"Slow down
Won't you stay here a minute more
I know you want to walk through the door
But it's all too fast
Let's make it last a little while
I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly
I am your biggest fan
I hope you know I am
But do you think you can somehow
Slow down”

We’ve done a family session and a 1st birthday session with Rachel. Both times she made everyone feel comfortable, she handled the chaos of photographing kids amazingly, and our pictures were incredible! The atmosphere was relaxed

and we were able to have fun!
