Summer Time!

We have been having a BLAST all summer photographing all of our NEW 2013 FACES' Models!  We started before school was even out for the summer with the new class and have been going, going, going ever since with the MOST AMAZING seniors around!  We can't wait to reveal all of them to you on our friend page.  Until then, stay in touch, see what we are up to because we are always posting NEW and GORGEOUS images on there, and talking about what's going on around here! ;)

Until then...   Much love and stay cool! ;)

XOXXO,

Rachelle :)

2012 Models as seen on Facebook ;)

Here are some more of our FABULOUS 2012 Faces' Models that we shared on facebook!  Thought we would share these gorgeous faces with you on here as well! ;) ...We had a BLAST with all of them this past school year and really are so very blessed with the PRETTIEST, seniors around! ;)

Closed

Due to a family emergency, Rachelle James will be closed this week.  Thank you for your understanding and patience.  Sorry for any inconvenience.  We will re-open next Tuesday, June 5th.

SMASH CAKE SESSION!

Her "Signature Look"

Happy Birthday Chloe!  This cutie patootie turned one about a month before Christmas and can ALWAYS make me smile!  Not only have we received the privilege of capturing her from the moment she was born in the hospital to many of her stages throughout her first year, but to NOW with her FIRST Birthday Cake!!! :)

We had a blast to say the least and before she let out some UBER cute smiles, she definitely took the, "It's my party and I can cry if I want too!" slogan to heart! ;)  She showed us all the different sides of her personality and we had a blast capturing them!...  I found it humorous because I finally found a girl who likes her hands as clean as much as I do!  She TOTALLY disliked getting her face too messy or even her hands dirty!...  Lol.  She is too cute, such a girl, and TOTALLY my niece! ;)  WE LOVE YOU CHLO CHLO AND HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! :)

Rachelle James 2011 TOP MODEL

 These are the first few glimpses of Hanna from our Next is Now Event we just got back from a week or so ago in Palm Springs, CA.  We had a blast and LOVED getting to photograph Hanna in tons of AMAZINGLY AWESOME locations, but what made it even MORE FUN was just HOW MUCH FUN it was being around Hanna and watching her just be beautiful!  She's a natural model and we are sooo glad she got to go with us as our Rachelle James 2011 Top Model!

THANK YOU Hanna for sharing your senior year with us!  We have LOVED every second of getting to know you more and more! :)  You have made us VERY proud and represented us VERY well! ;)

Fit w/Vic and the Red Mud Run 2012

We had a blast photographing Vicki with Fit w/Vic a couple of weeks ago.  This lady is not only beautiful, but completely in shape!  I had fun capturing her doing what she does best, working out!  Now, we have some beautiful images for her to update her portfolio and website with (http://www.fitwvic.com)...  I can't wait to see which ones she chooses to share with all of you.  

Getting to know Vicki more and more, I realize she not only cares about her own health and fitness, she truly cares about others as well and is hosting the upcoming 2012 Red Mud Run with DG Productions on May 20th!  To find out more information, find RED MUD RUN on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/RED-MUD-RUN/137336286386890 and get dirty with them on May 20th!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! :)

Okay, so in grade school one of MY FAVORITE holidays was VALENTINE'S!...  Why?  Because it was ALWAYS full of SO much love, laughter, cheer, sweet notes, and candies to take home to share with everyone...  Of course, my mom ALWAYS got me the best ones...  Valentine's surprises that is...

I miss those days...  It seems as you get older the tooth fairy stops coming, Santa quites bringing you gifts under the tree, and well, birthdays aren't as much fun either!  As we grow older, I don't think we EVER really grow out of still wanting all of those things, it's just that we are too busy to make them happen!

In light, it's always nice to feel loved and appreciated!  Valentine's is the PERFECT time for just that!  So here are our Valentine's Cards for all of you...  Made with love!  We hope they bring smiles and good memories to all of your faces!!!  Please feel free to send them to all of your friends or those special someones in your lives!  WE LOVE ALL OF YOU SOOO MUCH and hope all of you have a safe and wonderful day, thinking of those you LOVE THE MOST-EST!!! ;)

XOXXO,
Rachelle

It's the END of January! Which means a New Year, New Goals, New Things, and a New Beginning!

     So most of you know we have been working VERY hard gearing up for the MOST AMAZING year we have EVER had!  And I know, when I tell you, "No! I didn't have ANY time to catch up on my sleep from the holidays!" that many of you believe me...  Well, because you know me!  haha ;)

     I'm a self-admitted work-aholic; I think it stems from the perfectionist in me...  Which can be my worst enemy and best friend at the same time!  Go figure.  Although, I'm trying to change that part this year to spend more time with my AMAZING husband!

     We work very hard making sure every one of you love your portraits and yourself; so I think it's only reasonable that I invest the same amount of time and even MORE effort into my own personal life that I'm sooo blessed to be a part of every day!  I thank God for all He's given us and am praying He helps us set healthy boundaries in the New Year and love on everyone we meet unconditionally! :)

     Already this month, we have spent some of the longest hours getting everything ready to knock all of your socks off this year!...  But I've seen glimpses of improvement in my boundaries already. ;)  Trust me when I say, God willing, we will have our best year yet!  ...Stick around, you'll see, be amazed, and God will be given all of the glory!!! :)

XOXXO

Rachelle :)

Carmen: Senior 2012 Model

So what do you do when you literally have too many pictures that you just absolutely love?...  Well, you want to post them all!  This gorgeous model below was totally up for the challenge when I gave her some crazy fun ideas for her session.  She LOVED the idea of being unique and totally let me act as if I was in kindergarten art class discovering colors, textures, shapes, and mediums all over again (Okay, so I know you don't learn all of that in kindergarten, but you get the point.), and well has some beautiful images to show for it!  Thank you so much girl for allowing me to be 110% creative with your session from start to finish!  I CAN'T WAIT for you to see all of them...  You are going to die!...  Not literally... haha, but I think you are going to LOVE them to say the least!...  This is just a glimpse into all of the fun we had!

Families!

      

It's crazy around here!  It definitely feels like Christmas!  Christmas cards are coming in and going right back out the door to be sent in the mail to family and friends.  Portraits are coming in daily and being packaged to go right back out to be wrapped to go under Christmas trees.  And one of my favorite things, wall art, wall portraits and wall art collections, are arriving and being prepped to go right back out too, to fill all of the empty walls this holiday season with precious memories of many of our families!  As  you can probably already tell, WE LOVE CHRISTMAS around here, family, and well, portraits! ;) 

     This gorgeous family above we photographed of one of our gorgeous senior models and had a great time.  Not only did we capture some beautiful shades of green, but some amazing smiles too!  We have LOVED getting to know all of you and can't wait for your wall portrait and gift portraits to arrive!...  THEY'RE GOING TO BE AMAZING! :)
