Well, it has taken me slightly longer than expected to get through my fall editing (I bit off more than I expected) but luckily I had wonderful faces smiling at me everytime I sat down to my computer! Thank you to all of the families (45!)  that joined in the Mini Session fun this season! I had new clients that I met for the first time this year, former brides and grooms from years past, and portrait clients I have been photographing every year since I “opened my doors.”   I am so grateful that… Read More »

Ah three months… just when they start to smile, interact and hopefully sleep a little more!  This cutie was a star during his three month shoot, and I think he is already daydreaming about the ice hockey games in his future. Thank you for inviting me to photograph your little man! All the best, Rachel  

I am so grateful that my path has crossed with Lindsey & Jeff’s. It all started in January of 2010 when I got an inquiry about a wedding to be held at Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge. I was packing to head out of town but told Lindsey that I would put a packet of info in my suitcase and mail it to her once I arrived out east, and then we could have a follow up meeting in Colorado when I returned (I was assuming she lived in Colorado). Well, as luck would have… Read More »

This sweet little peanut is 8 months old already! You may remember her from her newborn portrait shoot, which feels like it took place just yesterday… how time flies! And you can’t forget big brother…who is also getting bigger, and more hilarious by the moment. This darling family is in the middle of building their new home, and decided that it would be the perfect location for the shoot- and it was. I love how clean and simple the images are.  We laid out a white blanket and enjoyed the amazing natural light that was… Read More »

Well, as promised… here is the update.  (Not about me- yet!)  But about this beautiful family and their newest addition.  They welcomed a beautiful baby girl just under a month ago. It was so fun to visit them at their home in Denver and see how they are adjusting to life as a family of four. Big brother is doing a great job with his little sister.  I love the series of him checking out her toes and then making his way up to give her a “hug”! As their pediatrician  said, they will raise a tough… Read More »

I had a great day with these beautiful families in Denver’s City Park.  What a pleasure- a full day of interacting with these amazing parents and kids. Thanks for taking part in my first ever Denver Mini Session day… I’ll be sure to repeat it next year! Best, Rachel

Look at these two darling kiddos.  No, they are not twins- one is about 2 years older than the other.  The wonderful thing for me was that I was invited down to Denver to photograph both of them when they were both roughly 4 months old. So big brother is on the left in the next two images, and his pictures were taken about 2 years ago. Little brother’s photos were taken just about 2 weeks ago and he is on the right in the next two images.  It is so fun to see the comparison of… Read More »

Just because it’s winter, that doesn’t mean you can’t get great outdoor portraits, especially here in Colorado!  The key is to pick a place that has some non-deciduous trees or a great background to take away from the lack of green grass & leaves on the trees. Then you hope for one of Colorado’s wonderful 40-50 degree days full of sun. With that combo you can get a great day of winter portraits! (Or you can hope for a light snow or snow on the ground and that too can make for a perfect backdrop!) With… Read More »

What a fun, gorgeous evening in Denver! And what a stunning family to spend the evening with! You may remember these cuties from a few years ago…wow how they have grown and they have gotten even cuter- which I didn’t think was possible! Here they are now… And here they are a few years ago… Thank you so much for inviting me to spend time with your wonderful family- I can’t wait to see how much bigger these cuties are at our next shoot!  Cherish this time. Best, Rachel

Could it possibly have been another year? This amazing family is one of my favorites (because I am lucky enough to call Megh one of my besties!), but it is so hard for me to believe that another year has slipped by. Is that possible? Well, yes…in the chaos that is called “life”…I can see why a year slips by before our eyes, without us really noticing.  Honestly, I think that is why I love photography so much.  It forces me (us) to capture moments in the craziness of life, in order to document time… Read More »
