OK look at this cute family. I did these pics this past fall, after we tried over and over scheduling with problems due to scheduling and weather. I was glad to finally get together with them and complete it and I hope it won't be the last shoot I do with them.

I met Jaclyn & Jeff years and years ago, and always thought that they were the cutest pair. Now look what they have gone and done...got even cuter! World Look Out! Little Sadie is now a part of the Smith family! Can she get any cuter??

Stacey & Ron are the cutest, sweetest and fun couple. We decided that we would do their session at the library. I wanted to have some different locations for them, and I am now committing myself to cover every place on the island for engagement sessions. It really makes for a much more fun session when there is new surroundings! We did manage to attract some on lookers at the library, but we just smiled and kept on shooting. I think Stacey & Ron's fans must have thought I was the paparazzi!

I will be joining Stacey & Ron to capture their wedding this upcoming April 2010 in Cuba! I love to travel, and capturing a wedding while doing that is something of a dream for me. I have 3 weddings booked over the 2 weeks I will be in Varadero, Cuba. It may surprise you at how inexpensive it may be for you to bring me along to capture your special day, with all the excitement of an old friend!

Name: Mary "Clarie" Murphy
Born: August 21, 2009
Size at Birth: 7 pounds 14 ounces


Into this world, the most beautiful sweet little darling that any mother and father could ask for. This little darling stole their hearts and mine as well. Those beautiful blue eyes were peering into this world, hoping for all the best for her and everyone around her.

Ten fingers, Ten toes
She's laughter and teardrops
So small and brand new
And amazingly angelic
She's sent to bless you
She's one special Baby
The best of life's treasure
And will grant and bless you
Many hours of great pleasure.
Take a sprinkling of fairy dust,
An angel's single feather,
Also a dash of love and care,
Then mix them both together.
Add a sentiment or two,
A thoughtful wish or line,
A touch of stardust, a sunshine ray...
It's a recipe, for a Baby Girl truly fine.

Love this couple. As soon as I met them I knew I loved them. Hmmm. Wait a minute! That is how Steven told me he felt about Jana the moment he saw her. Steven said it was love at first site. Of course, me being in love with love was so excited to hear this. I wondered if that ever happened to people. Well apparently it does! YAY!

We had this fun Empower the Dress session a few years after they have been married! Jana of course was as beautiful as I am sure she was on her wedding day!
Besides the fact that they are sweet, friendly, cute, fun, awesome..and a million other amazing characteristics! Jana & Steven were willing to do anything, even lay in the middle of the road! No wonder I fell in love! No wonder I love my job!

Now I just found out that it is Steven's birthday today!!! So you must wish him a Happy Birthday in the comments! Plus a "Comment for a Can" wouldn't hurt anyways! Happy Birthday Steven! I hope you have an amazing day with Jana and the family!

In this season of giving, I want to help those less fortunate, but I can't do it alone.  I need your help!  In addition to every comment you make, I need your help to make this a huge success.  So far the total is just over 100 cans!!! Let's keep going!!

Here's how you can help:

Pass this along information on to everyone you know
       
*Update your Twitter status to something like "Your Name" Wants all my fellow tweeters, to join @Rachel_Photo and help the food bank this year! Tis' the season! Simply comment on a photo at http://www.blogbyrachel.com/blog
       
*Update your Facebook status to Join "Rachel Peters Photography" in giving to Island Food Banks this year!  Tis' the season!  For every person that updates their status, I will donate more food; one status update = one can; many status updates = many cans! http://www.blogbyrachel.com/blog

*Challenge your co-workers - for the corporate group that gathers the most food, I will personally come to your office and take a photo of your group and pick up the non-perishable items. Make sure you let me know you are doing this so I can let everyone know how awesome you are!

In the words of Ghandi, "Be the change you want to see in the world."  One step at a time, let's do this together!

Tell...Give...Smile
