Hello, my name is Rachel! I was born and raised in Laurel, MD. I've been taking photos for as long as I can remember, and I have always been passionate about taking pictures of people and sharing beautiful moments with others. I love working with clients to provide photos that bring you joy and bring your vision to life. I love to create visual representations of the love that couples share with each other. When I am not taking portraits, I enjoy going on hikes to beautiful landscapes in nature and scouting perfect photo locations, as well as rock climbing. This project is a way to share my passion for these photography styles while sharing my skills as a professional photographer. I have added an addition of interviews with my couples to learn what they love about each other. With this spin on traditional photo books, I will be able to show my passion for reflecting the love that couples have for one another back to them. In addition, the answers give even more context to the love that we see flowing out of the pages of these books. Growing up, I had a hard time seeing the love others had for me and the love I had for myself, so I want to help others see it better themselves. For each couple, you can see the interview quotes underneath each set of photos. If you want to see more photos, please go to my website www.rightbrainedphotography.com, or visit my Instagram @rightbrainedphotography.
SEEING THROUGH THE LENS OF LOVE
Rhianna & Cordell
"What does love mean to you?" Well, I can go to scripture. Love is kind. Love is patient, and all those things -Rhianna and Cordell
To me, love is really just someone who's by your side at all times, has your back at all times, and is in front of you fighting with you at all times - Rhianna
Honestly, I could say I love everything about Cordell. He very much just represents what I picture when I picture God's love in people, and that's kind of what I picture when I see him and see us together. The first thing that I loved about him was his faith - Rhianna
Love is kind, love is overwhelming, love is calm, love is trust, love is true. Love is her, and love is us. Love is commitment, to her and to us - Cordell
I love how she encourages me to be my true self. I love how she encourages the sides of me that I did not think were good about me. I just love that she loves every part of me, and I love every part of her in turn - Cordell
Grace & Nick
Love means understanding your partner just as much as you understand yourself. And you can know exactly what they're thinking just by looking at them. - Nick
What I love about Grace is how sweet and thoughtful she is about everyone. Her first thought about every conversation is, What does the other person think? What are they thinking about? How can I or what can I do to make them have a better time? That's always what I've loved about her. - Nick
What love means to me is having understanding between one another, putting their needs before your own, and just loving them unconditionally, loving them, no matter their lows, their highs. Just loving them for them. -Grace
The thing I love most about Nick is that he's very passionate about everything he does. He works so hard to do his absolute best, and he's so hard on himself, but he shouldn't be, because he's great at everything he does. And I love everything about him. There's not one thing I could say, but it would have to be his passion for everything. - Grace
Ari & Thomas
To me, love means someone who is there unconditionally for you when things are hard and you're there for them and through the day, you have somebody to talk to and rant to, and you see them at their worst, and they see you at yours. But no matter what happens, you have that place in your heart, and it's just that companion, that person to be with, that person that gives you butterflies, that holds your hand when times are tough and awesome. -Ari
I love Thomas for his smile and his nose, and I love his eyes, and I love the ability for him to talk about something so basic and make it so interesting. And when he gets really, really interested in something, and he just rants about physics for like two hours. -Ari
To me, love is about every day feeling, it’s that feeling when you don't know what to do other than just smile and be happy because you have somebody that you're excited about, someone who you can work with and like grow with, as well as someone who can comfort and help you. -Thomas
I think Ari is one of the most intelligent, smart people I've ever met. She knows so much and she amazes me every day. -Thomas
