Just as they get re-settled into the American life, they are off to life “down under” later this year (so fun!)

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 streaming through the windows.

I can’t wait to watch both of you grow and change, and watch the bond between you strengthen. It is a privilege to be a witness to it.

And I can’t wait to see the house when it is finished. What a wonderful place, full of love, to raise your family.

All the best, Rachel

What a perfect way to kick of the wedding season.

They are two beautiful souls so wonderfully in love. I can not wait for their wedding next month at the Clock Tower in Denver. The talented Jessica, of Weddings by Design, is helping them create a beautiful, intimate affair.

We can’t wait to add him to our family. One bonus to adding another photographer is that I actually get to be in some pictures now! RJ did a wonderful photo shoot of the four of us when our littlest girl was 5 weeks old. I will cherish these photos forever!

Regina and John are two amazing people. Regina is a preschool teacher for special needs children (and happens to be my awesome cousin too) and John is a kindergarten teacher. You can imagine that they are full of fun and have lots of energy.  They were troopers in the cold Colorado weather – it wasn’t their typical San Diego sunny and 70 degrees. I had the best time with you two!

I can’t wait to photograph your wedding on Coronado Island next summer!  Stay warm until then!

All the best, Rachel

I will be limiting my use of the computer over the next few months so that I can cherish this time. So if there is a delay in getting back to you, I apologize…but I promise you will hear from me soon!

We are gearing up for the arrival of the newest Olsen, any day now… literally.  We are waiting on pins a needles (with lots of anxiety on my part) to meet this newest bundle.

So if you are trying to reach me, and there is a delay… just know that I will return your call or email, it just may take me a little longer than normal.

Thank you to Julie Afflerbaugh for these great photos!
