Fall Photo Sessions

Fall is my favorite season as well as my favorite season to photograph in.  I love the smell of fires, and crisp air, and enjoy getting a new wardrobe out to wear.  Sweater weather, means I can wear my boots again!

  I feel like Autumn is a lot like my photography style.  Colorful, Fun, and beautiful to look at.  Leaves make a great prop to throw up in the air, or catch as they are falling off the trees. 


The colors of the trees are spectacular and makes for the best backgrounds!   Check out some of my favorite shots from this Fall's sessions.











 Remember its never too late to update a family photo!  Documenting your families growth is something you can ever go back and do over again!  Having a short session with Rachel Beck Photography will ensure that you have a great time doing something different and together with you family.  As well as, allows you to have a photograph to cherish into the future no matter what may come your way!

New Office Space

The time has finally arrived when an office space was necessary.   In mid July my wonderful supportive parents and I took a drive around the area looking for available office units.  We looked at 3 places and 748 Bethlehem Pike in Springhouse Pa was the perfect fit!

The days of meeting with potential brides and grooms at Starbucks have ceased!  The online proofing concept is now a in person meeting to preview your photos together with me to help assist you with making choices for your package.  Now I can have the joy of seeing your faces when looking at the artful portraits I have captured for you which was the last piece of my happy business puzzle which needed to come together.





Once signing the lease in early August my Mother Debbie and I went to town shopping for furniture, curtains, and designing the look for my 1st office space!   Day 1 we found the cute pillows for the sofa which inspired us to go with the red and black motif.  We returned to Costco to purchase the last leather sofa, and last two zebra chairs that were available!   Stacy the wonderful woman at JC Penny's helped us make curtian decisions which brought the rooms together.





       Few trips to Ikea,
shopping online to find a black desk, 
and the look was almost complete...












 48 inch flat screen TV brings your photos to life! 
Coffee table full of my wonderful album designs.

I spent hours to choose what images to hang on my walls to represent my best work.  Finally once day all the canvas gallery wraps and the frames were all ready to go be placed around on the walls of my office!

  My Mom and I hung them with care, discussing each ones placement in detail.  Once stepping back and seeing the completed product, was over whelming!  It was then that I realized how far I have come in such a short period of time and how lucky I am to have been able to make a small business a success within the first 3 years.  I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for me and my photography.

Thank you to everyone who helps support Rachel Beck Photography. Surly none of this would be possibly without you! 

Manayunk Mania

Another favorite spot of mine for engagement photos is downtown in Manayunk!  I was introduced to a few select spots from a bride of mine last year Beth and Courtney!  Every time I got there to shoot, I remember the 1st time going there with those two!  I just had a not so photogenic couple before them.

Then once I get to meet Beth and Courtney I fell in love, and it was one of my best sessions at that point in my career last summer!

 Never had seen two people more in love!  The photos prove it!







Here is some of what I have done in Manayunk over the past year!

Roxy their dog really made some of the photos!

Hey Roxy!

one of my favorites!

Always looking for new doors, or textures to shoot on.  This Garage door new!  

Cathy and Zach :)

                                             Lauren & Tom<3          

 Lauren & Tom cancelled with their original photographer once seeing their engagement photos from him!  Rachel Beck Photography was always their first choice, so glad that they ended up booking with me.  I insisted on re shooting their engagement session for them, and lucky we did!  They are incredible images as well.  This day was a 98 degree humid as all heck day!  We met for an adult beverage before starting our session, and got out into the heat, and got done and have beautiful photos where you will never know how hot it was that day!

A Testimonial Which I'll Treasure Forever!

Dina and Dwayne a couple of mine was introduced to me by my best friend and Event Coordinator Sarah Morrison with All About Events.   Working with this couple was more than a pleasure and I cannot wait to help document many more moment within their future together!   Dina wrote to me a beautiful testimonial which brought tears to my eyes!  Thank you two for every kind word written.....

Rachel,

Until now, I have never written a testimonial or even a review for a product because (as bad as this sounds) I never cared enough to make the effort.  This is my first testimonial and one that I feel is greatly deserved.  

When we first met you, Dwayne and I had such a great feeling about you and instantly knew that the job was yours (despite having met with several other photographers as part of our due diligence process).  You have been a consummate professional throughout our wedding process and have greatly exceeded our expectations.  On the "day of", you were literally everywhere, and captured photos that we weren't even aware were taken.  Your talent, professionalism, and energy level also were noticed by many of our friends/wedding guests, who have repeatedly commented that our photographer was amazing . . . and we could not agree more.  

Funny true story . . . Dwayne and I attended a birthday party last evening and a few of our friends (who were also guests at our wedding) commented about the photographer taking pictures at the party that "she was no Rachel Beck"!  LOL

The pictures that you took at our wedding (and during our engagement session) were absolutely beautiful and the turnaround time for getting the images back to us was extremely fast.  Moreover, with some many great photos to choose from, we truly appreciate your willingness to sit down and help us pick the perfect shots for our wedding book.  

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we would highly recommend you, as a premier photographer, to anyone who asks and we look forward to being able to use your services again to capture the next of many happy life events . . . Rachel, you are officially our "photographer for life"! :-)

With love and respect,

Dina and Dwayne Edghill

Table #'s created from our Engagement Session!

Baby Mason

Funny story about this family.  I was contacted by them via Google to capture some maternity images before giving birth.  We confirmed the session the night prior and I show up to their house and no ones home.  Here Allie had gone into labor late in the evening!  Missed getting the pregnancy photos, however meeting this little bundle of joy and seeing the incredible images we captured once he passed out!

My favorite shot!!!

Little did I know when arriving at this lovely couples home, would I be leaving with some of the most precious and outstanding newborn photos to date!  Hope to be able to watch little Mason grow up by documenting milestones throughout this families future.  

Mommies in full Bloom!

January of 2011 brought me three beautiful pregnant women all who wanted their bumps documented in the final stages of their pregnancy.  Keeping my grandmothers up to date with my business endeavors I share with them what types of photo shoots I have that week.  They cannot get over at their ages of 79 and 90 that women want photos of themselves while pregnant.  In the 50's when they were pregnant they had to  hide their belly's once they were showing, and at most times stop working.   Look how as time passes so many things can change.

All maternity sessions are different.  Any vision you may have in mind I am up for photographing.  Coming to the hospital to capture your first day together is a great addition to any baby album.  Check out my Hair Stylists Maternity Mania Portraits, Pregnacy through newborn!  This is a beautiful Babies Beginning's album which is a part of my Maternity Mania 3 portrait session Package!

Prophecy Creek Park 2011 Engagement Sessions

2011 sure has been jam packed with new couples who enter into my camera's lens!  New equipment on top of inspiration and new ideas are whats making this year for Rachel Beck Photography so much better than ever before.  Once the Spring finally hit us is when the Engagement sessions began to be scheduled.

 I have been to my classic Prophecy Creek Park which has been a favorite park and place to photograph now for over a year since a  couple Shaun & Lauren  from last year introduced me to this hidden jem.  It is currently almost complete within the process to transform into a event venue.   Here we have Dina & Dwayne at Prophecy Creek Park! Lovely Couple who's wedding just passed in June!

 Andrew and Meredith :)

Each time I visit this park (which is pretty frequently), I try to find a new way to photograph the same spots I photograph every 2 weeks!  As you can see depending on the time of day and com positioning the images I can surely make this place look a little different everytime.  Naturally every couple brings something new for me as well, bringing out new expressions of love which is my main focus while photographing couples for their engagement photos.

 Stephanie & Brian <3

I find myself laying on the ground for a good portion of my sessions, leaving me to discover new ways to photograph the very ordinary (which anyone can do) and create a timeless images which looks extraordinary!   Contact me at Rachel Beck Photography to discuss your wedding photography options!
