Get To Know Elena S Blair Associate Seattle Family Photographer, Rachael
Tell us a little about yourself!
Hi! My name is Rachael. I’m a 28 year old mother to two babies and a bonus mama to one not-so baby. I grew up in Northern California, and moved up to Washington state in 2015. I love all things outdoors(hiking, gardening, fishing). When I’m not out exploring with my family, I love to create and work with my hands. Lots of arts and craft time in my house!
Why do you love photographing families?
There is something really special about capturing peoples personalities and emotions through photographs, especially children. Plus, it’s FUN! Lifestyle family sessions are casual, and super playful. Even when photographing a new family, I feel like I’ve made a few new friends by the end of it.
What is your favorite type of location to capture a family and why?
Anywhere in the PNW! Trees! Lots of trees. My favorite color is green ;)
When did you become a photographer?
I don’t want to sound cliche or anything, but I think I’ve always been one. It’s something that has always come naturally to me, since my very early teens. I guess you could say I became a “real” photographer, when I started doing it for a living nearly 4 years ago.
Do you have any more session dates left on your fall calendar?
Yep! While fall tends to be the busiest time of year for us photographers, I always try to accommodate when I can! Send us a message and I’ll see what I can do to get you on the calendar!
