Self-ish

Thank you Cindy Sherman.

So, when you don't have anyone to photograph....the remedy is to put on a blonde wig and pretend you're someone else!

A long week

It was a long week for me. My uncle passed away and so I've been busy with all my family in town.

There was some happiness to be found though. I photographed my long time friend Briget and her fiance Brandon's engagement photos!


The photos were taken at night, so I had to do a bit of tweaking in the post-edit, but I still think they turned out beautifully!

Pin-Ups and Alter Egos

So, I'm in love with pin-up, rockabilly people. 

My favorite would have to be my adorable friend Danielle, who is also an amazing dancer.

Below are pictures that I took years ago with Danielle, but it's still one of my favorite shoots I've ever done. 

These are a few pictures from Viva, a really cool rockabilly car show that Las Vegas has every year. My two friends Vern and Tina were perfect! 

Me!

The 1/2 Marathon

Today I, my cousin Selina, her boyfriend Justin and our friend Justin Miller all completed the Las Vegas 1/2 Marathon! It was my first 1/2 marathon, so that's why I'm acting like a crazy in my post-race pic.
After taming the beast that was the 1/2 marathon, we were amazed:

Justin and Selina

Tomorrow when my body doesn't want to kill itself I'll post more of my photos!

For Starters

Hi! I'm Rachel.

I'm a budding photographer living in Las Vegas.

Someday I hope to be shooting for Vogue, but until then, I'm pretty happy to do anything:

Weddings

Family Portraits

Or just plain, beautiful fun!

I'll try and wrap my brain around this blogging thing and hopefully there will be more tomorrow

:)
