Trina Gibbins Photography bio picture

Trina Gibbins

daughter, oldest girl of 6 kids, best friend, goofy, l can make people smile, sincere, wife, mom of 3 great kidos, dancer (not very good, though), silly, talkative, helpful, creative, love University of Oklahoma sports, loves to try new things, thoughtful....

I don't like to talk about myself so I put down things that others have said about me.  I love what I do and I love continuing to better myself and trying new ideas in photography.  I hope to keep this blog updated.  This is where you will find sneak peeks for your sessions, random thoughts that I might have and sometimes even specials that I might be running. I am always in need of people to try out new locations for me.  My kids won't cooperate anymore.

So grab a cup of coffee or tea, sit back and enjoy the site.  I hope you find something here that makes you have a happy day!  I look forward to hearing your comments.

Thanks for stopping by, 

Trina 

My own…

blog8Okay, so I don’t post my own very often.  There is a reason…my kids do NOT like me taking their pictures.

I asked them, no I begged them to go outside and snap a few.  ”Mom, how many?”  No, they needed a number and they were counting as we were

taking them outside.  ”Mom, you only said 5.”

Then it came to the clothing…”Mom, we look silly in these clothes.”

It’s freezing outside, the snow was coming down and I had to get something for the dogs to wear!!!  Did I mention that Mr. B was at the station?  It was all me and probably a good thing because I don’t think he would have been in on this one either!

We lug the “ugly” chair as it is called at our house outside trying not to slip, position it under the spot, and I start snapping.  The dogs were even cooperating for that split second.  However, Miss. Maggie the black cat darts out from under the bush and the picture with the dogs is lost for good.  So I said, “Don’t worry, I can still take your pictures.”

So after about a million and one bribes this is what I ended up with!

The End.

They don’t know it yet, but I am going to try again tomorrow…the falling flakes kind of get in the way of what I was trying to do!

I love her eyes…

img_1874-copyShe is walking and is really almost running!  Miss. K turned 1 and she is off.  I just love her eyes.

ONE warm day…

img_1647-copyimg_1653-copyimg_1796-copyWarm days are pretty rare these days.  I was able to get some of my rescheduled clients in last week.  I was so excited to see Miss. N.  She is so beautiful.  I love the blankie!

I just LOVE the Matilda Jane outfit she has on.  I went to lunch with my friend who sales Matilda Jane today! The new line is soooo precious.  I even found a cute jacket for me!

It comes out in the beginning of February.

Email me and I will give you her information to book a party!

A special relationship…

This was a special session.  These two little ones are cousins and they are super close.  One of them is moving to Colorado soon.  The weather has been so cold, but we didn’t have a choice.  They were so funny.  They really do fight like sisters do! I love that…because I have two sisters. It was so cold out that one of them said, “Mommy, it’s so cold I have cold splinters!” I thought that was so cute.  It was so true.  It did feel like splinters.

Take time today to give your best friend or cousin a call. untitled-1-copy

The weather is CRAZY these days.

I am so sorry if you are one of those waiting for a sunny day to have your sessions…we will get you scheduled.

Please be patient,  I really do think that the sun is going to come out soon.

Please keep in mind that that deadline for Valentine’s day is a week earlier this year.

Trina Gibbins Photography will be closed the first two weeks in February.

Nine months, a funky hat and a crazy rug!

img_0190-copyimg_0205-copyThe title pretty much sums it up.  I went to her house and we were looking for places to take pictures.  I hadn’t been there in nine months and I walked into their livingroom and there was a NEW piece of art.  I loved it.  It would work for what we needed to do.  The rug is hanging and it’s made out of men’s ties!  Who would have thought.

Have a great day,

Trina

Baby it’s cold outside…

img_9934-copyThis was a great family session.  This little one is only 5 years old and she is so fun!

Baby Blues…

He is now four months old and can almost sit on his own!  He is so strong.  He sucks his fingers and his mom LOVED this image…druel included!

img_9780-copyHave a wonderful day,

Trina

Sweet, Sweet, Baby….

img_9460-copyI was humming that Nora Jones song as I was writing this.  I thought, “Hey, that fits perfect for a title.”

It’s bitterly cold here.  I really want to go Christmas shopping, but I need a new funky hat!  Isn’t that a silly excuse?

Maybe I will find one tomorrow and be able to tell you about it!
