Happy New Year!

2008-01-01T16:49:00.000-08:00

No I haven't really been MIA, but I havent been good at keeping up the blog. So please accept this as my formal appology.
I have shoots that I still need to share with you. I will get busy with posting those soon.
But for right now, a simple hello and Happy New Year will have to do.

I will be working on a few different things business wise for 08. Somethings that I am very excited about.

Also, I know this is slightly early but just getting the word out now. If you know a 09 graduate, Please have them contact me. I will be shooting my senior reps early this year. I have a few spots available... and yes they recieve a discount.

i think this is the last one

2007-11-26T18:29:00.001-08:00

i love the face that Sumner was giving... it was so classic gerber baby.

a posed one... of sorts

2007-11-26T17:38:00.001-08:00

I love to torture Meghan

2007-11-26T16:24:00.001-08:00

Meghan is the mom to the twins that I shoot every three months.

Here are two of my fav's from their shoot. It is essentially the same picture just a different angle of it.

I love how caring and loving a photo like this is. It isn't staged or posed. Meghan was holding his had while he stood.

Let the festivities begin

2007-11-22T21:01:00.000-08:00

Are you as excited as this little guy that Christmas season has officially started?

Happy Thanksgiving - Giving Back

2007-11-22T18:38:00.000-08:00

Hope you all are enjoying a wonderful holiday. I have so much to be thankful for! I have had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful people this year, I have a wonderful family, 3 great kids who are healthy, what more can you ask for.

I am working on a plan on giving back for next year. I will be donating a entire afternoon to shoot families who have had children who have been affected by cancer. Each family will receive a free session and a 8x10. Want to help to give back? If you would like to help and do not fall under the previous category, I will also be shooting sessions (select dates available) and 50% of the profit of print sales will be donated to the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

If you would like more information, schedule a session, or know of a family that has been affected and would like a session please contact me Rachel@finelinesphotography.com

They deserve a second post

2007-11-21T20:25:00.001-08:00

I couldn't narrow down the selection for their session post. Here are a few more of my favorites

Zak & Erin

2007-11-21T19:55:00.000-08:00

A chilly October morning I met Zak and Erin and their parents for a shoot at the beautiful Jeffrey Mansion in Bexley. They were ready to go after the long ride to Columbus for their shoot. I was able to keep up and capture some wonderful moments. I really enjoyed working with them and look forward to shooting them again in the spring.

Cara & Derrick

2007-11-12T17:02:00.001-08:00

We had some beautiful weather in October. Another sunny afternoon perfect for shooting. Cara, Derrick and I spent a little time walking around Creekside Park in Gahanna to shoot their engagement session. You will see them make a return appearance to my blog next summer when I shoot their wedding.

Franny & Chuck

2007-11-12T16:09:00.000-08:00

I was honored to share a sunny afternoon with Chuck and Franny as they renewed their vow's for their 10 year Anniversary. What a wonderful couple they are.
If you are in need of a DJ, you should give Chuck a ring a ding. I had the opportunity to work with him in September at a wedding he was working as well.

Houston..... we have a problem

2007-10-23T16:43:00.000-07:00

Ugh, so I thought the issue was solved but I guess not. When you place an order from your session gallery, it will generate an automatic confirmation of the order to your email as well as mine. Unfortunately if you have an AOL email address, I am not getting my end of that email.
When you submit the order you should not only get the automatically generated email, but also one with payment instructions from me. I do apologise for this inconvenience, and I am working to get this corrected. So please bare with me.

Thank you all so very much!

Hunter's session

2007-10-14T07:21:00.000-07:00

Helene & Michael - the wedding post

2007-09-16T17:35:00.000-07:00

I met with Michael and Helene in July when i did their 2 engagement sessions. Their wedding was very reflective of the things they love, complete with the most unique get away I have ever witnessed. Here are a few images from their wedding.

little man!

2007-09-16T15:47:00.001-07:00

I had the best time with little man and his mommy and daddy at creekside park. We roamed and played and let him have a good time. I gotta say this is how shoots are supposed to go. There are so many great images it is gonna be next to impossible to pick which to post here for you.

... Mom/Dad i hope you guys had a great anniversary. You were great to work with, thanks for letting me spend the time capturing your family.

Alyssa - the second shoot

2007-09-14T19:55:00.001-07:00

Our first session was cut short by some unfavorable weather. Here are a couple of photo's from the second session

yep, i am behind

2007-09-04T21:30:00.001-07:00

Alyssa

2007-08-27T19:46:00.000-07:00

We were about 20 minutes into Alyssa's senior portraits, when the rain started. Fortunately, we got a few shots in, and rescheduled the rest. I am excited that she is one of my senior reps. I am still booking the class of 2008. Please call to schedule your session at your favorite location.

Big Shoot

2007-08-26T19:11:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of taking photos of Lil Conner and his twin cousins at Goodale Park, last Sunday.

Sophie

2007-08-26T18:11:00.000-07:00

I was excited to see Sophie again, and to learn that she is expecting a new little sister this winter. Here are a few of my favorite images. Thank goodness my system is back up and running.

I cant wait to update the blog with some photos

2007-08-19T18:10:00.000-07:00

Today I had 3 kid sessions and had a partial senior session because of the rain. I think I got some great shots that I cant wait to share with you once I get my computer back. I am chomping at the bit waiting for Dell to tell me its on its way.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Unable to edit

2007-08-16T15:26:00.000-07:00

Hello all!
My laptop is down. I am unable to edit for the next 8 days, or atleast that is how long Dell says. DONT WORRY! I have my hard drive and everything on it is also backed up on disc as well. Those who are waiting for your gallery to load, I appologise for this unforseen delay and will have the images loaded as soon as possible.

Thank You!

-Rachel

2007-08-04T22:11:00.000-07:00

Michael & Helene

2007-07-30T20:49:00.000-07:00

I got to spend the afternoon of the 21st with them at the Park of Roses for their first engagement shoot. Yes, I said first cause there is a second. It was a totally cool location that I cant wait to share with you. I have been backlogged in editing weddings and fulfilling orders so I am catching up on my blog postings. Stayed tuned to catch the images from the second shoot, as well as more from the first shoot.

2007-07-10T18:56:00.000-07:00

More to share..

Tonight I am getting caught up on editing. Found this photo from Courtney and Louis that I wanted to share. The love between them is strong. You can tell it the minute you see them interact. I loved working with them. I can not wait for the opportunity to work with them again.

Jenn & Shawn

2007-06-26T21:45:00.001-07:00

Kathy & James

2007-05-10T20:34:00.000-07:00

Here are a few photo's from my 4/28 wedding.

long time, no chat

2007-05-08T19:09:00.000-07:00

I can't believe its been so long since I have posted something in my blog. I have been super busy lately at the 9-5. Reality is that it is more than 9-5 right now.
Anyways.... Did you notice the new site? (finelinesphotography.com) Do you like it?? Do you not??
I was so excited when it went live. That was some of what else was taking up my time. Its worth it though. The calendar section isn't updated all that well. I do need to add a few more scheduled events in there.
I guess that is all I really have to say... I gotta pick which photos to share with you from the wedding in April, so until my next entry.... Enjoy this beautiful weather.

More Sumner & Jackson

2007-04-03T15:18:00.000-07:00

Sumner & Jackson

2007-04-03T15:02:00.000-07:00

I got to visit these precious lil tots this afternoon. Such sweet lil men and so tiny. Jackson was wide awake and Sumner was a sleepy head, which i am told is opposite than the norm.

More CaiLeigh

2007-03-26T19:06:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more from CaiLeigh's senior portraits. Don't you just love how her name is spelled.

CaiLeigh

2007-03-25T13:49:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we did CaiLeigh's senior photos at the Wagnalls Memorial Library in Lithopolis. She has an awesome attitude. She was totally comfortable with the camera and a pleasure to work with.

More Rick & Michelle

2007-03-20T07:21:00.000-07:00

Michelle & Rick

2007-03-17T20:13:00.000-07:00

It was nice to be back behind the lens again. I haven't had a wedding since October. Here are a few images from Michelle & Rick's wedding today.

gift certificates are here!

2007-03-10T10:45:00.000-08:00

Erin at www.dfmidesigns.com is the bomb! I got my custom gift certificates the other day! I am as excited about them now as I was when I got them. Please when you look into invitations check her out. These gift certificates are available in any denomination or session.

Maddox's big boy hair cut

2007-02-24T12:40:00.000-08:00

I have always been a fan of the feathered hair on little boys, but it was time for Maddox to go get a big boy cut. He did so well. Sure does make his mama proud. Isn't he just the cutest.

Free Shoot Contest

2007-02-18T18:43:00.000-08:00

It will be held in a local park or downtown, point is I will be choosing the location. I have a dress that can be worn if you are a street clothes size 6 ish, if not you will need to provide your own wedding gown. The shoot will take place sometime this spring. You will recieve a disc of the images captured, no strings attached.

Beautiful Snow

2007-02-17T08:37:00.000-08:00

I am loving the snow. It reminds me of when I was a little girl. When you step on it and your leg sinks about half calf deep in the snow. If only there were snow days for adults... I long for a good snowball fight and cup of hot chocolate.

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

2007-02-08T20:30:00.000-08:00

I was directed to a website, not long ago. It was possibly the saddest one I had ever seen. Yet I was drawn to it. Something said to me that I should do this. So after much consideration, I applied. I am pleased to say that I have been accepted as a photographer for the Columbus area. NowILayMeDownToSleep.org . Is a free service to those who are suffering from the devastating loss or emanate loss of a baby or "infant bereavement photography". I pray that those who read my blog never experience the need for such a service, but it exist for those who do need it.

Busy Season

2007-01-30T18:53:00.000-08:00

Though this is not technically busy season, as I am not shooting much. This is busy booking season. I am getting many inquiries for available dates. I do not have any availability for June. I would like to take this opportunity to say Thank You, to those that I have met, for those who have booked, and I look forward to meeting the many more that I have spoke to by phone and email.

Vendor you should know about

2007-01-19T20:01:00.000-08:00

Erin, of http://www.dfmidesigns.com. She does custom stationary. Right now she is working on gift certificates for me. I can't wait to reveal them to you. If you are looking for invitations for any event, I suggest you shoot her an email. And If you are looking for a gift, shoot me an email to purchase a gift certificate.

Firefox browser users

2007-01-04T12:01:00.000-08:00

I just realized that when you pull up my website, everything is off center. I have no explanation for this and hope to have the situation resolved soon.

Merry Christmas!!!!!

2006-12-24T16:46:00.000-08:00

Can you believe Santa is only hours away from making his rounds. Hopefully you have been good girls and boys.
I wish you the very merriest of Christmas. May your tree, stomachs, and most importantly, your hearts be full.

Miller Boys

2006-12-11T20:03:00.001-08:00

This is my last session til after the new year. Will and Drew were a pleasure to work with.

Maddison, Sammy, and Casey

2006-12-03T18:45:00.000-08:00

Madison is 12 now, but I still see her as a 7 yr old playing with sidewalk chalk. Sammy and Casey are as cute as cute can possibly get, with amazing blonde hair.

Miss Miranda

2006-12-03T17:41:00.000-08:00

Such a precious baby. Little Miranda is such a tiny little gal at 8 weeks. I think she was about the size of my kids when they were born. She was only patient for a little while, she had a bit of a tummy ache.

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-11-29T14:36:00.000-08:00

The toy ride was a HUGE success. Thanks to the 176 bikes that turned out to help make the holidays of the homeless children of central Ohio a little brighter. For pictures of the event click here. http://www.adfarrow.com/new/hog_gallery.html We were truly blessed with phenominal weather for the ride.

We are still accepting donations of new toys, hats and gloves at A.D. Farrow Harley-Davidson

491 W. Broad Street, Columbus. Please drop them off by the 20th of December.

Mullins Children

2006-11-26T18:41:00.000-08:00

I had the pleasure of working with little Hailey and C.J. at a wedding this past July. This time they brought their cousins too. I am so thankful for this beautiful weather, but the sun is intense.

Courtney

2006-11-25T07:12:00.000-08:00

Her parents are into more traditional formal photos. She is such a sweet little gal and quite the dancer. Her father brags about her often.

Happy Turkey Day!

2006-11-22T13:06:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I know I am a day early, but I won't be posting tomorrow. I hope everyone has a happy & SAFE Thanksgiving. And I hope you eat more than your fair share.
It looks like I will get to sleep in on Friday since the Black Friday sales suck this year (in my opinion). The only thing in the ads I have any interest in isn't on an early bird sale.

Matt again

2006-11-21T07:59:00.000-08:00

Here are a few more pictures from Matt's senior session.

Matt

2006-11-18T19:56:00.000-08:00

I was fearing that the weather we have had lately would continue and we wouldn't be able to shoot today. It was actually fairly nice and the sun made a bit of an appearance. We had to push the shoot so late because Matt shaved his head for a school function, so we were trying to give it time to grow back.

Ride for a good cause

2006-11-16T05:52:00.000-08:00

A.D. Farrow Harley Davidson has again addopted the homeless shelter kids for christmas. There will be a toy ride, November 26 at 9:00 am, the ride will leave Farrow's at 491 W. Broad Street downtown, and be escorted by the Highway Patrol Bikes, to the new Northstar dealership being built off Rt 36/37 in Deleware were there will be donuts and coffee. Toys should be of atleast $10 value or you can pay the $10 bike fee. We are also collecting mittens and hats. Hope to see you there. Don't ride? We are also accepting the donations at A.D. Farrow 491 W. Broad Street in Columbus. For more information email darrisblackford@adfarrow.com

My Kati

2006-11-14T14:42:00.000-08:00

Last night the mood struck me to take a few shots of the kids. Nathan wasn't here so I just got a couple of Kati & Maddox. Kati was some what cooperative but just really wanted to ham it up and Maddox after 5 seconds was done.

Natalie & Todd again

2006-11-13T17:45:00.000-08:00

I was looking back over the pictures while editing and discovered a few more that I would share with you.

A few more Sophie

2006-11-11T16:58:00.000-08:00

This gal is to precious not to get a second post. Thanks again Jenn for the referral.

Miss Sophie (and mom & dad)

2006-11-11T16:07:00.000-08:00

Todays session was some holiday and family photos with the beautiful Miss Sophie. She is at the crawling stage so sitting still for her pictures isn't as fun as taking off and getting into stuff.

So I have to fly

2006-11-07T17:17:00.000-08:00

Like I said before, I am shooting a wedding next September in NYC. I was hoping Kirk would be willing to drive, no such luck. So up in the air I will go. Here is the other part of the delima. Where am I gonna stay? I have looked on http://expedia.com for flight and hotels. I have found some really cool places and some that I am just amazed with. Would have loved to stay at the Waldorf Astoria but thats 2400$ for the janitors closent ( kidding....kind of) for 2 nights and air fair, so thats out of the question. I have been told to stay at the Millineum. So if anyone has any recomendations on where or where not to stay I am all ears. You can email me or just leave the info in the comments section.

Natalie & Todd

2006-11-05T18:28:00.000-08:00

One word to describe this couple.....FUN. I had a great time with these two, and amidst all the chit chat discovered that they know my husband. Not that that adds to any of the pressure.

P.S. Todd you should have parked down by me, as I was leaving there was buck (6 maybe 8 points). Would have surely topped the other picture.

Toughest customer

2006-11-05T17:42:00.001-08:00

Connor hates pictures, I mean hates pictures. We ( parents and I ) begged, pleaded, bribed and everything else you can do. He was not havin it. There is a reason they call it the terrible 2's. He really is a sweet kid, don't get me wrong. He was just not gonna do the picture thing. Here are a few that I did get.

Jenna

2006-11-05T17:30:00.000-08:00

It certainly hasn't been the warmest weather lately, but the shoots must go on. It wasn't to terribly bad yesterday, at least not for me I wasn't the one sitting on the cold stone.

Ahhh its November, 21 days till Black Friday

2006-11-02T13:11:00.000-08:00

October is gone, what a wonder fall is in Ohio. We started October off in shorts and tank tops and end it with coats and mittens. Which means only one thing, Christmas is almost here ( YAY!) . I did my annual log into oldnavy.com to clean house on their "bargains" section. If you have kids definitely worth logging into right now. Plus I have already been looking on line for "Black Friday" adds. Yes, I am one of those crazy people who gets ridiculously early to stand in line with the other ya-hoos hoping to lay my hands on the "one thing I have to have". I do not go out with a entourage of help though. I stick to myself, I get in, I get the loot, I get out.

Business note: If you are wishing to schedule a family/ children's session, now would be the time to call I have just a couple left before the holidays.

Maddox

2006-10-29T06:48:00.000-08:00

My little man turned 2. He is such a happy child, never the dull moment with Maddox around.

Previous Brides ( & Grooms)

2006-10-25T15:27:00.000-07:00

If you have not placed your order and you want the photos by Christmas, You must place the order by Thanksgiving. After that I cannot gaurantee getting them to you in time.

Belly Shots

2006-10-24T17:33:00.000-07:00

This is my first maternity shoot. I was twice as nervous about this shoot than I was my first wedding. I will not post any photos that include the face of this mother to be until I have permision. So until then here are a few that I will post.

and more Courtney & Louis

2006-10-24T14:49:00.000-07:00

a few more Lisa & Darren

2006-10-24T14:37:00.000-07:00

Courtney & Louis

2006-10-24T06:13:00.000-07:00

I am not sure they have completely thawed out yet. Talk about being troopers. I think it was 40 degrees outside, but it didn't seem to bother them, maybe because they were cudling.

Lisa & Darren

2006-10-23T19:18:00.000-07:00

This was my first wedding at the awe- inspiring St. Josephs Cathedral. If you have ever been there, I do not have to tell you how beautiful this location is. The reception was held at the Embassy Suites off of Cleveland Ave. The food was mmm-mmm good. The entertainment for the evening topped all though. This was my first wedding with a live band, and the street players did not dissapoint. They really know how to get the crowd up. They even let Lisa's dad step in with them on guitar. I almost feel bad for the bride whom had the other banquet room, her guest were standing in the door way to the room we were in enjoying the band.

NYC.....Here I come

2006-10-20T07:57:00.000-07:00

I was just asked to shoot a wedding next September in New York City. How cool is that? Wonder what the drive time will be? I have never been and this girl doesn't fly.

Giving a gift?

2006-10-17T18:00:00.000-07:00

Another shoot at the magnificent Jeffrey Mansion in Bexley. Here are a few of my early favorites from todays shoot. Although the inside of the mansion is closed on the weekends to the public, a kind worker for the city of Bexley let us take a quick few inside.

Jenn & Shaun

The sign said no dogs, but we brought Bugsy out anyways. We did their engagement session at the Jeffrey Mansion in Bexley. What a gorgeous location. Shaun isn't really into getting pictures taken, but I think they turned out pretty good. I can't wait to shoot their wedding next June. Hopefully they feel the same.

Grant & Sarah

2006-10-08T19:32:00.000-07:00

Rarely do I ever work mostly with the groom, but working with Grant was a pleasure. Sarah is studying to be a vet so her time is limited. Grants no slouch though, you may see him if you ever have to visit the E.R.

a friendly reminder...watch out on the roadways

2006-10-08T11:58:00.000-07:00

Although the weather is starting to cool, it is still warm enough ride a motorcycle. For the 3rd time this riding season, I know someone who has gotten hit by a car ( in each case it has been the car drivers fault). Please watch out, these are our fathers, husbands, brothers ( & sisters), our neighbors. Thankfully the guy involved on todays accident is ok, but it could have been so much worse.

To hear her mom tell it Nina sticks her finger in her nose all day. She isn't picking just likes to hold it there. Here are a few pictures that will be in a collage frame.

I took my kids out today to get a few photos. I was looking to get a picture that I am having made to a 11x14 to go in my bedroom. Here is what I came up with, because they did not want to listen to me at all! It is easier to take pictures of other peoples children than it is your own. Then they were doing so well and a HUGE ride-on mower came near us and that was the end of that, I think you can tell which picture that was

Happy Birthday to me,

2006-10-02T16:02:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to me......I bet you are really glad you can't hear me actually singing this. I am not good at singing. I celebrated my 28th today. Kirk got me a palm pilot, I have never had one before so I am excited about my new toy : )

John & Elsa

2006-09-25T18:36:00.000-07:00

I love the beautiful simplicity of this couple. The photos I selected are a few of my favorites. The one of him standing in front of her was just a moment I caught them sharing.

The reception was held at the Everal Barn in Westerville. What a beautiful location this is, even when it is rainy.

Oh, on a side note, they had carmel apples for favors. And they let me have one :) They were so good!

I think she likes the camera

Remember the good ol' days? I wish I were in high school again. Here are a few photos from Brittany's Senior pictures. She is so natural in front of the camera.

Marking 5 years

2006-09-12T19:06:00.000-07:00

Yesterday marked an anniversary that is not one you want to celebrate. Today I mark the 5 year anniversary of meeting my husband, and the 4 year anniversary of the first time he said the 3 little words that change everything. Our meeting was caused by the 11ths tragic events. It is amazing how life changes in 5 years.
I Love You Kirk!

Jumping for Joy

2006-09-10T19:44:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that my boy is 7. Wow! He had a party today, followed by his pictures and a visit to Build-A-Bear ( he loves the dogs there, todays dog was a Army Sgt.). Then to wrap up the festivities we went to Red Robin for dinner.... not what I would have chosen for a b-day dinner, but it was his choice.
