kallima photography - the blog bio picture

welcome to kp.

im rebekah. thats my husband ben, to the left. i am blessed by him every day. he is the second face and shooter behind kallima photography. it is hard for me to shoot a wedding without my husband by my side, and we are so lucky to be able to take pictures together. ben and i recently welcomed our first little adventure into this world, josiah. words cannot adequately express how amazing it is to be a mom. this blog is to document my incredible clients, my adventures, my life, and my family. nothing that i have done or will do would be possible if i were not unconditionally loved by my amazing Savior.

i am a wedding, engagement, and life photographer in west palm beach, florida. my approach to photography is simple: let it be. let it be fun, let it be natural, let it flow. a friend once asked me what i like to photograph most. i told her engagements. but the more i sat and thought about that, i realized that no...thats not right. i love to photograph love. love in all forms...love that comes as laughter, tears, shouts, dance, silliness, and yes...vogue. (love IS VOGUE!) i love love. i love to see my clients in love..whether it be with their dog, their daughter, or their soulmate.

if you've been here before, hi:) welcome back. if its your first go round checking me out, hello:) thanks for stopping by. i like to think that my work speaks for itself, that its incredibly obvious and intentional, like me. i love natural light, bright colors, real moments, and photos with energy and emotion. clients describe a session with me as "fun, and full of laughs". email me, and maybe we can laugh together soon.


:: engagement :: dara&daniel

i just love these two. they are that couple who are so easygoing in their love. we met up at mizner and ended up shooting at the Boca resort and club, (so beautiful!), so needless to say, we got some great images.  they are fun, free, fashionable, and that dara is fearless! their love lights up these pictures. enjoy! cant wait for March you two!

:: wedding :: shannon&rob

ahh shannon and rob. you probably remember them from their absolutely rockin’ eshoot. they’re insanely photogenic and obviously in love. their wedding day at the addison was beautiful! im beginning to love that venue more and more. the staff are incredible, and are constantly running around to make sure the day flows super smooth.

shannon and rob were completely surrounded by family on this day. really supportive, really loving family. it was a cool thing to see for sure. i am always amazed at the difference it makes when there is family there with you to support you and shoo you along in making the biggest decision of your life. not that shannon and rob needed any shoo-ing. these two have been waiting for this day for years and you could see it in their faces. enjoy! thanks shannon and rob for letting us be there!

venue: the addison, boca raton

:: engagement :: whitney & lane

what a fabulous couple. their wedding is in March and I cannot wait! whitney and lane were my “promo video” couple, and they totally rocked it at the W Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. Special thanks to the W and Monica Burgos their marketing manager. They gave us free reign of the hotel and we explored every nook and cranny. Whitney and Lane were so natural, even with cameras AND video-cameras all over them. thanks you two for being my video couple! cant wait to release the video, and really cannot wait to see you guys again in March. enjoy!

:: cause :: Share the Love!

hey clients and friends and family! happy monday:) ive got so many posts to…well, post! weddings, engagements…you name it, its coming soon. those of you who are waiting patiently, thank you for doing so. I’m working hard!

but enough about that, lets get to the really important stuff. giving back. we all know the terrible crisis Haiti is in. we’ve all seen the horrific images, read the heartbreaking stories of death, destruction, hunger and hurt. My SoFly girls have stepped it up bigtime, and organized this amazing event called Share the Love. It is this Saturday in Hollywood, Florida from 9-2pm. The details are all below.

All you need to know is to be there and get ready to have great pictures taken of you and your hubby, dog, family, boyfriend/girlfriend/best friend, or goldfish. whoever or whatever, we’ll be taking pictures of it and you will be helping us to make a big dent in the funds needed to give some relief to people so in need.

COME OUT! be a part of something bigger than yourself! we are so excited and know there will be a huge turn out!
