RACHAEL EARL » PHOTOGRAPHY: Lifestyle Portraiture and Wedding Photography

Sorry for the lack of photos from the last post, but I am sure you found plenty of eye candy to check out on those other blogs! So what have I been up to lately? Besides taking care of my cute little newborn (and her 2 other equally as cute siblings), this month has been about getting back into photography!

Here are a few quick ones from recent sessions (youngest to oldest!):

Remember that there are a few more days in August if you would like to get your mini session in while the rates (and temperatures) are hot!

When I’m not photographing, I also work designing for Spilled Milk Designs. If you are a photographer in need of a website, check them out! I also have been working on a new site for myself, which I am putting a deadline on myself of October 1st for releasing!!! (We’ll see if that deadline sticks…but I am excited to show you what I am working on!)

Hopefully by now if you’re a blog reader, you use Google Reader to put all of your blogs into one neat little place to check daily or weekly. It’s pretty much the best thing ever if you like to check up on what people are doing. So today since I haven’t had a chance to blog some of my recent sessions (my apologies), I have decided to throw out a few of my favorite blogs-the ones that I get giddy about seeing a (1) next to in my reader

1. Simplicity Photography: What I like the most about Angie’s work is the processing-the beautiful bright colors and fantastic contrast! I have always loved strong colors and deep blacks in my own work, too (sorry, vintage trend…)

2. Laffler Photography: A fairly recent addition to my blog lineup, but Todd’s images are not only beautifully processing, but hilariously entertaining (which I love!) and always new and fresh. I would love to be at a reception for one of his couples because MAN do they look FUN!

3. Ohana Photographers: If you aren’t reading David and Kim’s blog (which I find hard to believe), then you pretty much should be. Always creative and always funny, adding their blog will for sure be seriously entertaining for you (not to mention they are MUCH better at updating than I am…)

There are SO many others that I would like to add, but alas, the baby is awake! Enjoy these 3 for now!!!

I shot a super fun 10th Anniversary session over the weekend for my best friend and her husband (Okay, Ed, you can be my best friend, too). It started in the cornfield where I was making way too many baseball references…

Here’s to many many more decades!

It’s hot. Like, REALLY hot. So what better time to do a short, fun, casual session?
