This girl is a total dream to have in front of a lens! Almost every time I see her at school she is rocking a brand new hairstyle and I say to her, "Gosh, dang it! I wish we could do a photoshoot right now!" On this particular afternoon, there was a lot of giggling as we experimented with poses, one-handed reflector skills and Rachel's attempt at graceful ballet leaps. Trust me, it was all sorts of brilliant.

RACHEL MARIE | PORTRAITS
After this shoot a few weeks ago, I decided to call her our resident Chanel Iman. Rach (now officially of Wanders and Wardobes) and I brought the second half our photo adventure to Shasta Dam with a quick outfit change - I love how easily she switched up her entire look around a basic white tee and leather leggings. Genius. The chill and breeze must have heard we were headed to the dam and followed us there because it was dang chilly, though of course the pro that Rachel is, you'd have no clue from these photos.
On the topic of freezing cold weather, I'm back from an incredible, life-changing trip to Germany - photos and stories to come. It was my first time in Europe which means it literally was a dream come true - I have been wanting to step foot on that continent for as long as I can remember and oh, how it did not disappoint!
