There are so many photographers to choose from, why would you choose RaeVen Photography? What makes RVP (RaeVen Photography) so special? Why choose me to photograph your family?
First, because I'm passionate about what I do. I want to provide you with beautiful photos that you can display in your home and enjoy looking at for years to come. I do this by assisting you from beginning to end. By picking out a location for your desired backdrop, to picking out clothes that compliment your personality, to then meeting with you in person to help you choose your favorite images from your photo session.
I have a great time with my customers. I love capturing those smiles that make a person's eyes shine, to those natural laughs that truly show ones personality... That's what I want to capture. I don't want those posed, awkward smiles. From a baby's sweet grin, to a child's laughter as they chase bubbles, to a mom's warm smile as she lovingly looks at her child, that's what I want to capture for you. A wonderful memory of the stage of life you are in, of your family at this very moment in time that you will never get back and that so quickly slips away.
This is why I'm there helping you through the entire process, making sure that in the end you get what you wanted in the beginning...beautiful portraits that preserve this special moment in your life. Often we just go for the cheapest route, but this is usually not a wise decision when it comes to getting photographs taken. Are you going to take the time to get prints made from that cd or will it just sit and collect dust? And if you do get prints made, will those prints not fade over time, will they last for your generations to see years down the road? Do you know the quality you are getting? If you're going to invest in the time and clothes and money, then why not get something you
can truly appreciate in the end.
After your photo session, I will then come to your home and show you all the products I offer and help you choose your favorite portraits that you want displayed and put into albums. These are products that will last. They will not fade and they are of true quality. You are not required to purchase anything at all. It is just a service I offer, with all of my photo sessions, to assist you in choosing what images you want from your photo session. My children love looking through their albums and at their pictures of when they were younger, as do I. It reminds me of a sweet moment in time, that we often forget because they grow up so quickly.
So contact me today. I'd love to take your family's portraits and give you the RVP Experience. I promise, you won't regret it and you will be pleased in the end to have these treasured portraits for your family to enjoy for your years to come.
Blessings,
Rachael Venema

While we visited family in NW Indiana I had the opportunity to do a bunch of photo sessions. Most of them were located in DeMotte, IN. A small town, where we used to live and where my husband used to teach. It's funny how such a small place can impact one's family. Some of my dearest friends live there and no matter how many times we go to visit family, we always end up in DeMotte at one time or another to see friends or our church family there. These people have a special place in our hearts.
Tana and her family went to church with us and she attends Covenant Christian High School where my husband used to teach. She is a Senior this year. We started off her session at a friend's house where we took shots by the grand piano. (Special thanks to Karen H. for letting us come into her home and take shots by and even on her piano. Karen, you're awesome...nuff said). We then headed to Bass Lake, IN where Tana's family owns a cabin on the lake. As we were driving there I kept looking into my rear view mirror and watching these dark clouds follow us. I was really worried we might get poured on. Thankfully the storm blew north of us and gave us some awesome skies for a backdrop. And just when we didn't think we'd get a sunset, the sun peaked beneath the clouds to give us some of the most gorgeous light I've ever seen. Check out a few pictures from her session below.
I had the pleasure of second shooting Mallory & Ashton's Wedding with Lanie Coulter of Lanie Kay Photography.
It was a gorgeous Spring day and the wedding took place in a grassy field under a beautiful tree. Every detail was planned from the monogrammed shirts the bride & bridesmaids wore while getting ready, to chalk board signs with cute sayings, to the old fashioned car the bride rode up in. It made for a fun day of capturing all the little details of Mallory & Ashton's wedding. I had a great time hanging out with Lanie while capturing these special moments for this beautiful couple.
I had the pleasure of taking photos of my friend's six children. I have to say that these kids rocked their session and were great to work with. Even though they were hungry, it was hot, and there was a thunderstorm in the distance headed our way. None of that bothered them a bit. They were fun to hang out with and were curious about everything. And the youngest two boys...between the curly hair and the blue eyes, their parents better watch out. They are going to break some girls hearts some day.
We had a great time at Greenway Farms in Hixson, TN. I'd love to go back and explore more of the trails there. It's a beautiful place.
Check out this adorable family!
