Rachel O'Brien

I grew up in Quenemo Kansas, a very small town of 700.
My husband and I met in second grade in Sunday school class. Childhood sweet hearts since 7th grade. In 2002, I married my one and only, 3 weeks out of High School. Almost 19 years of marriage and 24 years of "being together". It has been an incredible journey. We have 4 kids. Two girls and two boys. Grace, Elijah, Josiah and Ella-Kate. It is hard to believe they are 17, 15, 13 and 9.
We live on 3 acres with a couple cats, chickens, and my 4lb fur baby, Paisley. Our family is Disney fanatics. We visit Disney world every year. We also love to cruise and travel the world. Our motto is work hard so you can vacation hard. We want our children to look back and not remember "things," but the memories we made together.
In my spare time, you will find working in the yard, playing the piano, running and weight lifting. I love the outdoors and being active.
Photography has been my passion since I was a little girl. You would always find me with a camera in my hand. I was always saving my money as a child to get my film developed. Oh how time has changed.
I believe that photography adds so much value to our lives, by recording special events, people, or places, as well as helping us learn and grow as people. Images holds the memory of loved ones, connects you with others, documents your life, it helps you notice your world and stay in the moment, and brings so much joy.
