Rachel Clarke :: Photographer bio picture

Hi! I'm Rachel Clarke! I am a fun laid back wedding & portrait photographer for the VA MD DC area! I have a wonderful husband (<------as you can see he makes me laugh... a lot. :) ), 3 beautiful children, and an amazing relationship with Jesus!

I love anything creative, shoes & accessories... shocker right? :), music that you can dance to, the color pink, flowers - especially ranunculus!, and things with a story behind them.

When it comes to photography, my images are real... they are emotional, and fun. Take a look around and leave a comment... or two. :)

Natalie Grant, Britt Nicole, & Phil Stacey! :: Concert :: VA MD DC Photographer

Thursday, April 22, 2010

Okay before I start blogging about the concert let me just say I know what some of you may be thinking…. where is Trendy Tuesday?! Annd where is What is it Wednesday?! I took a look at my blog the other day and it made me realize that if I were a client looking for a photographer I would not want to dig through the fluff to see her pictures. SO from now on a blog post will not be made unless it is accompanied by my work. So it’s back to the drawing board for a weekly blog topic – mainly to keep me accountable for blogging consistently. I’m so sad to say goodbye to Trendy Tuesday – as I absolutely loved doing them – but it was also such a huge time consumer! So goodbye Trendy Tuesday, and so long What is it Wednesday…… Here’s to the next new idea!

MMMMkay so the concert! was AMAZING! It was right here in town at Spotswood Baptist – which was so nice for it to be so close! I came along as the official photographer for WPER - love this job! PER had given away two spots for meet/greets and front row seats – these gals were so excited!!

The winners posing for a shot with Britt Nicole!

My hubby & Natalie Grant!

Phil Stacey was so laid back and cool – you’d like him a lot!

He opened for the night, and what an amazing start.

And then came Britt Nicole – she’s full of energy and has a heart full of God.

There was a brief intermission, but right before hand Natalie Grant came out and spoke to the crowd about a a cause near and dear to her heart. Radiant Hope.

I purchased this necklace because I loved how it had a deeper meaning beyond its looks. The necklace comes with a card that says : “This necklace has 27 tears representing the 27 million women and children who are slaves right now. These are on a chain to represent the cruelty of slavery. The key represents your commitment to be an abolitionist and set them free!”

So after everyone flocked to buy some of this Radiant Hope! Natalie Grant came out and blew us all away with her amazing voice.

And just before the end, all 3 singers came out and sang together – it was beautiful.

I seriously love my job.

Justin Clarke - I seriously love your job too. And what an amazing night. It never really sank in until I got home that night, but we met a No. 5 contestant on American Idol who has hung out with Jordan Sparks and a bunch of other stars, and is friends with them… and he was just shooting the breeze with us about the Navy and USMC backstage before he blew us away with his great vocals! Very cool. It feels great to be blessed.

wtgm3 - Thanks for posting the pictures! They are awesome. I especially love those of Phil Stacey. I have been a fan since his days on “American Idol,” and was so excited to have met him recently in Tampa. He is indeed a likeable guy.
