Planning a laundry mat, or clothes line shoot? Want to know what to wear?
Here a a few outfits I put together. Simple, easy!
The big kid outfits are from crew.cuts (J.Crew) and the toddler outfit is from baby Gap.
A little mismatching with some cute socks, overalls with no shirts and sweaters over them, head scarves and big sunglasses.
Too cute. 
I think doing 1st birthdays are so fun! The cake is the best part. The mess, not so much. Cutie L and her parents invited me into their home for a few pictures and a lot of fun. Here are just a few of my favorites from today.
As a mother I know how frantic birthday parties can be, especially when you have that under 5 years old crowd! As a photographer, I know that I want to get memorable shots, but trying to be the birthday hostess and the photographer can be tough.
I have these two packages that might cure your party blues.
Each package includes a mini session for the birthday boy or girl. This will be a 15-30 minute shoot of just them, doing things they love! Let them give you ideas for location, props, clothing etc. This session will provide the image for their custom birthday invites. This price also includes my time on the day of the party.
basic package- $275 includes the shoot, the 24 birthday cards, me on the day of the shoot and a mini 4×6 album of all pictures taken.
glamour package- $400 includes all of the above and a small studio set up in the party location, pictures of all the kids and individual pictures in 4×6 size of each party goer will be give as a gift to them.
Contact me and we can talk about which package is right for you and your child’s special day!
Just wanted to re-visit the mini-sessions for the Christmas season! Spaces are filling up for October and I am almost completely booked. If you want to get the beautiful fall foliage in your shots, its fading fast! Next weekend is the peak of the fall colors.
Also, I belong to a wonderful online group of photographers. Professional and just regular hobbyist alike, this is a great place to learn anything!
(you really don’t’ even have to be a mom, their are plenty of women, even some men!!)

File this one under personal, its my sweet baby Charlotte gracing your screen again.
I found this romper today doing something I love to do, thrifting! It’s a weakness. The two youngest and I hit the stores today while the oldest was in school.
I saw it and visions of frilly socks, vintage toys, patent leather shoes, and of course, the rachael trade mark bow, filled my head.
She tested me. She teased me. She tried to eat and lick the ground more times than I would have preferred.
She is a ham and I love it.
However, I would love better pictures in this romper! Its not happening with ms. squirmy pants. She is almost too big for it.
So, you have a 6 month old sized baby girl? Think this romper is to die for and you just NEED, and man I mean NEED pictures in it?
Great. First one to contact me gets a session on me, vintage baby style, yo.
PS don’t forget to vote for me : ) kansas city a*list is a great resource, check it out.
Mini Sessions will be Oct 10th and 11th and Oct 17th and 18th.
Wow, rachael, lets DO THIS!
So, contact me about further info on locations, what to wear, what to bring (besides your cute self, of course!)
Check my ‘products’ category of my blog to see the Christmas and Holiday cards I will be offering this year.
Next up, an adorable Senior and info on my own STUDIO!
I have been wanting to do a ‘body parts’ shoot with my youngest for awhile. Now she is way past the newborn stage, and my own crazy life got in the way of getting any decent newborn pictures of her.
But I had a few moments today to take these. As a mother, these are so touching. I want to offer this simple shoot to other mothers, please contact me today about booking a sleeping babe shoot! These will be priced differently, as I keep this as fresh and natural as possible. The shoot will be quick, and the processing very very light.
