Hello beautiful friends! Thanks for stopping by and viewing my recent work and sessions. You will get the chance to see glimpses of moments captured in people’s lives. I will occasionally post photos of my growing family and some of my personal projects and work as well. I hope you return to my blog often and I do love hearing from you so please feel free to comment on posts if you have the time. I appreciate all the love and support from my friends and family and those of you I haven’t met.
NOTE: I am currently booking a limited number of weddings and portrait sessions in 2012. I look forward to hearing from you!
Love, Rachel J

I am very thrilled to finally post these images of a gorgeous and lovely family. Jenn (the mom) was my doula for both my births and it was an honour to capture her family at this stage in their children’s lives this past fall. I love the autumn and warm colours that Edmonton blesses us with each year and I hope you feel the warmth come through during this cold January month.
I enjoyed meeting Jenn’s kids and her husband and I wish you a wonderful 2012.
Love,
Rachel

Our good friends Ang and Raymond were married this past August long weekend and I’m pleased to finally post some of my favorites from their wedding day. Because our family were guests at the wedding I am only posting their portraits. If you like dogs and good coffee this is the post for you. :)
Congratulations my friends and we wish you all the best in your lives together!
Love,
Rachel

You’ve seen the Harris family before and their kids at various ages. Bob and Brandy and their kids are our good friends and neighbors and we thoroughly have enjoyed seeing their family grow and change this past year. Thanks for being awesome neighbors and friends.
Lots of love from us Johnson’s,
Rachel

A fabulous day. A fabulous family. A fabulous couple. That sums it up. It was a great day full of tears, smiles, love and joy. Congratulations Karalee and Josh on your marriage. It was an honour to capture your day.
Much love to you always,
Rachel


Extra special to have family from out of town applying makeup and helping in the getting ready process.

Such awesome shoes and I just love the vibrant blue!



This is one of my favorite images from the day below…

I received an email from another photographer in Calgary about photographing a family in need of portraits of their two year old son. Curtis recently turned two and has been at the Stollery Children’s Hospital for some time and is headed back to Calgary again to wait for a heart. He needs a heart transplant and has had surgery after surgery since birth. I do sessions throughout each year on a complementary/volunteer basis and this was one of those special sessions for me. Curtis’ mom Amber and I were in contact with each other numerous times about setting up their short session date when he would be well enough to sit for a few minutes in between his surgeries. He is a blessed little boy and so precious. If you would like the opportunity to help donate he has a trust fund set up. BMO bank account 8983 991 (transit number 05259) under the name Rick Elemans/Curtis Trust Fund.
Photographing Curtis brought back a flood of memories of my time photographing over a couple of years as a Medical Photographer at the U of A, Royal Alex and Glenrose Hospitals. It was a pleasure and an honour and an emotional experience for me.
Much love to you Curtis and your wonderful family.

Congratulations to the Montemurro family on the birth of their daughter Annabelle! She was an absolute delight to photograph. I hope you enjoy my favorites from our session. Baby A is eight days old in these images.
It was wonderful to hang out with you my friend and I hope you enjoy all the cuddles while she is still so little.
Love to you Shelley and your family,
Rachel
