The adorable Cushway kids! Chesterton, IN Children and Family photography

Welcome back Cushway kids!  This is the second time I have had the privilege to photograph these wonderful little people.  

It was a very cold day in Chesterton and we were trying to beat the freezing rain that was heading our way.  We finished and within 30 minutes it was pouring.  Great timing! 

I hope you guys enjoy your "sneak peek".  I look forward to seeing you, again, soon!  









Additional photos coming soon!  www.StudioRachel.com

Newlyweds! Sarah and Dusty - Indianapolis, Indiana - Wedding

I have known Sarah since she was a little girl.   She was a great friend of Rebekah's.  She has a beautiful family and the most wonderful parents so I was very excited to learn that Rebekah and I would be photographing her wedding.  I had never met Dusty but he seems like a good man and the love between them is evident to anyone they come in contact with.  What a beautiful couple!

Meet Tom and Jocelyn!

They were referred to me by Amy Cushway at Sandcreek Country Club.  Tom and Jocelyn wanted beach pictures so we, of course, went down to Washington Park and made the most of the beautiful weather.  It was pretty windy but we didn't let that stop us.

The beautiful couple.

Soon to be wed!

My poor neglected blog. :(  It has been a long time since I have updated things but that is all about to change.  Life has been full of changes and challenges for the past 6 months but all is wonderful now.  I have been very busy working with Rebekah, www.StudioRebekah.com.  We have a wedding, or two, almost every weekend this summer.

Look for new blog posts over the next week.  Lots to come!
