The Hurst Family

Posted in Children, Portraits by Rachel Halsey on October 24, 2009

The Hurst children might be the most photogenic children in the world…. they also happen to be my darling cousins :]
When my aunt Hallie asked me to come to Spartanburg to do a family shoot for them – I couldn’t have been more excited seeing as how I knew in advance what kind of gorgeous shots I would get ;]
Chip, Hallie, Conrad, Harriet, Katherine, and Mary Mac: thank you so much for such a fun afternoon!
Everyone else: enjoy!

I’m pretty sure these girls will be best friends:

I love the show America’s Next Top Model. And I mean, I love it.
I am completely fascinated by the hair and the makeup and more than anything, the photography.
Lucky for me, there are ANTM marathons on almost every weekend ;]
My dear friends Veronica and Lindsey understand my love for this show.
So when I casually suggested getting dressed up and doing a photo shoot at the park -
they were fabulous sports and humored me to no end!
John even got in on the excitement.
I love fun photo shoots…. shoots with a theme…
This one was so much fun and the fact that my friends (and hubby, of course)
are SO flippin gorgeous doesn’t hurt either ;]
Enjoy!

The lovely trio:]

I think John totally has “the look” of someone who could have been around in the 30s or 40s ;]

I work with Sam. Her daughter Camilla is positively one of the most adorable little girls I have ever met in my life.
The whole family is just gorgeous (just wait til you see these pictures!).
We met this past weekend for a photo shoot downtown. Look at how beautiful this day was/child is/etc. :]

Jordan’s Maternity Shoot <3

Posted in Maternity, Portraits by Rachel Halsey on October 4, 2009

I love love love maternity shoots! I have gotten to do a few lately and have several more on my calendar and with each and every one – I just love them more :]

Will and Kennerly are one of the sweetest couples I have ever met in my life. I had SO much fun with them and enjoyed every second of it. Their little boy is due in November and I am already looking forward to seeing the amazing photogenic genes he’s going to have ;]

It was so difficult narrowing down my favorites of the day but here we go. Thank you, Will and Kennerly (and baby Jordan!). Enjoy-

Ingram Favorites:

Posted in Maternity, Portraits by Rachel Halsey on October 2, 2009

Wow – I have been so terrible with updating this! My sincere apologies to everyone =)

I have gotten back into the swing of things and have shoots filling up my calendar’s weekend days which makes me quite happy.

I’m also working on various Christmas card layouts and designs so if Christmas cards are your thing – be on the look out -
it will be an awesome opportunity to steal an amazinly priced photo session/card set.
Details to follow.

And now…. for the adorable Ingram’s!!

The Horton Family:

Posted in Children, Portraits by Rachel Halsey on August 19, 2009

This was my first session with the Horton Family…. Lindsey contacted me about a month ago when I was offering my summer specials, and I’ve been looking forward to meeting them ever since.
They drove to downtown in order to meet me and we had wonderful weather (although a little hot at times…) and they were such an easy family to photograph!
Some of the candid shots I got of them just being “them” are some of my favorites. Enjoy:

Ingram Family Preview!

Posted in Children, Portraits by Rachel Halsey on August 17, 2009

I had the joy of getting to shoot a maternity session with one of the cutest and most photogenic couples I have ever met!
I work with Trey, and when I found out his wife Kelli was expecting their first child in November, I knew I had to let him know that I knew a great photographer (cough cough)… I ended up emailing Kelli and letting her know that if she needed any pictures, I was her girl! And lucky for me – Trey and Kelli took me up on the offer.
Here are a couple just to tickle your fancy until I can put up a whole post. In between four weekend shoots, working full time, getting ready to leave for vacation and – most importantly – EDITING… I haven’t had too much time for blogging ;)

Enjoy these precious pictures. Trey and Kelli (and Megan!) – you are two of my favorite subjects ever! Thank you for trusting me with these moments :)
