Rachel // Cleveland, TN

These days, I feel like the luckiest person I know. Yes, there are the stresses of work (Starbucks) but the strides I’ve made toward owning and running my own business since graduating in May have been nothing short of God’s divine blessings. I certainly can’t plan these things myself.

So yesterday, Rachel and I got together, knowing full well the weather forecast was thundershowers at any moment. But the clouds in the sky created some really moody photos and toward the later half of the shoot, the skies cleared a bit, the mood changed, and it never rained a drop!

I absolutely adore Rachel. Her tiny frame contains a powerful punch for a spirit. She absolutely loves people and I think she will make a big difference in the world someday. She reminds me of my best friend, Leah, who is working in Santa Monica at the corporate offices of TOMS Shoes. In fact, in all these pictures, Rachel is wearing two different pairs of TOMS.

Gotta love it.

Whew! So much fun with these.
