica and Ian.. you two will make the most loving parents any child could ever dream of... he will be so lucky to have you both... and I can not wait to meet the little guy.. :)

Play, Laugh... Action!!!!
