About Me


Create Your Own PaloozaHead - Visit Lollapalooza.comI look at my life these days as the great story of my life that I am creating. It's only my story...it's unique to me. My story has chapters of laughter, success, deep love, pain, loss, passion, and adventure. I don't know whats to come in the next few pages. But I can't wait to find out! LOL I only hope, that someday when I am an old lady (if i can make it that long), I will look back and be proud of my story. I feel like I have lived alot of life already for someone my age. This is me...I am brunette...I am five feet tall...I have green eyes...I am silly...I am funny...I am sensitive...I am moody...I am lovable...I am caring...I have a big heart...I cry when I'm sad...I am learning more about myself everyday...and maybe someday I'll have myself completely figured out...I am married...happily...I've been with my husband since I was 17 years old...and soon that will be half my life...I have four little boys...yes, they drive me nuts...but they are my bright spots in a sometimes gloomy world...and sometimes they become gloomy spots on a bright day!...I wouldn't trade them for the world...I just wish they'd quit fighting all the time!...I like people...I am a good listener...I have a degree in psychology...I graduated in 2002...but I did the "photography" thing instead...I have my own business...I do weddings...fun and stress combined...but I love to create an artisitic perspective and catch the feeling of the day...it's such an honor for me to photograph people's special moments...that they trust me to do that...it's such a wonderful job...my studio is in my house...I like to write...I want to write a book so badly about anything...I just don't have the patience or the time to sit and write it...I love to dance...I could dance for hours...I absolutely adore Rick Springfield...yes, he's the Jessie's Girl guy...but he has new stuff you've probably never heard...and how many guys look that hot at his age?...if you're still in your 20's, there is a chance he STILL looks better than you...my friends and I like to meet from around the country to see him play...In the past 6 years, I've seen him in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Illinois, Florida, California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, Oregon and Nevada!...Holy shit..I'm a groupie, huh?...I have wonderful memories...but I've really toned it down...I don't travel nearly as much as I used to...when I do travel now, it's mostly cuz I want to see my friends...I am a busy person...I can be lazy too...sometimes I sit and do absolutely nothing...and other days I am running kids to activities, folding ten baskets of laundry, editing 2000 pictures, and balancing a fishbowl on my head...I am a girly girl...I love pink...I have an addiction to handbags and coats...ok, also to sungasses and shoes...ok, also to make up and perfume...I love Las Vegas...I love the beach...I go to the gym a few times a week, usually...between working out and eating lettuce, I stay pretty small...unless I decide to eat chocolate for a week...and it happens...I love good food...my favorites are Japanese and Thai...but throw a pineapple shrimp salad from Bajio my way, and I'm a happy girl too...I'm a nightowl...I really like to have fun...I'll try most things once...unless they scare the crap out of me...I want to experience as much as I can...life is short...I don't want to miss out on anything...I am mostly nice to everyone...I don't like snotty people...they just really piss me off...if you are one of those people, please go away...Nobody is better than anyone else...if you feel that you are somehow superior to other beings, you need therapy...besides, I'm better than you...hahaha....I live life the way I want to...not according to someone elses rules...I am a good person...I am real...what you see is what you get...I wear my heart on my sleeve...you can usually tell how I feel by looking at me...unless I'm hiding it...how's that for confusing...my opinions are really my opinions...I don't say things just because they sound good...many people I know claim to be something they are not...I won't do that...Mean people suck...back stabbers suck...ya got an issue with me, tell me...I don't like games...If you don't like me, tell me to go away...see my headline?...I don't like to waste time..life is too short...I love good music...I think Bon Jovi is amazing...but I love all sorts of music...I love my ipod...just wish it held more music...just when you think you've bought something cool, something cooler comes out!...People say I look like Jennifer Garner or Sarah Jessica Parker...I don't see it...I get cold easily...I love to be all cuddly in a blankey when it's freezing outside...I like to listen to the rain...I like to look out the window and watch it get dark with the lights out...when everything starts to look kind of blue and sleepy...I like to take baths, listen to music and read my magazines...sometimes my bathroom is a world away from the real world...I like myspace a little too much...sometimes I'm a drama queen...my five year old son, Hunter is funny...actually all my kids are funny...I'd like to think that I'm very ambitious...I have a list of things I want to do before I'm dead...and I'm slowly checking them off...I believe that people come into this world with special gifts and that everyone has the ability to succeed in something...it's just a matter of getting off your lazy arse and doing it! I've decided to add my blog address here. I don't usually advertise much of my work on myspace - fear of crazy/psychos finding me .. but i suppose that could happen without myspace. lol If you are a photographer and want to see more of what I do. I update my blog as often as I'm shooting (which isn't a ton right now) at www.photographybyrachael.blogspot.comhttp://www....com/playl ist/additem/117936 http://www....com/playlist/additem/253420
