Book Your Newborn Sessions NOW!
Posted on January 22, 2010
Wrinkly skin that looks two sizes too big. Impossibly tiny fingers. Fuzzy shoulders and arms. Ahhh, newborn babies. It is just such a precious, fleeting phase.
Let us help you capture it to the fullest.
We love newborns and pride ourselves on the quality of our newborn work. We’d love to be able to help you remember this special, fleeting time.
For a limited time, we are offering a special on newborn photography. We will offer 35% off of our pricing for newborns 2 weeks or younger if booked before Feb 20th, 2009. You may book session without a firm date (since we know the actual delivery is always anyone’s guess usually), if you will be booking for a date after the 20th of Feburary.
For those considering newborn photography, the best ages to photograph are before 2 weeks of age. After about a month and a half, the best ages for baby photos are 6 months, 9 months, one year. While babies can be photographed at any time, the ages of 2 months to about 5 months can be especially tricky, since the babies have less trunk strength, but are less apt to sleep well, if you’re looking for the sleepy baby shots.
We can’t wait to meet and document your little one.

Testing my willpower
Posted on January 10, 2010
Yeah, I pretty much wanted to run away with this adorable girlie. She was SO snuggly. She wanted to be snuggled and held all session long.
It made it a little bit challenging, since she was not pleased to be put down and not held, but honestly, I loved holding and rocking her. Crystal, Eve, and I just were in love with this one-week-old.
Sigh…I love newborns.

As promised!

Ah, winter.
A time to relax in front of a cozy fire with hot chocolate and marshmallows, donning slippers and robes, and enjoying the comfort of a comfortable, warm house.
OR!
You could get married. Or have family pictures. Because, really, what is prettier than the snow and the gorgeous, warm-colored winter light? Really, not much.
First, the King family. Woo! All 15 of them!
Then we had the Jolley family. This is the family of our awesome intern Megan!
Can you guess what one of their favorite pasttimes is??
For those of you who know her, this pose is SO Alix!
Cutest couple EVER, no?
Then came the McEwan family. Fun fun fun family who ALSO braved a light dusting of snow as we shot. I think it added to the beauty.
It almost looks fake. The snow is SO perfect.
A funny thing with this pose. We had an engaged couple do it back in July, and since then, SO many couples ask to do it, having seen it on the website. One day, we should do a contest of all of the renditions of this pose. 
Love it.
THEN we had a SNOW WEDDING! It was like a fairytale.
It was snowing quite a lot when the couple came out of the temple, so we speed shot and got some really fun, magical December wedding pictures.
It doesn’t hurt to think warm thoughts!
Do you think he likes her? Yeah–just a little. 
Then off to the nice, dry reception hall.
Mmmmm.
And wait folks, we’re not done yet!
The George family braved some very very chilly weather, but got some amazing pictures. The light was to die for. It was so golden and lovely, I wish I could bottle it and keep it for when it was warmer, but this southern light is just something special.
See? The pose!
And finally, the Fagerberg family. Again, a little snow didn’t stop the fun.
Four GORGEOUS girls. One lucky photographer.
I just love her rockin’ her model pose. So cute.
So, there is a little taste of all that’s been up for a month or so. We also got to do a session with a newborn today, so that will be posted shortly. Stay tuned!
Oh, and P.S. What do you think of the new look? Still a work in progress.

About Rachel Rehart Photography
Posted on January 9, 2010
My oldest two sons were officially diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in January of 2004–when they were 4 and 2, respectively–and it began to make sense why I could never get the studio settings of big chain photographers to work for them. We went for a long time without many really GOOD pictures of the boys, and as our family grew, I became more and more restless about this. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and learn photography! Once I had the skills to photograph my own sons in a way that they found comfortable, without harsh flashes or lots handling and posing, I wanted to share it with other families who faced the same challenges creating keepsakes of their family’s life.
Along the way, I’ve discovered I just love photographing everyone! So what started as a very focused journey in chronicling my own family’s story has become a passion and an artistic outlet.
If you think I am the right fit for your family, wedding, or child’s photography, contact me at rachelrenee1@gmail.com or call me at 801-766-3791.

A boatload of new pictures coming soon.
Posted on January 3, 2010
With all of the shooting and the holidays, I have gotten behind in posting, but there are so many families and a wedding to post. Hang in there. I hope to do it today or tomorrow. But our Facebook fan page is updated. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/RplusCPhotography?ref=ts It is so much easier to upload tons of pictures on there. So check it out and become a fan, if you have not already. We love fans.
But fear not, since this season of insane shooting is over, I ought to have a little more time to devote to showing off all of the adorable families and the awesome wedding we shot. (Just a spoiler for that, it was done with falling snow!! Fun! And on Facebook…so come be our fan!)

Holiday Madness!!
Posted on November 16, 2009
Snow has settled on the valley floors. Halloween has come and gone and Thanksgiving is nearly upon us. The holiday season is ready to start, and what does that mean? Why family pictures, of course!
We have been running around like photographers with our heads cut off lately, which is a good thing for everything except the blog. That gets neglected. Oh, ok, and yes, my laundry pile. It gets neglected too. (But I am always looking for excuses to neglect that, so….)
In an act of contrition for having neglected the blog so much, I was thinking of answering a couple questions we get asked a lot.
One of the questions we get asked all the time is “What do you need to learn photography?” Well, the answer varies for lots of people, but to start with a serious study of learning to read the light and expose properly, etc., you will need an SLR camera. That is different than a point and shoot, in that YOU will be able to take control of all of the aspects of your camera. You’ll be able to take it off of Automatic mode.
What’s wrong with automatic? Nothing, for family snapshots! It’s great. But when you’re looking to create art, you’ll find it is a lot easier to do if you’re in the driver’s seat and the camera is not the one calling all the shots.
Great, so you have an SLR, what now? The kit lens it came with is ok, especially if you’re keeping it on auto, but once you decide to start taking control and working your way towards full manual control of your camera, you’ll probably want to get a new lens.
But hold on to your hats. When you go lens shopping, you might die of sticker shock. Lens prices are…well, the are not cheap. Some of our favorite lenses are over $1K each. But don’t let that discourage you. Because there is a hidden gem for beginners out there. It is the 50 mm 1.8 prime lens. This little beauty is about $100 and it has a fixed aperture and can open to a relatively wide 1.8. Now if you’re just starting out, that might not mean much, but trust me…it is important.
And finally a gray card. Actually 2. An 18% gray card to learn exposure and a White Balance gray card, for learning to get correct color.
There are all kind of other goodies out there like flashes, zoom lenses, wireless triggers, strobes, backdrops…we could go on and on…but these 3 items are some of the most important things you need to really get going on photography.
Without further ado, here is a taste of what we’ve been up to!
There was Jenny and Bryce’s fairytale wedding
We had tons of gorgeous families
We had a really fun maternity
and some newborns!
Whew! And we haven’t even hit our busiest week yet! We promise to write when we resurface!

Don’t forget to check our website
Posted on October 27, 2009
I try to keep Rachel Rehart Photography updated for those who knew me from the beginning and tend to check this site most often. When I first decided that I would offer my services as a photographer, I started on this site. But then I met Crystal and we teamed and created R+C Photography and our skills and business have grown exponentially since we decided to join forces.
We also have a website with all the pretty music and lots and lots of our pictures, all neatly catagorized. Check it out. R+C Website I know there are people who check this blog fairly often, so I just wanted to point out the existance of the website.
We also put a lot of recent stuff on our R+C Photography’s blog as well. I try to pick some of my stuff and stick it on here as well, but it’s only half of the story.
So, feel free to keep checking this site, as I’ll keep updating it, but give the others a gander every so often. (And leave a comment…please?

Bridals and families
Posted on October 8, 2009
Again, doing a big share of lots of recent work. We’ve been swamped with families getting in for Christmas pictures, as well as some bridals. We’re also doing some preschool pictures and product photography. Lots and lots going, and we love every second of it.
This is Rebecca and she is just SO gorgeous and so sweet and amazing. It was a privledge to work with her and we had such a great evening.
The days are getting so short and the light is gone fast, and that evening there was traffic in every direction, so we were so worried that things would not work out. BUT, Rebecca was so awesome. We got tons of shots in a short amount of time.
An AWESOME family, who braved the first cold snap of the season to come out for pictures. Aren’t they just adorable?
And another bride in downtown SLC

The family that smashes cake together…
Posted on July 24, 2009
I have a lot of kids. Five, actually. And yeah, I thought we had fun with their little birthday parties all. Sweet little snapshots of them smashing a cupcake in their highchair and all. But now? I want to go back and redo it all.
This family was SO cute. They ALL got into the cake smashing. It was just adorable. I laughed and laughed, and how many times does a photoshoot turn into one of those hilarious family memories? I truly wonder if this one will be that way, in the end. It was great.
We started off with some family photos.
And the the smashing began
And then mom and dad got into it
And then the cake was fully smashed.
And you’d think that was the end of the fun, wouldn’t you?
Wrong!
This cake smash was not over until the last morsel of cake was SMASHED!
