Rachunok Family Portrait
Here's just one from our shoot.
Just for fun we took a more serious old style portrait and we love how it turned out. It was Jeremy's idea and with my processing touch.

We'll have another blog with the rest of their session soon!

Christmas Card Designs.....
So since we got rained out of our shoots last weekend, I needed to post something! Here are some of the Christmas Cards I designed. One thing I'm trying to do this year is not be so much of a perfectionist. I wanted to post these at Christmas but I ran out of time, so normally I wouldn't post them at all! But I'm posting them anyways-even if it's just for the archives.
I REALLY love designing. It's a lot of fun for me. It gives me another outlet for all my creative energy.
Horizontal Post Cards, 2 sided:

1st Baby's Christmas Card.

A Thank you/Christmas Card.

Vertical 2 sided:

Photo Card:

4 sided cards, front, back, inside:
My sister's cute fam!

Christmas/New Address Card. We used pics of their new home and address.

These next two are some of my all time fave designs, probably because it was a team effort. They gave me most of the wording and so many ideas that I just brought it to life. And I LOVED how they turned out!! I still can't figure out if it was more fun for me to design or for them to give them out! They said they got tons of complements and some people even cried. Wow!
This one is a large format 5x7 card so it opens up to 14 in. Pretty neat. This reads front, back and inside.

The one is a regular 5x7 4 sided card.

Did I give enough examples or what?!

First Days in Hawaii.....
We're in Hawaii having such a great vacation! And it is so wonderful being with my family that I don't get to see nearly enough. The first night we got here I went outside with my nephews to shoot some photos. Here's what came out of that:
My sister's front yard. She lives about a block away from the beach.

My nephew Jack.

My nephew Joey.

They're really camera shy! And before we got here they were saying that they wouldn't let us take their picture!

They were really interested in taking photos so Joey shot this one of Jack and I love it!

The next morning I woke up at 5am and went on a walk with my Dad, Patte and Jill (my sister.)

The very same day, we hiked up to Makapuu Lighthouse. It was a really great scenic workout.
Fun fact: My sister tells me that this is where they shot the episodes of Lost (it's filmed on Oahu) where the others are pretending to live in the teepees.

Jeremy got this cool shot of my Dad, sister and me when we didn't even know it.

Us.

This is the lighthouse at the top of the hike.

The next morning after a rainy night, there was a beautiful rainbow.

On our 2 mile walk on the beach to the coffee shop. Jeremy's wearing his "That guy" shirt. And every time Jeremy would leave the room, my nephews would say, "hey where did that other guy go?"

Amazing day as usual.

On our way back from the coffee shop. Jill and Joey.

Stay tuned for part two of Hawaii and I'm sure I'll end up making a slideshow too!

Baby Shower BBQ!
On Sunday we went to our best family's Baby Shower. It was an extremely hot but fun day!
The invitation for their shower that came out soooo cute!
Front: His name is Levi so this is fitting. Melody's sister Amy came up with this great idea!

Inside: Little back story; Jeremy R's grandpa and dad are named Steve, which is Levi's middle name. And Grandpa Steve was a professional baseball player and these are some articles they did about him in the newspaper:

Some of the cool details.

I love watching kids eat!


Why our parties are always fun.

The most beautiful daughter and mom, Destinie and Shellie.

Chrissy, Destinie, Melody, Misheal, Amy, Shellie and Dana.

Girl fun.

Melody and Dana.

Maternity Session......
Our best family which consists of Jeremy, Melody and Owen is soon to be adding another little one, Levi. We wanted to do some pictures for their shower coming up shortly. We'll also be shooting more of them in Yosemite when we go on our annual trip next month.
As usual it was sooo hard to choose which ones. I may be forced into making yet another slideshow. It's hard because I like to view the images as a whole piece. I'll probably change my mind in five minutes but for now here they are:

Jeremy's great shot.

Birthday Extravaganza!
Yesterday was the birthday of our little friend, Mattie Mae. We shot last year's birthday and their family last November and it was fun to have yet another shoot with our friends!
This is our little photoshoot before the party.
Having fun spinning.

Lia just got her braces off and she's so cute! And it was her birthday too!

Mommy and Mattie fun.

Daddy and Mattie fun.

The pretty pretty princess.

Next, it was time for the amazing party at Girl Mania.
Check out what these girls did: they got their hair/make-up done, they got to pick out outfits to model, they made a video AND they had pizza and cake! Where was this place when I was young?!

Abi just LOVES getting her hair and make-up done!

Averi's anticipation of getting her make-up on.

A little collage of the girls modeling their adorable outfits!

The sweetest little group: Belle, Lily, Kiyah, Mattie, Savanna, Averi, and Abi.

Thanksgiving #1
I didn't take as many pictures of everyone as I wanted to (it may or may not had to do with the fact that I had some wine before dinner.) But since it was our friend's first Thanksgiving with their baby Daphne, we managed to squeeze some in at sunset!
The beautiful family.

Proud Dad.

The girls always laughing at Daddy.

Thanks for sharing your Thanksgiving with us!! We love you!
