Almost two years ago, she went through a major life change. It knocked her to the ground and she wasn't sure if she would get back on her feet. With the support and love of wonderful family and friends, she bounced back stronger, happier, and healthier. It was a journey but one that left her "a better person than the one she was before" and for that, she is very thankful.
Like most moms, she wasn't one for taking care of herself ahead of others. Everyone and everything came first. So the first task she assigned for herself was to take time for her. Rachel took on the motto "If Mama's not happy; nobody's happy." It certainly made a difference in her healing.
Rachel had left university after attending for a year and a half right out of high school. She always said that she would go back but along came marriage, a daughter, bills and obligations and that goal was always put on the back burner. So in the fall of 2008, she started back at UPEI part time, while working full time, to finish her business degree. It gives her a great sense of pride to be working towards this goal and she is thoroughly enjoying it.
Since this was a Everyone is Beautiful - Boudoir Shoot, I can only show you a handful of shots. I believe privacy in these sessions is of the utmost importance. As with all of my clients, especially boudoir clients, I have discussed this with Rachel and she has agreed that these photos could be posted.



Rachel's
"When I stumbled upon your website with the boudoir pictures - I had done a little modeling in my late teens and remembered how great it was for the self esteem then. As I drove to the session, I thought, "What are you doing?" but that thought disappeared as Rachel made me feel comfortable immediately.; The session was so much fun; I would do it again in a heartbeat.
As for the result?I could not be more pleased with the photos. They are tasteful and beautiful. You have such an eye for detail and are busting with talent; It can be seen in my pictures. The whole experience was what I needed to get my self confidence back. I felt great during the session and if I have a low day, I can grab my book of photos and say, "Not bad for 36, Rach. Not bad at all."
I have recommended to all my girlfriends a boudoir session with Rachel Peters. Rachel is so warm and sweet, I felt comfortable immediately and that speaks volumes considering I was dressed in lingerie! The shots were tasteful and beautiful. Rachel has a talent to not only pull the beauty out of each person but to capture the environment in the shot which adds to the beauty. The shots do not look staged - they are natural and captivating. The boudoir session is one of the best things I could have ever done for me. I feel great about the results and will have these beautiful pictures to look back on when I am old and gray. I'm thinking a family shot of the three dogs, my daughter and I will be next.... I'm thinking Rachel would find a really cool location to shoot those!"
