Wow! 2009 was a crazy amazing year for us! It started out with our wedding and the beginning of rebecca hansen photography. In our wildest imaginations, we could not have dreamed of such a wonderful first year of marriage and of business. Photography has taken us all over the country to spend time with the most amazing couples. It has been a great adventure and we are looking forward to an even more amazing 2010 filled with weddings, a graduation, a cross country move, and a baby hansen.

But this is BY FAR our  favorite picture...

Merry Christmas!
I know this post is coming a couple days after christmas, but who cares.
It was our first christmas as a family, and we spent it right here at home. It was wierd not being surrounded by family with soirees to attend, but we loved it. It was our own little christmas.

While we were in Seattle we stayed with Chad's brother Kellen and his family. Kellen is busy in his second year of medical school and Erin is busy keeping up with cole and baby gracie. We had a really great time just sitting around and hanging out with them, but on this particular day, we had a great time exploring a bit of alki beach.
Merry Christmas you guys!

We had a really wonderful time taking them out to the middle of nowhere and covering their poor feet in snow with the promise of hot chocolate afterwards. They are beautiful people who you can't stop smiling and laughing around and have an infectious love for one another. We're really excited for their D.C. wedding in April so stay tuned for those! Meet Briton and Carlos:

During our Thanksgiving trip to Seattle we took a day out to go up to Vancouver, BC to explore. It was nothing at all like we had expected. We had a nice time, but didn't fall in love with it. We did fall in love with Stanley Park, though. Here are a few shots from our exploration of the park.

While we were in Seattle, we had the chance to finally spend time with the shumates. We know them through some mutual friends, but had never sat down with them before. We hit it off and had a really great time shooting some portraits with them. We lost light really fast, but managed to make a few good frames before they took over and worked their lighting magic. Check out what they shot of us HERE.

We spent thanksgiving week in seattle and had the chance to spend time with chad's brother kellen, his wife erin and their kids cole and gracie. Here is one frame from many that we'll hopefully post soon.
