Exciting things on the Horizon...

Sarah Rhoads — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 03:58:39 +0000

So some of you faithful friends and blog readers may be wondering why I haven't been posting as frequently lately... There is a reason little ones... there is always a reason. ITDR has been working away for the past handful of months on my awesome new blog. I have been eagerly awaiting its launch and it should be any day now. I am so excited to show the world all of the fantastic work that ITDR and my design team here in Seattle (Hot Lunch Cold Lunch) has helped implement into the new blog. It is going to be fully, authentically and un-appoligetically me and I cannot wait to birth this beautiful little blog baby. This current blog will soon be like that honda accord I got when I turned 16, always special to me... but now I'm a big girl and it's time for a new ride folks. Hold on to your seat-belts... I'll keep you informed of the new link to the goodies as soon as I can.

*And of course I cannot post without some photo goodies.... this is a frame from an engagement session I shot a couple days ago... somehow it felt appropriate for this post, full session to come soon.

Ginny & Gough: Engagement

Ginny & Gough are so awesome. Ginny has the most amazing laugh that lights up a room and Gough is really good at making her laugh ;) It is an excellent combination of goodness. I had the pleasure of being connected to Ginny & Gough through my dear friend and wedding coordinator extrodinare, Michelle from, Married and More with Michelle.

Ginny & Gough are actually my neighbors in Queen Anne and they adore it as much as we do. These two are incredible and I had so much fun on this shoot. I cannot wait for your wedding in June guys!

*This photo describes Ginny to a tee :)

Allison & Brandon: Engagement

Sarah Rhoads — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 20:53:00 +0000

Allison Rhoads found me while doing a google search for her sister, Sarah Rhoads.... instead of finding her sister, Sarah, she found me ;). Allison and I share the same last name with the GOOD spelling. I think that's pretty rad.
Allison and Brandon have traveled the world. They are avid hiker's, camper's and explorers. When Allison told me about her and Brandon's love for the outdoors, I knew I had just the perfect place to take them ;) and it happens to be one of my very favorite places to shoot in Seattle.
These two are romantic and so natural in front of the camera. Enjoy Allison Rhoads and Brandon.

Today I am thankful for...

Sarah Rhoads — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:46:14 +0000

my amazing husband and best friend who supports me and dreams with me.
the talents and gifts God has given me and the opportunity to use them in a real way.
the amazing people that have been brought into my life, the way they have encouraged me, loved me, taught me and supported me.
our new little Seattle home ;)
our sweet families.
for the greatest friends in the world to spend thanksgiving with when family is far away :)
the list could go on forever... but today, like many others, I am thankful.

Rhoads Promo Video

Sarah Rhoads — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 03:06:52 +0000

So we had a killer Alpah-Release Party for our new website/blog/branding and promo video this weekend at our place. It was good times had by all. And we are so excited to release our new web site and blog to the world at the end of December. Get ready.
But just to give you a sneak peek into the goodness that is to come we thought we would share our promo video, created by our friends Casey & Danielle at MindCastle Studios. Thanks to everyone for coming out to the party this weekend and for all the love... Enjoy a little Rhoads Family Goodness...

Leda & Jonathan: Engagement

Sarah Rhoads — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:35:26 +0000

This couple has honestly rocked me.... for so many more reasons that what I can mention here but here is a list that explains why I am that much greater of a person for having met them:

1.) They've got soul - as defined by webster this is a "deep feeling or emotion," they have this amazing depth to them that is like magic.

2.) They've got Passion - there is a certain kind of intensity about these two that I totally resonate with. Everything they do is with passion, enthusiasm and with intention. I absolutely dig that.

3.) They've got a humble confidence - You know those people who lead with love? That is these two. They have these humble hearts aimed at putting others first, coupled with a total confidence in the people that they are. What a beautiful thing this is to see lived out.

4.) They've got the gift of encouragement - After I met these two for the first time I left feeling on top of the world, feeling un-stoppable. Mostly because they are some of the most encourageing people you could be around. I also get encouragement quotes in my inbox from Leda that always seem to come at the right time, this was the last one I got, "What we vividly imagine, ardently desire, enthusiastically act upon, must inevitably come to pass." beautiful. simply beautiful.

5.) Jonathan practices chivelry ;) : This is one of those things that I am a total sucker for! Jonathan loves Leda. He puts her first. He opens her door, walks on the side of the street that cars are going by, he's just a total gentleman and I just love that! That's one of the things I adore about my own hubby.

So I could go on forever about these two... This quote by Mother Teresa reminded me of Leda and Jonathan, "In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love." - Mother Teresa
