Rachel is a recent graduate of Oberlin College and she is leaving town soon to move off into the world. She contacted me because she had never had a senior portrait taken in highschool because her choices had been the traditional cheesy background shots that you see at the generic photography studios. That hadn't appealed to her at all. But Rachel is smart enough to realize how important it is to document yourself at a young age and what better way than to commemorate the important moment of graduating from college. Rachel loves Oberlin and these photos will serve as a reminder of her time here in the college and the town.
I was excited to create these photos for her and Marissa at Adeva Salon and Spa was generous enough to donate her services again. Rachel is a gorgeous woman, but when Marissa was done with her, she was a knockout! Her hair and makeup really went with her clothing choices and we had a blast going all around Oberlin and vamping it up.
So, senior sessions aren't just for seniors in highschool. Anyone can feel like a queen or king for a day and document a time in your life. And for a limited time, Marissa is offering FREE hair and makeup services for these portrait sessions. Call today to set up your session.
Just one pair of Rachel's many fabulous shoes! I love shoes, don't you?
"Catitude" as Rachel's friend would call it, and an adorable dress!
Rachel, I wish you the very best for the future and please come back and visit.

I don't know how you do it, Tanya, but you make Oberlin look so urban! The bench in front of the library doesn't normally look so ... edgy. You are amazing, and these are beautiful shots.
T, I think she kinda looks like a blonde version of you!
WOW! I'll take that compliment! Thanks Xtina.
I just discovered Pinterest and am pinning it up and wanted to pin to some of your photos, which led me to MY photos, which always make me so happy to see. They are fantastic! And I never like photos of me! They are very special and I will treasure them forever.
My sister is getting married, so I have weddings on the brain, and in thinking of my (someday) wedding I have only one photographer in mind :)
Thanks Rachel! You are so sweet. Can't wait to be your someday wedding photographer. Hope you are doing great and loving life.
Best wishes, Tanya
P.S. I love these photos too. Not only because you are beautiful, but because you are inspiring as a human being. Very happy to have met you.
