grotegut's photostream
|
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!"

"It's always such a joy when I see Rachael add new images to her stream...she's definitely one of my favorites 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"

"Rach's photos make my day. They make me remember and wish and laugh and cry. She's really that interesting, or at least she makes the people she photographs that interesting. Unlike some people (like me hehe) you don't get sick of seeing her kids, since they're always into something new and she really has clever ideas to spice it up."

"I love Rachael. She's a beautiful person, inside and out. I love watching her little guys grow up before my very eyes. I still up to this moment wonder how she gets such fantastic shots of her boys. Extremely talented and sweet."

"Rachael's photo stream is full of beautiful images. The way she captures children always stands out with their sparkling eyes. I love her classic style that could be from any time, past or present. She has the most vibrant and rich color in her photos, she is constantly an inspiration. She has two of the most beautiful boys, an image of hers will always bring a smile to your face. She was one of the first people I "met" on flickr and has been such a great friend."

"Rachael, you are a continued inspiration to me! Your photography is very refreshing and original. I absolutely love the creamy skin colors, sharp eyes, and great composition. It's been very fun watching you excel and reinvent your skills with every photo you post! You have a very good eye and very creative ideas. I look forward to seeing more of your work!"
