Jaime Maternity Sneak Peek

Rachael Earl — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 20:33:07 +0000

Jaime has to be one of the cutest pregnant ladies I’ve gotten to photograph-it literally looks like she had a basketball for breakfast. She wanted an industrial look for her maternity photos, which I was all about, so we headed downtown yesterday in the August heat and we survived! Here are a few from yesterday:

He will be the only child at least for a while

She had this shirt custom made for her by Vivid Rose Clothing! Love it!

Drag queen Jackie O? Your guess is as good as ours…

Fact: Every summer, I question why I live in Arizona as I am bathing in sweat and shooting in 109 degrees. I suppose the winters make up for it though…hurry up, winter!

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Rachael Earl — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 04:57:34 +0000

It’s that time again! The best time of year because it is the time for giving. I truly love Christmas for the giving aspect, finding the perfect gift for those special people in your life. I know that this has been a particularly tough year for a lot of people out there, which is why I want to give back to you, those of you who visit my blog (even though the postings have been scarce this year!), so that you will have a gift for yourself or to give this Christmas!

Post a comment up on my blog on this post about what you are looking forward to most in the coming year and how you plan to make 2011 the best year ever, and you will be entered into a random drawing for a family session gift card to either keep for yourself, or give to someone you love! It’s that easy.

**Winner (or recipient of gift card) must live in the Phoenix area, or be visiting the area during 2011. Number will be drawn at random by the generator at Random.org on December 22, 2010 at 8:00 pm Arizona Time, so you have until then to post up your comment. Session must take place in 2011. Gift card will be mailed to you on December 23, 2010, so provide your address promptly once you have won!**

And since there are only SEVEN more days until Christmas (!) I thought I would post up an adorable family of SEVEN!

PS-I am officially BOOKED until the new year! Thank you to all of the fun, fabulous, adorable, beautiful, silly, crazy people I was able to photograph in 2010!!!

Familiar Faces

I LOVE winter. Not just for the cool temperatures and the fantastic holiday season, but for the chance I get to catch up with the wonderful families that I get to work with over the years. I truly love seeing and photographing each and every single one of them! And not dying of heat stroke while doing it

*Dear Blog, I am sorry you have been neglected, but it’s either you or my children and well…they’re waaaay cuter than you are. Sorry. Here are photos from a bunch of sessions that I hope to blog VERY soon.

Sneak Peek for Kristin! Arizona Maternity Photography

Rachael Earl — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 01:58:26 +0000

Despite it being a HOT day (especially for two prego ladies), Kristin was a trooper! I was so glad we were able to get her photos in today before her sweet little baby boy arrives. And while it is hot, I sure do love the Arizona sunshine!

I Love Technology…Always and Forever

A quick peek at baby #3 via video:

An attempted thumb-sucking:

And a yawn:

Nope, we don’t know what we’re having, but feel free to guess all you want

Lately, I’ve had a hankering to watch the Coen Brothers’ Raising Arizona, so I can’t stop talking like Ed and calling the baby “Junior.” But don’t worry, we won’t be using Nathan Junior or Ed Junior or Hi Junior!

(AND in case you were wondering, we Arizonans sadly do not have that accent) I can’t wait to meet this new little one in July!
