Stephanie Raechelle Photography: Blessings!

First of all, I wanted to let everyone know that this year is bringing a new chapter in my photography business. As many of you know, I have been working full-time as a photojournalist for nearly the past three years in addition to growing my freelance photography business. Well, as of the first of the year, I am officially going full-time with my business which is a huge personal accomplishment! Although it saddens me to be leaving behind my Taylorsville Times family whom I dearly love, I am very excited to be able to pursue my dream of doing my photography fulltime! I especially am grateful for Marty (my fabulous husband)who is standing behind me in this new endeavor...without his love and support, I know I wouldn't have the courage to step out on my own (so thanks honey!) In addition to taking on a fulltime role in my business, I am also teaching photoshop through the Photographic Technology Program at cvcc...my first class was yesterday & I really loved it...photoshop is a passion of mine & I think it will be fun sharing that with my students.

I feel so blessed right now in my life & just thought I'd share it with you guys! I have a family that loves me, a husband who is more than I could have ever asked for, friends who I know would do anything for me (and likewise), and a Lord that has truly blessed me with so much! It's funny how slowing down & just having time to think about your life can reveal so much that you overlook in the hussle & bussle of this chaotic world.

Secondly, I would like to thank all of my 2008 clients for allowing me to take part in your lives. I had so much fun this past year & each shoot, although each was very different, holds a special place in my heart. I wish all of you a wonderful 2009!

Here are just a few photo updates from some of my recent shoots...
