Gorgeous Rachael

By In Portraits
Elegant in the Light

I am embarking on a new journey in my photography, and I am so excited. I don’t know exactly what it will look like yet, but I sense God moving me into a direction that is already blessing me down to my toes. I know it involves capturing the beauty in women, and helping to build their confidence in themselves. I will most definitely blog more about this as it develops. I believe there are amazing adventures on the horizon as I continue to seek God’s way for my path as an artist.

When I asked Rachael if she would help me begin this journey, she graciously agreed. No, she does not work as a model. I don’t even think she has been photographed much except for her engagement and wedding photography. Truthfully, she doesn’t even really know how stunning she is. She has a light that radiates from within her. Rachael’s spirit is so pure and honest. She is the girl next door, married to a hardworking cowboy and lives in my hometown. I cannot tell you how much fun we had playing dress up with a make up artist and a flower wreath fit for a princess. It truly was a wonderful day. I think every woman deserves to feel this beautiful, and I want to be part of making that happen.

Thank you sweet and beautiful Rachael. You are a light.

    These are really great photos. I enjoy reading your blog. Photographing women to build confidence in themselves is a really unique idea, it’s hard in our society today to have that kind of confidence and to know that we are beautifully made.

    Lovely pics! Sign me up to be one of your subjects. I could use a dose of beautiful. Unless, like my eight-year old said, you only take pictures of Rachaels?
