These are gorgeous Rachel!!
(01.13.12 @ 03:31 PM)When Marni called and talked to me about the idea of a family session straight out of the '50's, I didn't hesitate. This was somewhat out of the box for me, at least in terms of processing, but I felt it was appropriate for these images and the look we were going for. Their Christmas cards were so darling, and I loved the vibe from that evening!
I've claimed for years now that I was meant to live in the 1950's... shooting this era made me believe it even more!

























Love it! Beautiful pics. Love the gun show :) seriously awesome moments captured!
(01.13.12 @ 06:42 PM)A new year and a new chance to be better.
In lieu of a long list of personal and professional goals (neatly written and categorized),
I'm taking a new approach to New Year's Resolutions.
This year, I have one word which I will live by,
and a small list of affirmations which I will repeat and believe and allow to resonate within me.
My word is NOURISH.
I will nourish my spirit,
I will nourish my body,
I will nourish my mind,
I will nourish my marriage,
I will nourish my individual relationship with each of my three children.
I will nourish the relationships with those closest to me.
I will nourish the virtue of gratitude, and count my many blessings.
I will let go of those things which bind me and weigh me down, those things which are unimportant and unfulfilling.
My personal affirmations are these:
I am a daughter of a Heavenly Father who loves me, and I love Him.
I am strong and capable.
I am determined.
I am happy.
I can do hard things.
I can make myself better. I will make myself better.
I am grateful, for my life is richly blessed.
Welcome, 2012.
This is awesome! Well said, I love it!
(01.05.12 @ 09:38 AM)LOVE this. It is perfect and simple and real. Such a great vision for the year. You nourish me my friend!
(01.05.12 @ 10:04 AM)I love this. I too have made similar decisions for this year! Thank You for sharing these!
(01.05.12 @ 10:30 AM)I've always been inspired by your attitude Rachel! You are amazing. Happy 2012!
