Merry Christmas!

I'm sitting in City Brew in Missoula, Montana, listening to Christmas music and working on a few last minute details for a few clients and just wanted to take a moment to tell all of you Merry Christmas! 2008 is going to be an amazing year for Rachor Photography - including a new office/studio in Bend coming in March. Thank you to all of you for a great year. I hope your Holidays are merry and bright and I will try to post some pictures if it every really gets nice and snowy out here.

The Shaffer Family

These are the Shaffers - our good friends from Montana that moved out here to Oregon the same time Matt did. We are doing images of their little baby girl Lily every couple months to show how much she is growing and changing. Check back for updates! Thank you Shaffers, for being such great (and may I mention good looking) friends!

Jessie

Wow it's been a crazy couple of months! Lots of families, a couple of weddings, and some seniors. Here are a few pictures of my beautiful cousin Jessie. She's a senior up in Port Townsend, WA. She's grown into a beautiful young woman with a bright future. Since she is 9 years younger than me, I've gotten to see her grow up and it is amazing she is already a senior and going to college in the fall! Now that I've thoroughly embarrassed her, here are a few of our favorites!

And this is just for fun.. and MySpace ;)

Aiden & Addison

I got to photograph Aiden almost 2 years ago. This year, I was lucky enough to get to photograph him again, along with his little sister Addison! We tried a few other times, and because of sickness, bumps, and bruises, this was our 2nd shoot and fourth attempt! But the delay meant some beautiful October backgrounds.

Chris and Lindsey

Here is a little preview for Chris and Lindsey - a couple of good friends who honored me with the privilege of capturing their wedding in Forest Grove, OR. There are many more to come, just wanted to get one of my favorites up to start out with!

Welcome to my world!

Thank you so much for visiting the brand new shiny blog for Rachor Photography! A little about us - Rachor Photography was officially born in 2005, shortly after my husband Matt and I got married and I moved from Montana and Wyoming, to sunny Central Oregon. Since then, we have been photographing weddings, families, kids, food, and different locations we have been lucky enough to travel to. I plan to start out with a photo of the week, and beginning in 2008, hope to display one photo per day - whether it be work for a client, or something random and fun to spark my creative juices! To start us out - here is tonight's sunset, from our front door.
