About us
I am an Australian freelance writer and photographer, currently living in Omaha, Nebraska, USA.
I specialise in adventure travel for families. I gravitate to natural, outdoors locations rather than urban environments. I would prefer to sleep under a cloudless star-filled sky than to sleep in a 5 star resort. You will most likely find me hiking up a mountain or zip-lining down one, usually dragging my children along for the ride.
Before moving to the USA in 2015, I worked as a professional photographer in Australia, and was a member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP). I ran my own photography business for 10 years.
My work has appeared in publications both in the US and Australia, including:
- The Huffington Post
- Omaha World Herald
- Shadow Lake Living
- Holidays with Kids

Canberra M. asked:Hello, Can you please post? I am looking for a photographer to take photos of my nearly 7 month old boy. I'd also like some family shots, and some of my nearly 3 year old DD. I don't want to spend a fortune, and ideally would like the photos on a CD. I would like a professional/business, opposed to someone starting out or doing photography as a hobby. I'm located Southside. Any recommendations on photographers and/or special deals are appreciatedRebecca O. replied:www.rebecca-olsen.com.au :) Rebecca Olsen Photography www.rebecca-olsen.com.au Gorgeous custom portraiture for families in Canberra Australia

Tim J. asked:Hi Denners. My wife's Grandmother is turning 97 soon and we're looking for a photographer to take some portraits and group photos at a family event. It will be around 11am on Saturday 8 June out in Bungendore. I imagine it will be much the same as taking group photos and portraits at a wedding - but a bit simpler (because it's not a wedding). Probably only need an hour (max) of your time. We'd want digital images and prints of a few choice images. Please PM me with your rates and, ideally, a link to your site for example images if you're available and interested (so to be clear - we're paying, I'm not asking for a freebie).Rebecca O. replied:I'm available on the 8 th. Prices all available on my website www.rebecca-olsen.com.au.

Brent G. asked:A friend of mine has been put in charge of finding a professional photographer to do some corporate headshots for the company she works for. They will need someone who can make 3 separate visits (due to people's availability) to shoot approx 45+ headshots and 4+ group shots. They'll want to use the images for web and print. If you're interested, send me your details (incl. website/portfolio etc) and I'll pass them on to her. :)Rebecca O. replied:I'm interested too (and if someone else here gets the gig, I'm available to work as an assistant). www.rebecca-olsen.com.au

Jonathan D. asked:Holla Denners - Coming down your way next weekend. I have a family shoot to do - reccomendations for locations? Thinking around the lake / lennox gardens. Blossoms out? Thanks!!!Rebecca O. replied:I did a shoot at Lennox this afternoon. The wind/rain has done a number on the blossoms and there wasn't as many as normal. Still looks pretty, though. I'll be putting a sneak peak of the session on my blog, probably Sunday, if you wanted to keep your eye out and see what it was like. (www.rebecca-olsen.com.au)

Robyn G. asked:Are there any Canberra photographers in here interested in this referral. It is a diplomatic family from Ireland, and they live at the Irish Embassy in Empire Crt Yarralumla. The catch is, they can only have their portraits taken at 11.00am next Wednesday morning. Dad flies in from Europe same day, arriving back in Canberra at 9.00am, and has a lot of work, so can only spare 30mins out of his day. Eldest son flies back to Europe the next day to commence Uni again. 3 Children - 2 boys ages 19 and 17, and one girl aged 12. They want the images taken in their house or in their garden, so if you are familiar with the embassy, you will know it is not a huge embassy. They really only want one beautiful image of their family :-)Rebecca O. replied:I'm available that day, prices and info on my website www.rebecca-olsen.com.au
