Rachel Logan Photography

I cannot believe that this is the same beautiful baby girl is the same one I photographed as a newborn 7 months ago.  She has changed so much!  She’s even more gorgeous now.  She has a curious sparkle in her eyes and a sweet little smile.   She brings so much joy to her mom and dad!

I love, love the peacock feather headband her mom brought for her.  It is just perfect with her eyes.  I think I want one!

What a fun family session.  We even involved the family dogs.  They were the first babies and are ALMOST as spoiled as my dog…now that’s saying something.

Here’s a little sample of our time together. 

The first time we tried this session we seemed to come up with a perfect storm: H1N1, wind, cold temps, grey skies, and fever.  Maybe you could overcome one of those variables and pull off a session, but it’s hard to take on all of them.  Although, I must say, these girls were troopers that evening.  

However, we decided to meet up again and try one more time with healthy kids and nicer weather.  I am glad we did!

Here’s a little sample of some of the beautiful images of this family.  There are really so many that I love that I had a hard time narrowing it down!  

I LOVE this first shot.  I am usually all about the color, but I just love this in B&W.

…and beautiful auburn haired senior.  This week-end was absolutely perfect for a photo shoot.  Friday evening I had the pleasure of photographing the niece of a sweet friend of mine.  She will graduate in the spring and head to college in Illinois next fall.  I remember seeing pictures of her when she was VERY YOUNG on her aunty’s desk and I cannot believe she is the mature, poised, pretty young woman in the photos below.  I know her parents are proud of the lady she has become.  I was thrilled that they chose me to capture her at this big milestone in life.  She seems prepared and excited to embrace her future!  Good job, Mom and Dad (and the rest of the Burman clan…)!

I think the images with the gold backlight look like Anthropology ads.  I love how they came out.  So many great looks…these are a little sample.

Lovely light, lovely lady…hillarious dog…wonderful session.  

I haven’t done an urban session in a while, and I have really missed them.  The colors are so fun and vibrant.  There is such a variety of backdrops and textures.  Urban settings are probably one of my favorite session locations.  Today was a great day to get a little dose of urban culture.  I needed my Deep Ellum fix!

So, my subject today is the son of one of my dearest friends.  His beautiful mama and I have  been friends for several years.  I was so happy to get to photograph him.  He’s a really impressive kid.  He LOVES to cook (although he did not offer me any bacon this morning…), makes stellar grades and loves to play sports.  I cannot believe he is 12 years old already.  What a privilege to photograph him today!

Couldn’t decide what to post…so many choices and looks from this session.  So, here is urban overload.  Enjoy!

I know.  You’ll be singing it now.  You can thank me later.

But, it did seem fitting as we literally were in a field of gold wild flowers for this shoot.  Maybe they are blooming weeds.  I don’t know, but they sure do photograph well.  I LOVE the light and the yellow tones of this session.  Plus, the kids are pretty darn cute too.  I really love their brown outfits.
