I know many have been waiting for this post for some time! The thing is, these two little ones keep me pretty busy. They’ve been fabulous babies, but yet still take time. They will be 7 weeks old this week and I can hardly believe how much they’ve changed and grown. But, most of all I am amazed at how much our family has changed and grown and will continue to do so. These little loves have changed Jake and my life for the better and I already don’t know what I’d do without them. Besides sleep more, that is…
First, I’d like to introduce “Baby A,” Miss Emery Mae Marthaler. She weighed in at 5 lb 4 oz and 19 inches long. She is our sweet pea, smiley little lady who loves to cuddle!

And, introducing “Baby B,” Levi Jacob Marthaler, weighing in at 5 lbs. 8 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. Levi is our handsome, serious little guy!

These two were great little baby models for their mom! Let’s just hope this keeps continuing!






Baby cuteness close-up just melts my heart! Little Levi….

And Emery…



Emery & Levi’s nursery is decorated in lambs, so it was only fitting that when I found lamb hats we had to do photos in them for the nursery!



And, thank you to all who have been so patient with me while I’ve been on maternity leave! I plan to be back in May and can’t wait to get behind the camera again!
A big thank you to our dear friend, Noelle, for giving us a hand for the twins newborn session!

These just melt my heart! You did a wonderful job, they will be so spoiled with great pictures of themselves! I hope all is well with the babies, they are to die for
Love these pictures! I said “Awwww” out loud about 10 times. You are such a great photographer! I hope one day when we have kids, we get newborn photos of them that are THIS awesome! XOXO
They are SO gorgeous! And you are so talented. They’re lucky to have a mom like you.
Simply adorable. Beautiful work and beautiful babies!
Super Cute Rachel! They are too cute!!!
Beautiful
Rachel & Jake: Congratulations, what adorable babies. Beautiful portraits as always Rachel.
Rachel they are beautiful!!!!! I love the photos. I cant wait for baby number 2 some day so I can have some adorable photos from you like these. I love love love them!!!!
So special
Great pictures Rach!
Rachel, absolutely breathtaking! Please explain how long it took you to get them to sleep to work on the photography part.
Beautiful babies Rachel! Amazing pictures as always! Sounds like you are enjoying every minute with your babies.
So amazing Rachel!!! I adore all the beautiful pictures of your babies and I love thier names
We think of you guys often, especially since my younger sister is expecting twins the end of November too! I have to share your photos with her…so precious!
Alissa and Thadd wanted cattle theme in their engagement photos. If you know me, you know that makes me pretty excited!! Like Jake and I, Alissa & Thadd met through the cattle industry. Not only are beef cattle something both Alissa & Thadd are very passionate about, but having the opportunity to meet each other from states away probably wouldn’t have happened otherwise!
I’ve been able to watch their relationship grow from when they first started dating. So, to get the opprotunity to photograph their special day is pretty exciting!





I have many favorites from their session – but LOVE these two images:

Thank you so much, Rachel! We could not be more happy with how they all turned out.
Rachel you did such a wonderful job. Cannot wait for you to do the wedding pictures.
Love these pics. The coloring is awesome
Rachel and John are so laid back and just all about having a good time. Which always makes for a super fun wedding day as their excitement just spilled out into the wedding party & guests! Their friends were so supportive and helpful all day long. Plus, gorgeous August weather… they had a perfect wedding.
The day began at the St. Thomas campus chapel… was it ever a gorgeous setting!

I love the excitement of the first look that my assistant, Morgan Klinnert captured!

This little sweetie turned one a few months ago and the session slipped by my blogging radar. It must have been to save it for a special day – and there is no better day to share these sweet photos than today!
Little Regan has conquered more in her first year of life than most of us adults have. At just 6 months old she had heart failure which left her waiting on a mechanical (berlin) heart until her angel heart came along. A what a tough little girl she proved to be! Her new heart has been a perfect fit – and, what better way to celebrate than with some heart photos for Valentine’s day!!
Isn’t she just the cutest? All the little cuties I photograph make me even more excited my new little “loves” to be arriving sometime in the next month!

As usual,the pictures of this little doll are wonderful and what a small miracle child she is!
Love these pictures of sweet Regan Lou!
These are so perfect!
I just love these pictures she is so cute!
Adorable
Cassie and John are such a sweet couple… It’s just so fun to see them interact and you can just tell they are the perfect match for each other. They tied the knot in the dead heat of the summer. Days we would long for now, but at the time air conditioning felt pretty great! Take a look at their gorgeous day…


I just love the excitement of the first look!









Cassie’s sisters sang at the ceremony. Let’s just say they could stop people dead in their tracks about anywhere with their singing – they are so talented!


By evening it started to cool off a bit so we were able to get some fun outdoor photos before the party began!






Wedding details are oh so pretty and this wedding was no exception!


Congratulations Cassie & John! It was so great to spend your special day with you two!
