Rachel Thackeray Photography

Hello!
You may have noticed that I haven't posted in a long while. Life these last couple of years has been very busy, so my photography has had to wait on the back burner. My personal health and my family always come first for me, so after giving these and our family business the time they need, I have very little left to give to other things, like photography clients, which breaks my heart but is true. I'm learning how to set priorities and boundaries for myself, but it's hard to say goodbye to certain things. And so, I need to let you all know that I'm not currently taking on new clients. Maybe in the next couple of years things will slow down, and I can pick it back up, but only time will tell.

If you are an old client, feel free to still reach out and see if I have time for a session for you. There will be times of the year when that is not possible, but I still love photography and will do my best to work something out for old clients and friends ❤️❤️

So this is a see you later (hopefully!), not goodbye :)

I have had the privilege to take newborn photos of every one of these kids. My wonderful sister-in-law has so graciously let me practice and hone my skills on each of her children. This handsome guy is about a month old, and his family was brave enough to travel halfway across the country for a family reunion, so we squeezed in a photo session while they were here!

We used one of my fur rugs, a couple of my baskets, and my mother-in-law's white bed spread as our backdrop, and we got some great pictures! This is the kind of work you can expect from one of my newborn lifestyle sessions. I don't mind bringing in wraps and simple props to make those faux-studio shots come to life :).
