about Rachel:


Hi! I'm Rachel. I grew up in a Brady Bunch meets Partridge Family household: 3 brothers, 3 sisters and me, all of us passionate about the performing arts. Unconventional is the word that best describes me. I refused to pierce my ears when all my friends were doing it; my husband proposed to me while I was wearing sweatpants; we later eloped to Jamaica. When Millie announced that she was interviewing for MHP company photographers, I drove all of the way from Ohio to Wilmington, NC for the job interview.

I've got lots of energy, I'm spontaneous, and I have a unique way of looking at the world. They're the qualities that make my life a little crazy, but they're the same qualities that make my photography "vibrant, colorful and just right for Millie Holloman Photography" (that's what she says...what a compliment from her!). Oh, and just so you know, my wonderful guitar-playing husband and I are now based in Charlotte, NC. What about you? Ready for spontaneity and surprises? Then check out my blog…

Julianna asked me to do her bridal session a few weeks before her wedding at the historic Duke Mansion here in Charlotte, North Carolina. Now that she is a married lady, I'm so excited to share a few from her shoot! This was the first time I met Julianna, and it was such a pleasure. She lights up the room with her smile and gracious southern style. Her one request for her bridal photos was soft, pretty light. We got lucky with a gorgeous, sunny day so it couldn't have been more perfect!

Here's a few of my favorites from the session:




Julianna showing off her humorous side. Love it!


Favorite shot of the day. Julianna, you are always beautiful, but I think you look absolutely stunning here.





It was such a pleasure getting to know you, Julianna! I can't wait to show you the wedding photos!

Courtney is my awesome second shooter. If you have had a wedding with me in the past year or so, odds are you know her! She has made my work so much easier by doing her job well, and I appreciate her dedication so very much. I felt so privileged to do her maternity photos!

We met in my neighborhood on a stormy day and drove around a few miles here, a few miles there, pretty much winging it. I love doing quick shoots like this with someone that trusts me enough to know that it's going to turn out great! Courtney's outfit is adorable, right?! And I have to say, I'm totally jealous of her amazing hair.







I have been wanting to take pictures here for years. Years! I drive by this spot almost every day and say, "I'm gonna use that place one day". This was the day and I love it!


The one request Courtney had was to find a pretty field for a few shots. I must say, this is one of the prettiest fields I've ever come across. Add to it the fact that Courtney carries her baby bump beautifully and you've got a smashing set of images.







Courtney's relative made these sweet booties for her baby girl. How cute is that?!


Courtney, I can't express in words how much I appreciate you, your hard work and dedication this year! I am so so excited for you to be a mom and I can't wait to work with you again!

Carrie and Erik just tied the knot in Asheville, North Carolina, and I'm so excited to share her bridal photos with you! The awesome staff at The Orchard House welcomed us for Carrie's bridal session. When we arrived, it was already starting to thunder and lighting. We thought for sure that we'd have to do the majority of the pictures inside, but somehow the rain held off for 45 minutes so we could get these lovely images.

Carrie is every bit as sweet as she looks! She's the type of bride that reminds me why I love what I do.


The light was so soft and sweet!



These next two images remind me so much of southern living at it's finest.



Carrie is a gorgeous girl, and was an even more gorgeous bride!



Keep looking for Carrie and Erik's wedding at the lovely Crest Pavilion in Asheville, North Carolina!

Hollins is a beautiful girl who radiates energy and spunk! It was an absolute joy to come visit her and her family for her photo shoot. We started in her room where she loves to spend lots of time reading.


Her vanity is so typical for a teenage girl! I remember when mine looked just like it. There are so many notes and trinkets on there I'm surprised she can see herself in there! ;)


Tell me who looks cute in nerd glasses?! Hollins, that's who.


Hollins is really into theater, as am I! The multiple hats reminded me of how an actor must take on so many characters.


Hollins asked for this apron from Anthropologie for Christmas. She loves to cook and I hear from her mom that she's really good at it!




After being outside for a short time, the family decided to take a popsicle break. So cute!


The three brothers. All equally adorable.




I must say, I have dreamed of a porch like this. These next few are my favorite from the session.





Hollins, it was such a pleasure! I had a great time with you and your family. Thank you so much!!!
