Rachel: senior || dallas, tx engagement & wedding photographer

Monday, January 23, 2012


She's the one that I know will always laugh at all of my lamelamelame jokes and stupidity.  In fact, I usually act extra stupid around her just to make her laugh because it makes me feel like I'm actually kind of funny sometimes.  She's the one that I can always count on to have my back whenever aaaanyone does anything that was maybe possibly slightly offensive or hurtful towards me.  (Or maybe I just imagined they did...who cares?  She's ready to knock their head off.)  She's the first one to ask if I need help or tell me to calm down when I get super stressed, usually over something silly.  She's the one that I used to (Who am I kidding?  This still happens...) get in trouble with when we would get the giggles at the dinner table and we just couldn't.stop.laughing. to save our lives.

I have 18 years of HI-larious stories and laughs and memories with this girl.  And I wish that you all had the pleasure of knowing the funny, tough as nails, beautiful, servant-hearted, best friend of a sister that I have.  But since you can't, I'm happy that I at least get to share some of her senior pictures with you.

These pictures have been sitting in a file on my desktop for a while.  I haven't posted them up until now because there's actually a part two of the shoot that I keep thinking that we're going to do and then I could post them all together...but I got tired of waiting.  So you get to see them in two installments.


















Part two coming later this spring!

Much Love.
