Long Island City, NYC

Our crazy talented friend Rachel is branching out in her career to pursue a long time dream of singing country music so new photos were needed and we were more than happy to visit the big apple again and make that happen. Rachel has been a friend of ours for a few years now and it’s been beyond amazing to watch her take over New York City as Wednesday Addams in the Broadway Show, The Addams Family. (She’s also played the role of Glinda in the show Wicked which pretty much sums up how awesome she is.) Her face is all over the city standing next to Brooke Shields in posters for the show and I’ll admit, we were a bit dorky taking photos of the posters when we saw them because, well, it’s pretty cool to see your friend on the side of a bus in New York City next to Brooke Shields in a photo that’s bigger than life. And, we’re trying to build up a good gallery of photos to sell to People Magazine after she wins her first grammy. Just kidding. Kind of. ;)

Here’s Rachel…

Nate rocked these photos of Rachel in front of the graffiti wall while I distracted security. ;)
Dear Rachel, please come coach me on how to look this amazing all the time. Sincerely, Becka
Rachel wanted to do a bit of “country girl in the big city” so we found a perfect stretch of skyline…
I love this one…
The wind was relentless with Rachel’s hair but I love how this turned out.
Sometimes I sit and wonder what it must be like for Rachel to look this smoldering all of the time…
Here’s my favorite outtake… Nate loved the graffiti of that little boy and luckily Rachel is goofy enough to let him pose her like this…
There’s Rachel, all bigger than life, as her character Wednesday Addams in the Times Square billboard for the show-

We don’t do maternity portraits often anymore as our schedule just doesn’t really allow it. But when Traci (one of our oh-so-sweet past brides) told us that she was expecting their first little bébé we couldn’t resist a photographic rendezvous. ♥

In case you see a strange red-head show up at your wedding…

Don’t worry- It’s just Becka. ;)
