Rachel Boekel Photography :: Meyer Mini Session ::
My Mothers Day Mini Event was such a fulfilling day, it was full of moments of appreciation, respect, kindness and so much love. It was also full of variety.

Baby Nash :: Brooks Alberta Portrait Photographer ::
I felt so lucky that this spontaneous session worked out. This little guy is as great as the rest of his family, he was easy to photograph, and very photogenic. My favourite moment is his little smirk during a Mom cuddle. Can it get any cuter!
