We are the Grotegut fam (yes that really is our last name). I am Rachael, mom to two of the coolest kids around. Gavin who is 3, and Keaton who will be 2 in April. I also have a kick ass husband named John who is truely my better half.
I have never considered myself to be a photographer. I tell people I like to take pictures, and sometimes people pay me to do it. I have come so far, yet I still have so much to learn. I am a flickr addict and my husband says I love my laptop more than I love him. He's right.

Pure Joy, thats the phrase that comes to mind whenever I visit Rach's flickr stream. She has the most incredible ability to capture those childhood moments, you know, the ones that we all wish we could keep forever but somehow just miss. Not too mention the personality on those boys of hers always seems to make for awesome photo ops! I still want to know the secret on how she makes her little ones eyes glow the way they do. By far, one of my favorite photographers, and streams on Flickr!

Not only is she a wonderful photographer and a super sweet person, but she has two of the most beautiful boys that we all get to watch grow and learn and change thru her lens. Thank god for cameras! I always get a little chuckle when I see what her boys are wearing...they always have the cutest little shirts on! I love that she's creating these amazing photo treasures for her family, and mostly that I get to peek into her world thru her beautiful work! xoxo
