When you are equal parts getting ready to be the best big sister EVER and also thriving on being the center of attention for just a little bit longer. As a fellow first born child, I feel you Lily girl š Iām so excited to witness one of my favorite families grow by one very soon. I still have room to take on a few more families for maternity and newborn this spring and early summer. If you know a sweet family who is expecting, I would love the opportunity to chat with them. Hope everyone is having a nice Saturday. #rachelparsonsphotography #rachelparsonsmilestones 
Happy Valentineās Day, lovers! Regardless of how you may be celebrating, I hope you feel loved today. I have been working on some house projects in this slower winter photography season and finished up our dining room last week just in time for this beautiful arrangement that Chris ordered from @gingerroseflowers to arrive. This is definitely my favorite room in our house at the moment, and aside from the dark paint and the plant in the corner, I was able to use what we already had around the house. We may or may not have just finished watching To All the Boys: Always and Forever for the second time in the past 24hrs š now I think Iāll go whip up a little valentines brunch that we can eat in our dining room. How are you spending your love day? .

When I tell you how grateful I am for the friends God has blessed me with in this season of life ā¤ļø He always knows exactly what we need. Amid a really hard week, I had the most restorative morning creating with this beautiful friend. Audrey and I were classmates in high school who never really crossed paths, but weāve connected as adults and she is such a treasure to my heart. I canāt wait to share what we worked on. And if youāre reading this- I challenge you to think of a friend who is a blessing in your life and let them know that today. Do it now! Before you get distracted and forget. #rachelparsonsphotography #rachelparsonsmilestones 
āTake me back to the creek beds we turned up, two AM riding in your truck, and all I need is you next to me...ā š¶ā¤ļø @taylorswift Forever in love with these pickup truck photos from Emma and Austinās engagement session. #rachelparsonsphotography #rachelparsonsweddings

Perfect candid moment of Britton, admiring his new ring and all that it represents just minutes after his and Kandiceās wedding ceremony. PC: Chris Parsons. Did you know that my husband Chris shoots weddings with me? He is my second shooter, which means that he assists me and captures šø an additional perspective of all the special moments that happen throughout the wedding day. Chris is an artist by nature and has learned the art of photography as heās shot with me the past 3 years. One of my favorite parts of putting together a wedding gallery is looking through the images Chris took and deciding how I can best work them into the gallery to tell the story of the day. As the main photographer, I lead creative direction and capture all of the big moments, so itās fun to go through afterwards and find the little moments that Chris caught, like this oh so special one. More to come from this perfect day and my other wonderful 2020 weddings very soon š¤ #rachelparsonsphotography #rachelparsonsweddings 
Happiest of birthdays to one of my favorite babies whoās not so baby anymore! This little girl is going to change the world. I adore you, Weesie, and have loved getting to take your photos this year! š„° #rachelparsonsphotography #rachelparsonsmilestones 
Black and white series from Jansenās senior session š¤š¤ my greatest honor as a photographer is when I have the opportunity to document multiple seasons in a familyās life. Jansenās older sister was one of my very first senior sessions, and it was so special getting to catch up with their awesome mom and hang out for Jansenās recent session. My goal when capturing seniors is to capture their unique personalities- no forced, generic, one-size-fits all posing and fake smiles. Just some authentic moments that offer a little glimpse into who they are. I love that we got to include both of Jansenās varsity sports in his session, as well as his pup Luke. (What you canāt see in these photos is the hundred other people who were taking photos in the field that evening. Thank goodness for clever angles and photoshop...) #rachelparsonsphotography #rachelparsonsseniors 
Sharing this lil summer throwback bc did it feel like summer this afternoon or what? š„µ also- this beautiful mama is a dear friend and fellow Greys Anatomy fanatic and HAVE YāALL EVEN SEEN THIS WEEKāS PREMIER YET!? I am shook. DM me if you want to discuss! If Iāve seemed scarce on the socials itās bc this is our busiest week of 2020...photographing the last 16 š± family sessions of the year and editing all the pretty things when Iām not out shooting. But I haaad to take some time tonight to enjoy the Greys/Station 19 crossover event bc how long has it been since weāve been able to enjoy our weekly shows? Small pleasures Iāve learned not to take for granted this year. Pretty sure this was the most scattered I have ever written but ya girl is hyped up on peanut m&mās and that last scene of Greys...okay back to editing now byeee #rachelparsonsphotography #rachelparsonsmilestones 
These beautiful souls tie the knot this weekend, which means that today is full of all the pre-wedding prep. Charging and organizing equipment, grabbing some extra goodies from @aperturent , printing timeline and shot lists, packing snacks for wedding day (very important step š), drinking LOTS of water, and carb loading with a spaghetti dinner tonight (yes, the day before a wedding looks much like the day before race day). I am so grateful to have crossed paths with Sue and Dan and canāt wait to celebrate their marriage with some pretty photos!! #rachelparsonsphotography #rachelparsonsweddings
