Devon Rae Photography I specialize in lifestyle photography.Fresh 48, Natural Newborn, Family, Children, Senior portraits

Oh God, as I bring my subject into focus and prepare to make each portrait, nerver let me forget that I’m creating treasures for some family, a keepsake for loved ones. Make me sensitive to the qualities and virtues of others, that I may draw out into the light the beautiful radiant belongings of their hearts. Help me to be an artist, collecting the beauty of every soul, the glow of youth, the gen

tleness, the laughter or tears of each life that is precious in Thy sight. Deeper than a means of livelihood, give me the perspective to see my photographer’s art as a service to others, making life richer and more memorable. And, dear Lord, between the lights and shadows, the ups and downs and the rolling years, keep me from getting out of focus or off center, so that my life and work may be framed with dignity and colored with contentment …

Meet your photographer Monday!

- I haven't done this in a very long time, so figured now is a great time to reintroduce myself to you!

I have always said I started photography in high school- senior year, when my ligament injuries forced me to quit sports I picked up the camera to stay connected with my teams, then the rest was history. Hoooowwwevvvver I recently remembered, I did photography in 4-H growing up and fell in love then, and THAT'S why I had hope when I picked it back up in high school. That was fun to remember!
I also went and completed an Associates Degree in Creative Media & Design, in high school. Within that I learned film, photography, editing programs, and graphic design. At the time, I had zero idea photography would end up being my career. I was still headed to NMSU to attain a speech pathology or teaching degree. Which I guess if you look at it, I am using all my schooling for all my "careers" technically. πŸ˜‚

A few facts about me :

β€’ I love being outside from gardening, hiking, or camping
β€’ I have tattoos but not near enough
β€’ I don't know if I love coffee like I use to anymore and that's a little sad, kinda
β€’ I will drink 738292 energy drinks before I drink enough water for the day, working on that πŸ€ͺ
β€’ I have 3 daughters
β€’ I homeschool said daughters and it's the best part of my life
β€’ my husband cooks the most in our house
β€’ I have a super weird, very dangerous obsession with Tabasco
β€’ I love my doggies
β€’ I'm scared of the dark
β€’ I also can't see in the dark
β€’ I SUCK at technology
β€’ I am from the Hatch valley, grew up mostly here in Artesia - my heart craves to live elsewhere though.
β€’I do not like to fish or hunt despite that's all I grew up around from all sides
β€’ I also don't like football, like at all
β€’ I do love me some baseball / softball
β€’ I second guess my photography 80x a day
β€’ I also second guess my sanity 85x a day but that's a story for another day

My favorite parts about my "job" are making people cry with their galleries - so please always tell me! && I love hearing "we have never been here" when I take clients to certain locations like White Sands, Bottomless Lakes, Cloudcroft, etc. I love showing people the world outside!

I am back from vacation and back into the "office" today and ready to get creative with you! I am pumped and inspired after a well deserved break. I will get to messages shortly and post availability soon!

Did you know my office is a closet in our homeschool room? πŸ˜†πŸ€ͺπŸ˜‚ also working on that.

Tell me a random fact about you in the comments!

A reminder : I am out of office :: aka unreachable :: starting tomorrow until 5/14.

I am pretty certain I have delivered all you mommas your galleries for Mother's Day!
I am pretty certain I have delivered all seniors and families a chunky preview if not your full gallery.
I am pretty certain I am not forgetting anyone- but if I am, please message me.

I have literally worked my ass off the last two months and have delivered - DELIEVERED - 6,789 images. That is culled + edited and sent out. It's truly clinical but it's fine.

Now, we are taking a life break and I will bust my butt again when I get back.

✨I am going to host Kindergarten Grad minis, if you want to prepare gowns or outfits for that it will be the week of 5/18-5/21. I might possibly post those tomorrow on our drive to get it done. So be on the lookout just incase. I don't know how not to work, but I really am going to sure try! lol lol
