I met Rachel last year through my friend Val. Rachel lives in my neighborhood, but we had never run into one another. We ended up at a Girls Night Out together & bonded over queso & margaritas! :) Rachel is just awesomely awesome. Her smile is contagious, and well, she's freaking HILARIOUS!! She's always there for you, ready to lend a hand, ready to bring over a bottle of Moscato... just a great friend. I'm so thankful for our friendship!
Rachel's family is pretty awesome, too! Miss Grace is in 2nd grade, and is such a doll! She was cracking me up on the day of this shoot. I arrived at their house, and while Rachel was still getting ready, Grace & I had many in-depth conversations regarding Disney, clothes and her Guinea Pig, "Bugsy" (who I got to hold & is totally adorable, by the way!). As I've said before... this is what I love about my job! And then there's Tom. While we didn't have as many conversations as Grace & I did... it was really fun getting to know him better! All in all, the Ambler's are just awesome.
I got to meet the rest of the family members... Penny & Sheldon (cats), and Lucy (dog). Lucy is such a lover!! While trying to get a family picture with Lucy, she would sit any way BUT facing the camera! And between shots, she came to give me a kiss... right on the lips! This didn't phase me, however. I love dogs!
We ended up getting some great shots! Rachel & Tom's house was beautifully decorated for Christmas, so we bounced between two trees.
While trying to utilize the chalkboard prop, Tom grabbed it, held it in front of Grace's face & I believe Rachel said something like, "Seriously, Tom?" -- and I snapped the picture. Honestly, and as someone said as a comment on Facebook, this has Christmas Card written ALL OVER IT! Hilarious!
It's always fun to photograph friends, and I'm very blessed to have a group of women (and men!) who trust in me to capture their memories. :)
Enjoy!
