Rachel McKen Photography

I’m ready for snow and cozy blankets now

Rediscovering my love of sketching these days :)

To the guys out there photoshoots CAN be fun! Hersh, here, started the session thinking back to the horror of family photos back in the day- awkward poses and fake smiles. After our session, he told me how pleasantly surprised how much fun he had! Even though he thought they were awkward and inexperienced in front of a camera- it was FUN! And look how cute they are!! Can’t wait for their wedding in the summer!

The most beautiful sunset and warm evening for this engagement session

A few more from Chris and Barb’s day

A preview of Saturday’s wedding :) This couple has the coolest story and family heritage. Their marriage is an example of God’s redemptive power and goodness.

That time I crouched in a bush for 2 hours waiting for a proposal it was worth it @jnickel09 @_kaylie_

I love seeing positive reviews and happy clients! Photos from this backyard family session to come

2 years of love for my best friends and a baby on the way!

First and only time I’ve done a project like this! It was for the University of Regina a few years back while working for an architecture firm maybe you’ve seen it

We did not stop laughing from the second we left the house that’s how you know you have great friends and a successful shoot!

Three little pumpkins

My friends are ENGAGED! (If only you knew how precious this moment was ) . I may have hid crouched in the bush for 2 hours but the excitement and surprise was SO worth it! ... . Congrats Jaden and Kaylie

The only green patch and the only shade... who knew it could look so mystical @ Yorkton, Saskatchewan

A (very large) bouquet in watercolor. . I was beyond excited to surprise my best friend with her wedding bouquet painted in watercolor! Happy 1 year wedding anniversary jess and mark ... . This piece was difficult. It challenged my detailing, setting proportions and so many other skills. But, it also brought me so much joy to paint, especially during the months I didn’t have work due to covid. One of my favorite pieces so far! I’m glad it’s in good hands and in a beautiful home. . Keep an eye on my stories... this one might be in print for purchase soon (at a smaller scale)! If you know you are interested, send me a dm!

+35 and 65 km . Happy 10 years of marriage to Brit & Josh! ... . FYI - the sun blinded me for the majority of this shoot so I’m pretty stoked with what resulted @ York Lake Regional Park
