in-home lookout mountain session

sometimes you just know. you meet a friend and you know they will be in your life forever. they get you. they love you, flaws and all. it doesn’t hurt when they share in your love of cinnamon rolls and almond danish.  no matter how busy life gets, they always make the time. time to encourage and listen.  to show up with a fresh pot of homemade chicken noodle soup on a hard day.  and time to laugh. a lot. raising our families along side each other is a gift. 

we love you, huffmans. all seven of you! thank you for being such a great example of Christ’s love.

in-home lookout mountain family session

photographing families over time is an absolute joy. parents become friends. kids welcome me with hugs and laughs. last week this family of six invited me into their beautiful home and shared their life with me. i first photographed this family two years ago, during sweet little eleanor's first birthday celebration. adelaide and hugh are such energetic and fun older siblings. since then, they have added an adorable little addition to the bunch, edward. The cutest, squeeziest baby around. thank you, gerwin’s for sharing this stage of life with me and allowing me to document these sweet and busy moments. i hope when you look back at these photos, they allow you to re-live this stage. to remember how your babies giggled, played together and squeezed your neck so tight.

Welcome to my new site!

I'm thrilled to welcome you to the new Rachel Douglass Photography website. Watch this blog for fresh shots from my most recent sessions, as well as photography tips and ideas.

Just like in my photo work, my goal with this blog is to capture and share those moments that make life joyful. I am so thankful for all the families that have let me become a part of their lives, from big promises and life events to the simple happiness of running around the yard. All of these moments are worth commemoration, and I'm honored, humble, and grateful to help preserve these memories as couples become families.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for visiting, and come back soon!
