Harris Family, Party of 5!

Family portraits, a 30th birthday, and baby #3?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So much happy!


I recently got to help this awesome family break some wonderful news and celebrate a very important birthday. It was an absolute blast and I'm so happy for them! Harris Baby #3 is on the way, and he or she will be arriving in February of 2021. Ariel felt that celebrating her third decade by announcing that they were expecting their third kiddo was the perfect way to let the world know about their impending new arrival.

 

 

Leo and Oliver were treating the occasion with a calm and not-at-all silly decorum, as per normal. (Man, these guys need to lighten up once in a while and stop taking themselves so seriously.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They even convinced mom and dad that while smiling is crucial to every good family portrait, there's also no harm in throwing in a few silly faces.

Congrats to Ariel and Dan as they prepare to welcome their third kiddo and happy birthday to Mama Ariel!

...and hey, boys...get ready! Player 3 enters the game in February 2021!

Emerging from Hibernation

Okay, so, the title of this blog isn't totally accurate. I've definitely not been hibernating--I wish, because then maybe I would have caught up on sleep. But alas, winter was still crazy busy, and as is apparently my yearly tradition, I neglected keeping fresh entries going here for the blog. Sigh. At least I'm consistent.





Hi! Happy Spring, y'all! Life is rolling merrily along and no matter how much I think January and February will be "quieter" months, I'm always wrong. (It's not a bad thing and I'm of course not complaining.)





Now, the weather is warming up and the busy spring season is getting ready to start in earnest. We are ready to go and have a ton of stuff on deck for the spring and summer. We're about to kick off our first contest of 2017, gearing up for all our spring weddings, maternity, newborns, and family sessions, and organizing our first open water mermaid sessions, which I'm incredibly excited (and a little nervous) for.





We hope you're having a good spring so far and can't wait to see everyone's smiling faces for your sessions and events. For now, enjoy some of our favorite images from the past couple of months!

2016 Portrait Giveaway!

Okay, happy new year, y'all! I hope you're all happy and healthy and enjoying January so far. We're gearing up for a huge year, but wanted to start 2016 (yes, I know we are halfway through the month, it's been a crazy few weeks, okay? Jeez!) off right with a contest. I teased it a couple of weeks ago on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/rachelsullivanphotography), but finally, I'm happy to reveal our first portrait giveaway of the new year!

To celebrate the start of 2016, we are giving away a portrait session to one lucky family; the winner will receive a two hour portrait session including approximately 25 high resolution photos from their session via digital download. This contest is open to families, couples, or individuals. To enter, simply leave a quick comment on our Facebook

wall telling us why you want to win; you only need enter once (duplicate entries or multiple entries per household/family will not increase your odds of winning). Additionally, if you have a friend or family member who you'd like to see win, you're welcome to nominate them in your comment instead of entering for yourself. 

The legal mumbo-jumbo:

--No purchase is necessary to enter this contest. Simply comment on our Facebook wall telling us if it's you or a friend you're entering, and you're good to go!

--The free session can be used for families, kids, babies, couples, pets, or individuals; the only things it cannot be used for are boudoir sessions, wedding photography/engagement sessions, and promotionally priced or discounted sessions. 

--Limit one entry per household/family; multiple entries will not be considered. 

--Employees of Rachel Sullivan Photography LLC and their immediate families are ineligible for this contest, but are still eligible for high fives, handshakes, and hugs from me at no charge. 

--Free session must be photographed by December 31st, 2016, and will be scheduled with deference to pre-booked events and sessions. Location of session is TBD. Location and session date details will be chosen with the contest winner after the contest concludes and a winner is chosen. 

--Contest winner will be selected at random on Monday, February 1st. Entries into the contest must be in no later than 11:59pm EST on Sunday, January 31st to be considered for the random drawing. 

More questions? Feel free to drop me a line. Good luck, and we can't wait to see who our first contest winner of 2016 will be!
