Ute Valley Mini Sessions | Collaboration with Tend.To.Events

I count myself very fortunate to have such wonderful and supportive friends in my life!

These 4 mini sessions* are all my friends and have supported me through different stages of my photography business!

Josh and I moved from Indiana to Colorado in 2012 with Michael, Riannon, Collin, and Stephanie. We’ve walked through a lot of transitions and life milestones together, and it just so happens that I get the privilege to photograph some of them! Rachel Rumple Photography is founded, in part, on their belief and trust in me to capture who they are and the memories of their growing families. I will forever be grateful for their support!

Sarah and Jordan are some of the most encouraging friends I have in my life. They are people builders. Does that make sense? They are those people who see the good, the truth, and the beauty in the people around them and they’re not afraid to tell you what they see. Their intentional words fuel me and remind me why I continue to pick up my camera and why I love to photograph families!

Maggie and Joe moved to Colorado and into our lives just a year ago. Despite the short time, to Josh and I, they are those people who step into your life and immediately feel familiar. I really appreciate Maggie’s hilarious and creative spin on encouraging me in photography, too. She once described me as being able to “create ethereal magic all over your face and photo sesh,” and I will never forget it!

Also, it should be noted that these 4 awesome women each hustle and are amazing at what they do!

Riannon owns Kozy Kids and knits the softest scarves that you definitely need for winter! She has a ton of cute mommy and me options that would make perfect Christmas gifts and has also added headwear! Check out her shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/KozyKids1212

Stephanie owns Kingdom Cleaning and will attend to every nook and cranny of your house. She cleaned our house 3 weeks ago and did an amazing job! She also specializes in move out cleans. You can find her here — https://www.facebook.com/Kingdom-Cleaning-403132176782252/

Sarah owns Chic Bambino and crochets the most darling hats you have ever seen for little kids. I’m talking about dinosaurs and giraffes and elephants! She also makes winter wear for adults! I have her slouch hat and wear it all. the. time! Check out her shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChicBambinoCrochet

Maggie has two full-time jobs, as mom and teacher, because she homeschools her two amazing boys. As a former teacher, I have an idea of the commitment and hustle she must put in every day to teach them! She often posts about their excursions and learning on IG and I’m honestly jealous of those kids! They’re getting such great experiences and learning and I applaud, encourage, and cheer you on, Maggie!

Love you all so much! Thank you for your friendship and support. I would not be who I am, personally and as Rachel Rumple Photography, without you. 😘

*Giant shout out to Tend.To.Events and Susie, Megan, and Glenda who provided the gorgeous props for these sessions. We had a blast hanging out at Ute Valley Park all afternoon and I am so appreciative of their professionalism, unique eye for beauty, and overall delightfulness!
