So, I've been thinking. When I sit alone and think, a lot comes to me. Lately I was pondering my blog and wondering why it's become so laborious to post. Then I realized that posting on my blog is very much like making my bed. Sometimes I go for months where my bed is neatly made every day, which makes my room look tidy, which makes me happy. Then, one day I won't make my bed. Then, it's not made for the next two weeks.
Yes, that's a lot like how I blog.
Sometimes I'm totally on top of my game, blogging every client session, blogging personal things, blogging my lists. Then I miss a day. Or five. And it's all downhill from there (because, unlike making my bed, the blog posts back up and then I'm behind and, oh my! it becomes overwhelming).
I thought I'd get caught up this weekend and schedule some posts for the next week and a half while I'll be gone. Needless to say, it didn't happen.
I'm off to see my sweet sister who lives across the pond, who I haven't seen for almost 20 months. I'll be available via email, but won't be posting until I get back.
Until then, be well!
Just a little peek at our session together.
Christy, I think you're fantastic. You've got a lovely family and I'm so pleased to know you! All the best!!
ps. I LOVE the light and shadows in this shot:::





thank you so much for sharing your time and talent with us. You are so sweet and great to work with and your talent is amazing! This is a night that I will never forget. Thank you, thank you!
(08.08.10 @ 12:10 AM)Fun location, fabulous images. These are wonderful. And yes...a BABYSITTER! What a fantastic idea.
(08.09.10 @ 12:08 AM)What a super cute family... TOTALLY ADORABLE images!! Love how full of life they are and that gorgeous evening light.
(08.15.10 @ 10:35 AM)New babies make me swoon. Being with a brand new little person makes me want 10 children. So it's probably fortunate for JT that I only spend a little time with them before I pack up my bags and leave.
Last week I photographed Juliette, only 4 days old. She was a peach! She slept the entire time, and my sheepskin rug was as clean at the end as it was at the beginning. (Good baby, good baby...)
The beautiful Juliette::::







Gorgeous session Rachel!! What a beautiful baby (and beautiful name!). These images are perfect and I love seeing all those perfect wrinkles on her foot too!
(08.04.10 @ 05:42 PM)You captured all the beautiful details of a newborn baby. Love them all. These parents are so blessed to have an adorable little girl, and such special photos!
(08.04.10 @ 05:52 PM)Love then all! So very precious Rach....that toe shot is to die for :)
(08.04.10 @ 06:01 PM)That super close-up of her hand by her face made me reach out and touch the screen! Seriously! I could almost feel her soft newborn skin. Really well done, my friend. :)
(08.04.10 @ 11:46 PM)Swooning over here myself. These are beyond beautiful and that last shot turned my heart into mush!! Fabulous job my friend!! xo
(08.05.10 @ 03:23 PM)absolutely woozy from the sweetness of little juliette, rach. and the wrinkly foot? OH MY. would TOTALLY be a canvas at my house. wow!
(08.07.10 @ 04:29 PM)It's been so entertaining to watch her develop a little personality and find her place in our family!



The eyelashes!
(07.28.10 @ 07:40 PM)The eyelashes!
(07.28.10 @ 07:40 PM)I can't wait to kiss your sweet little cheeks, beautiful baby! She is a doll Rach. Two more weeks... two more weeks...
(07.29.10 @ 12:13 AM)She is so precious! Your kids are stunning Rachel.
(07.29.10 @ 01:05 PM)I looked at your blog while feeding Benjamin lunch and the instant he saw Maura he smiled so big and started talking to her in a high pitched sound...so cute! She is adorable and I can't wait to meet her in person someday. Hope all is well!
(07.29.10 @ 02:13 PM)Love these! I forget that she's the same age as Marek - it's fun to see her "growing up" with mine! :)
(08.01.10 @ 07:27 PM)Rach, you make BEAUTIFUL kiddos!! Oh my goodness, she is such a doll!! I want to squeeze her : )
(08.03.10 @ 09:15 AM)what a gorgeous little punkin! SO fun to watch her grow through your images, my friend. :)
(08.07.10 @ 04:31 PM)I love that I have a 3 1/2 year old who still takes a long nap every afternoon.
I love that I found her in my bed today.
I love that there was a little stack of books right next to her.
I love those lips.

This is so cute! Gosh I miss you guys! :)
(07.21.10 @ 05:42 PM)Sweet pea. These are beautiful. Seriously the light in your room is so amazing. I knew it when I saw it. And the stack of books? Soooo precious. She is going to be a reader. Something I wish for all of my children.
(07.21.10 @ 05:43 PM)Darling :)
(07.21.10 @ 06:50 PM)I love this precious moment you've captured. Nothing better than clean white sheets and a sweet little sleeping beauty!!
(07.21.10 @ 09:48 PM)Rachel - that sleeping one is PRICELESS!!!! absolutely perfect.
(07.22.10 @ 05:54 AM)Oh my goodness I LOVE that last picture!! She's such a little beauty- and I love the white shirt and white sheets and gorgeous eyelashes. And those cute little lips!
(07.27.10 @ 01:01 PM)Your sweet sleeping beauty melts my heart!! These are some of the sweetest images I have ever seen. Gorgeous, Rach, simply gorgeous!!
