I’ve written before about the importance of printed photographs. I’m a huge proponent of taking those memories and making them into something tangible; something you can touch and feel. Some people choose wall portraits while others opt for linen folio boxes of matted...

With every client and every portrait session from With every client and every portrait session from family portraits to a business headshot, my goal is for you to enjoy your time during the photo session and receive beautiful images that you are wanting to display in your home or, as a business, to use in your marketing.  We all react differently to getting our photos taken and I'm here to help you have an enjoyable experience.  This is why I talk to you on the phone to find out what your goals are for your photo session and what things you might be concerned about.  Check out this client's recent headshot experience.  Receiving a review like this makes my heart full in that I accomplished what I set out to do.  No matter what type of photo session you book with me, I promise that you will receive my utmost attention throughout your entire portrait experience.  So we will always begin with the end in mind, and my goal is to exceed your expectations.  I truly care that much about every single portrait client.  #rachaelvenemaphotography #rvpheadshots #professionalheadshot #riponca #businessportrait #portrait #headshots #headshotphotographer #riponheadshotphotographer #centralvalleyheadshotphotographer #bayareaphotographer #bayareaheadshotphotographer #beautyportrait #executiveportrait #studio #rvpstudio #portraitphotographer #women #businesswoman #corporateheadshot #northerncaliforniaphotographer #sfbayareaphotographer
I had the honor of photographing this dynamic powe I had the honor of photographing this dynamic power team. (Swipe right to see a few of their images)  This mother/daughter real estate team knocked it out of the park with their stunning photos.  I love creating photos that truly make you shine. Every headshot session includes my time in guiding you on what to wear, posing so you look your best, image selection right there with you, and full retouching on every image.  Need an updated headshot that you truly love? Contact me today to schedule your professional headshot.  I promise you’ll walk away with images for your marketing that you truly love.  #rvpheadshots #rachaelvenemaphotography #rvpprofessionalheadshots #rvpfamily #riponca #centralvalleyheadshot #centralvalleyheadshotphotographer #bayareaheadshotphotographer #studioheadshots  @blandinabobwilson

As the sun sets on 2020 my hope is that, in the mi As the sun sets on 2020 my hope is that, in the midst of one of the craziest years yet, you are still able to look back and see all that you accomplished.  It may have been simple things, like spending more time together as a family, growing closer to God or realizing how much a simple hug means to you.  It also may have been big things like having a baby, homeschooling your children, or growing your business.  I hope this past year has taught us to not take things or people for granted.  I know I've missed simple things like hugs from friends, dining inside at a restaurant, and gathering for group events like school programs and concerts.  I've also enjoyed a little bit of a slower pace of life (although life is still full somehow) and more time together as a family.  So as the sun sets on 2020, I hope you can look back and not only mourn what you've lost, but celebrate what you've gained. (even if you gained the Covid 20 lbs... then celebrate that we can wear leggings every day.🤣)  #rachaelvenemaphotography #newyearseve2020 #2020isfinallyover #celebrate #lookback #mournwhatyoulost #celebratewhatyougained #thankful #sunset #oakdaleca #familyphotographer #oakdalefamilyphotographer #familyportraits #silhouette #family #growclosertogether #covid20lbs
When someone inquires for a photo session, I alway When someone inquires for a photo session, I always ask to talk with them on the phone.  Why? Because I want to know your story.  I want to know about your family and what they mean to you.  I want to learn about you and your family, so I can create meaningful photos of the people that mean the most to you.  This family... they've been through a lot. Probably more than most in 2020.  What I see is a woman who has endured really hard things, but does it for the ones she loves.  She would do anything to keep her children and her sister safe and loves them more than life herself.  Through it all she is still smiling and her family loves her more than she even realizes.  Since I know their story, I see this in their photos.  When she saw their photos, she saw this too.  I can't wait until all of their wall art and their beautiful family album is on display in their home.  It will help them get through the hard days and remember the good days.  Where are your portraits?  Do you enjoy them daily?  Are they printed beautifully for you to enjoy in your home?  This is the goal for every photo session booked with RVP.  Your family portraits deserve to be printed beautifully and enjoyed on display in your home.  #rachaelvenemaphotography #rvpportraitexperience #rvpportraits #rvpportraitstudio #portraitstudio #wallart #printyourphotos #familywallart #wallart #customportraits #customportraitexperience #familyheirlooms #familyhistory #yourfamilyasart #rvpfamily #rvpfamilies #riponca #centralvalleyca #bayarea #sfbayarea
2021 Seniors, I know your year has not been what y 2021 Seniors, I know your year has not been what you thought it would look like.  Who would have thought that the pandemic would have lasted this long.  I know you've had so many things that you have missed out on.  Here are a few things that I hope you can take away from all of this:
- you are resilient. If you get through your entire senior year during a pandemic and come out okay on the other side.  You can get through anything.  - focus on the good.  Even in a year full of plans you missed out on, I know there is still something good that came out of it.  Maybe it's more time with family.  Maybe you got to work at a job that you wouldn't have time for.  Maybe your relationships with family, friends, etc. have grown closer.  - Perspective.  You can always change your perspective on something.  You've had to do this all year.  Now you know how to pivot and still survive.  That's a great life skill.  We all have a choice about what we will focus on and what our attitude will be like.  I hope you can find the good in this crazy year we've had.  Let's celebrate your Senior year by creating portraits of this time in your life.  #rachaelvenemaphotograhy #rvpseniors #riponcaseniorphotograher #seniorphotography #seniorologie #riponca #senior2021 #senior #riponhs #rhs2021 #centralvalleyphotographer #customportraits #seniorportraits #seniorphotographer
