Merry Christmas!! l Salt Lake City Utah Photographer

Merry Christmas to you! A HUGE GINORMOUS thank you (and big hugs too) to all of my wonderful clients! 2011 was a fantastic year and I loved every minute of it! Keep checking back for some really fun things happening in 2012!


Lots and Lots of love!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I can't let the Thanksgiving week pass by without thanking all of my wonderful clients this year! It has been a wonderful year and I am so grateful to you all! I hope you have a wonderful upcoming holiday season!

Please note that I will be taking the rest of the week off (I will be editing away still though!) to spend time with my family! I will be back Monday, so if you leave a voicemail or email, I will get back to you after then!

I am also completely booked for the rest of the year. I can hardly believe it myself! YAY! I am hoping to have all sessions wrapped up and completed by the middle of December so that I can enjoy the holidays with my family.  I won't be booking any sessions until sometime in January. I will be back with more details. There will be some changes coming first of the year so keep posted. Also, if you are not a fan on facebook yet, go like my page. I have some fun specials and events planned for 2012 and some may only be offered there! Plus...fans make me happy! :)

Have a wonderful and safe holiday season!

With love,
Rachel

Cause I am on a roll...sneak again!

Waiting to see how your pictures are turning out can be pure torture! I wish there was more to peek at...but I gotta get back to work! :)

Well hello you!

Hello out there!

I am not dead. :)

I am just swimming away in edits!

After the crazy season is over I am going to have a heyday updating this blog!

Until then, here is a sneak for a cute family!

Things you should know about your photoshoot with kids...

 Family photos are some of my favorites and here are the reasons why...

There is ALWAYS time to say hi to your best buddy,

not to mention breaking into song just cause you can.

Striking your best pose for the camera is always a classic

but I keep shooting and you just might get some material you can bribe them that you will use later on in life when they become teenagers...

There is always something that is way cooler on the ground than me.

It is always important to relax and have a good time together.

Sometimes sisters just gotta hug.

There will be smiles all around. You may bribe with ice cream after the session is over but just give me a few minutes with them...I have some REALLY cheesy jokes up my sleeve. I can (and will) embarrass myself for the sake of a smile.

Couples shots are important. Very important. 

And don't worry... in the end there will always be plenty of pictures for your wall 

 to remember just why you had pictures in the first place, because they won't be this size forever...

Fall Family Special Reminder

This is the time of year that families look to get their family photos updated and Christmas cards done! Just another heads up about my fall special....

I am almost completely booked for the rest of the year (Thank you fantastic clients!!!) so if you are wanting to book, get in asap! Please mention you want the fall family special when booking!

Fall Family

This awesome family was so much fun! This little girl is going to be one seriously cute young lady and any guy wanting to date her is not only going to have to go through Dad but two big brothers! She had me cracking up, she loved posing for me! Enjoy!

Sunflowers!

To say I am behind on this blog is an UNDERstatement! I am sooo behind. I get going on editing sessions, getting the galleries up for clients and right next to the edit...the blog gets neglected way more than it should so in the next (hopefully) few days I will be posting more!

This awesome family was so much fun to work with! I had done pictures of their adorable two year old earlier in the year and was thrilled to get to work with the whole family this time! A field of sunflowers?!! Doesn't get much better than that, does it?!

Miss Utah beauties sneak peek

Look at one of the sessions I am working on right now!

These beautiful girls are the Miss NAM Miss Utah girls. There is a winner in each division and let me tell you...they are JUST as beautiful on the inside as they are out. I will have more pics of them soon, this is just a quick peek.

p.s. I feel just as guilty about eating M&M's or a bowl of ice cream editing these as I do when I watch Biggest Loser! :)

Can't Wait

I just finished up a session and I promised her that I would wait to put it on the blog until after she saw them first! I can't wait to put them up here! How is that for being mean and torturing you?! :) SOON! I promise!!

One man and three ladies l Utah Family Photographer

I have said it before (millions of times) but I will say it again...I love what I do!

This sweet family was so much fun to photograph. My cheesy jokes worked like a charm on the girls! This lucky dad is surrounded by three beautiful girls and he loves every minute of it!

Just a side note: my time frame from shoot day to getting galleries up for clients is at 2 1/2 to 3 weeks out. I am working as quickly as I can, if you are wanting to book for this fall/holiday season, contact me ASAP, spots are almost filled up for the year!

Sweet Baby Girl

I finally was able to photograph a newborn baby girl and I could hardly wait for her to get here! She was the sweetest most sound sleeper that I have ever had. (She isn't sleeping at night for poor Mom and Dad at night though...shoot!) I moved her from shot to shot and she kept sleeping. I could have photographed her for HOURS!

Some of my favorite people l Utah Children's Photographer

Happy 2nd Birthday to two of my most favorite clients! Are they not the cutest kids in the world?!


I was lucky enough to take their pictures for their birthday last year and was thrilled to be able to come back and take them again. I can't believe how much they have grown in the last year.

I had a blast with them and their awesome parents. Thank you so much!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
