Christmas Mini Sessions!

I am SO excited to announce this!  I am doing Christmas Mini Sessions in my new studio!!  This set up is designed for babies (who can sit up on their own) and kids (10 and under).  You can get individual photographs of each child as well as group pictures!  These pictures will be perfect for sending beautiful Christmas cards or giving special gifts to loved ones!  

This is a one day event on Saturday, December 1st.  There are limited spots available!  Each session will be 30 minutes and within a week, you will receive an email that has instructions of how to get to your private, online gallery which will contain all the best pictures from your session.  You will also receive a coupon that will allow you to pick 3 of those pictures to download for FREE!  You can order a wide variety of prints and products from your gallery and you can purchase additional downloads for $3 each which comes with the print release to allow you to print your pictures wherever you want or post them online.  You'll have plenty of time to order cards, prints, and other gifts to give to your friends and family for Christmas!  

A $20 deposit is required to reserve your spot and is applied towards the session fee.  If you have questions, feel free to call, text, or email me!

Ella's Senior Session

I can not believe Ella is a senior!  (That's also what I told her mother when she asked if I could do her senior pictures).  I also can't believe how grown up she is!  It was so good to catch up with her and her brother during this session.  We had a lot of fun!  I had a hard time narrowing down my favorite pictures to edit and an even harder time narrowing my favorites from those to post because I liked them all so much!  So anyways, these are the pictures I picked!

Ruby Ann

Ruby is just a little peanut that is full of surprises!  Her parents believed (due to 3 ultrasounds) that they were having a boy.  Instead, they got this precious darling, Ruby Ann.  She has such delicate features, stunning blue eyes, and is so enthralled by the world around her.  I'm pretty sure she's gonna grow up to be a force to reckon with!

Evelyn's Cake Smash

This cake smash session was actually the first session done in the new studio!  I felt a little weird starting out with something potentially so messy, but I also figured cake should always be a part of new beginnings, so in a way, it was the perfect session to celebrate the opening of the studio.  😊

I was so excited to photograph Evelyn again!  Isn't she SO adorable??!!?  She took some convincing to actually eat the cake.  At first she just wanted to play with the icing, but with some help from her mom, she was easily convinced to dig in.  She consistently traded back and forth between her hands the whole time.  She also stopped eating the cake when she noticed she had clumps of icing on her dress so that she could carefully clean herself up.  In the end, we barely had any cleaning up to do!

Please join me in wishing Evelyn a very happy birthday!!  ❤

This pretty pink cake was made by The Hopeful Epicurean!  You check her out by going to: https://www.facebook.com/thehopefulepicurean/

New Sessions, Packages, and STUDIO!

Hey my faithful followers!  I have SO much exciting news to share with you!  Actually, I meant to post a lot of this sooner, but I got too busy with sessions.  First, I have updated my website quite a lot, so I hope you check it out!  I updated the galleries where you can see samples of my work as well as purchase prints and products for yourself!  Truthfully, updating info and galleries will be a continual thing I do, so I hope you check back often.  Second, the most important updates to my website are new sessions and packages!  I took a long hard look at what I offer and found ways to simplify everything and provide packages to save you money!  To see what I offer, go to: https://www.rachelwilhelmphotography.com/new-life.  Sessions start at $125 and packages at $650.  Third and finally, the only way all of this was possible was because I have a new studio!!  Ahhh!!  All of these were ideas I have been tossing around for a while, but it didn't seem possible.  I have to give my husband tons of credit for all of this because night after night of me pouring out my fears, frustrations, and hopes to him, lead him to have the ideas of how to make these dreams of mine turn into a reality.  And this wasn't a distant reality, but something that happened so fast that I quickly became too busy to even let you all know!  So, without further ado, here are some pictures of my studio and behind the scenes of one of the new sessions I now offer!

Emmalyn Ann

Emmalyn was so tiny and precious!!  She also was quite expressive during our session.  I got to see her asleep and awake with grins and frowns.  I love being able to capture so much!  I'm also excited because I will get to photograph this darling again in just a few short months for her 3 month session!  I can't wait to see how much she will grow over the next year!!

afO's Bentley

This was a delightful play to watch because the cast was so talented!  I'd love to say more, but truth is, I'm getting behind on my blog posts, so to save time, the pictures will have to speak for themselves!  Enjoy!  😊
