Rachel - The Trendsetter

This is our wonderful friend Rachel (holding Brenna):

She LOVES pictures. I mean, I love pictures, but Rachel LOVES pictures! She is the queen of scrapbooking and blogging; I am always amazed at where she finds the time! She decided last year that her camera was just not keeping up with her needs, and after much, much research and deliberation, around Christmas, she got a new camera. When Rachel commits to something, she goes at it full-on. So she practiced, took classes, continued to do research, became fluent in camera functions and the art of Photoshop, etc…

She takes pictures of every event, and after most of us bugging her for pictures of our kids, we started thinking…WE NEED NEW CAMERAS! Deleting over 100 pictures from Sammie’s third birthday party because they were too blurry and/or orange/yellow was the deciding factor for Nathan and I.

So one-by-one, we each purchased new cameras…actually, we each purchased the same camera. Seriously, she missed her calling as a Nikon sales rep! Now we are hitting Rachel to teach us how to use them right!

Rachel watching me with my camera thinking “(sigh) I really am going to have to teach her how to use that thing right…” and Bridget saying, "don't worry, you can teach us all together" :)

We love you Rachel! Thank you, in advance, for the hours of patient training you are going to provide!
