Rachel Lauren Photography's photostream  

I hate to sound so harsh, but with past abuse of my images, I DO NOT condone my images for use on things such as youtube slideshows, myspace layouts, role play websites, etc. EVER...ever...seriously. The answer is always, and will always be NO.
**If you are interested in using any of my images for publication please contact me. I've been published several times in the past and it makes me happy



This is me:


"If I didn't have my camera to remind me constantly, I am here to do this, I would eventually have slipped away, I think. I would have forgotten my reason to exist. And I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me."

And I somehow ended up with this wildman, Oliver ;)


I'm Rachel. I have a love for dogs, and if anything my dog Zero is your reason for checking out my stream. I'm a freelance photographer by day, with a focus on canines. My world is and always has been canids! I have a BFA in Photography, but I also enjoy studying all things canine related such as behavior, nutrition, etc.



I'm also the staff photographer for local facility Eden Creek Wolves. I get to spend a lot of time working with and photographing these amazing animals, and it's honestly a dream come true.

When I have free time, I like to photograph just about anything. Flickr has been a wonderful place for me to not only share my dog images, but everything else in between. I love random country drives with no destination. I love all abandoned buildings and places, be it a school, house, or old factory. If a place says 'No Trespassing' I am more than likely to explore it...why do people hide such wonderful places with those signs? I will share them with the world in photographs anyway:



I also have a fascination with old photographs; because of this I do a lot of 'antiquing' with personal work. When I'm not making pictures, I'm busy with my fiancé working on his landscaping business and family farm. We live in a nice house out in the country.
