As of September, we will no longer be known as Racheal’s Photography. After much soul searching, and beating our head into a wall, we have decided to change the name to Bella la Vita photography. It means lovely life in Italian. : ) It will still be us behind the new name, and we would love for everyone to be a part of these exciting changes! Be on the lookout for “Grand Opening” specials in the coming weeks!

When I spoke to Ashley about taking Bayley’s newborn portraits, I was so excited, because I had not been able to visit with this wonderful family since their wedding.  Everyone was still as awesome as I remembered them to be, and now they have Bayley, which is turning out to be just as amazing as the rest of them.  Ashley, I had such a great time with your family, and I can’t wait until we get together again.

These two are just too darn cute…

What can I say about this uber awesome family?   That they are super sweet, and have amazing good looks?  Or is it their sense of fashion?  Whatever it is, I LOVE photographing them!  Our relationship started with a chance encounter at a wedding and blossomed from there.  We started with a maternity session, then newborn pictures, and now family images.  I simply adore this family, and look forward to all the beautiful images we can make together.

You know, instead of doing lots of  different posts of all the seniors I had the pleasure of photographing the last couple of months, I decided to just combine them all into one.  Here are some highlights.

I know it’s been FOREVER since I made a post on the blog and for that I sincerely apologize.  My only excuse is that I have been so busy between babies, and seniors, that I haven’t been able to take the time to post.  Since things have slowed a little, the next few days I will be posting some new images for you to enjoy.  First is Avery, and I warn you, major cuteness is on the loose!

This little beauty definitely kept me on my toes at her recent session!  Since she has become mobile, there is absolutely no stopping her now. I managed to snag some great images of her in between chasing her down, and here are some faves.

Stormy was such a blast to photograph, not only is she a fan of ANTM, (which is my all time FAVORITE show) but this girl has some mad “smizing” skills!  She is also madly talented, and I can’t wait to see your performance Friday in Little Shop of Horrors. Of course it’s hard to imagine how great someone is without images, so here are some of my faves.
