A new year and new faces! But before I share a sneak peek of my first session of the year, I would like to thank all of my wonderful families and clients for letting me into their lives last year. All the smiles and laughter have enriched my life and I am honored to capture the precious moments of you and your loved ones. :) Thank you for a wonderful time! Here is a little re-cap of my 2010:

WISHING YOU ALL WONDERFUL THINGS THIS NEW YEAR!!

I headed to one of my favorite spots for urban shots last weekend to meet up with Chris for his Senior Photos. We roamed the streets looking for great texture and color and came up with some great captures. Enjoy your sneak peek, Chris. And all the best for a successful future! :)

I know what you’re thinking–it’s been a looong time since I shared a client session! Well, rainy days, winter activities, and new house hubbub have slowed me down a bit, but Spring is nigh and I’ve got many weekends lined up all ready. :) I’m sharing this session with a fun group of guys who founded a comedy group called KWIS (Know What I’m Sayin’?). I didn’t get a chance to share it late last year, so here are a few of my favorite shots to tide you over until my upcoming sessions!

As year-end approaches, each day seems to fly by faster and faster. My weekends are completely jam-packed with photo sessions and personal commitments for the rest of year, and with great reluctance and a heavy heart, I’ve had to turn some of you away. I wish there were more hours in the day!! But rest assured that I will follow up and book you that session that you deserve! :) And we all deserve one, don’t we?

I’ve been truly blessed this year–to have had such a wonderful and positive response to my photography and to my journey in developing my skills and my own style as a photographer. I’ve had the joy of working with friends, and friends of friends, and meeting new and wonderful, fun-loving people who let me take a little peek into their own lives by capturing that laugh or the tickle that ignites giggles from their toddler. And I hope to meet more of you!!

So the 2010 Calendar is open for sessions. If you’re interested in a photo session for yourself or your mom or dad, send me an email. If you want capture your baby’s first smiles, email me. Or if you have been putting off getting that family portrait with 4 generations of your family, please, email me. :) We’ll set something up in the coming year and make it a wonderful and memorable experience from which you’ll have a photograph–a memento, a keepsake–to remember and cherish…

I do hope to hear from you soon!

All the best,

~Rachelle  :)

I had the chance to meet with Derek over the weekend. We had a fun shoot in Riverside capturing the many faces of this talented young man. Lucky for me, I’l get to meet his comedy team for some group shots in a couple of weeks! Should be a ton of fun. Thanks, Derek! :)

I had the wonderful opportunity to do some headshots for a young actress this past weekend in Norco. What a great personality and a very bright young lady. Not to mention how stunning she is! No doubt she will go far…
