Bridal Portraits

I still don't have wedding photos, but I do have these bridals from January. My dream was to have them in a cotton field at sunset. And we got it! I was a little nervous at first, I think you can tell in the photos. But by the end of the shoot I was comfortable and at ease. Those photos came out the best!

This last photo was the portrait featured at the wedding. It was a huge hit!

West Texas

You might be wondering where in the heck I live now. I'm in a little town west of Plainview TX and northwest of Lubbock TX. I'm south of Amarillo and have only a 1 hour drive to New Mexico. It's a wonderful area known as 'West Texas'. We all claim one another. If you were to ask someone from Lubbock if they were from Amarillo they'd say "No, but I have an aunt/sister/brother who lives there". See? We're all family out here. If you need help the people of West Texas will make it happen and by the end of the day the whole town will know your name.

My mom sent me this beautiful video featuring a photographer's view of West Texas. I hope you enjoy the video below. I watched it yesterday morning and it reminded me of what I love about this place. No buildings, no roads, just God's great earth, wild animals and nature. NONE of these pictures are of my small town. But I've been to the Palo Duro Canyon and it is beautiful. I am definitely in the market for a high end camera so that I can feature my small town as the gem it is. Enjoy the peace and quiet in this 5 minute video:

Livin' in West Texas in my High Heels!

I am totally in love with Instagram. You can find me as RachelKellar on Instagram. When Twitter first came out I thought it would turn into something like Instagram with all the tweets containing photos....but then Instagram came along and twitter remains mainly text and links.

Anyways, every Friday I want to share with you some syncronizing photos from Instagram. I don't know about you, but I find it thrilling when a friend from NYC is having a snowcone and another friend from Texas is having one too!! It's so fun when worlds syncronize like that.

Enjoy, follow me on Instagram and enjoy your Friday!!

Beverage Anyone?
