Beautiful beach sunset photo session from a few weeks ago for a local couple who are going to use some of the photos for their wedding invitations 🥰🫶🏼😻We got some great photos during golden hour & some lovely silhouette photos with this epic sunset too!
As much as I love the photos, I honor their privacy & wouldn’t want to accidentally do a spoiler alert & post the pic they’d end up using for their wedding invitations ~ so I’ll just share the epic nature photos from that gorgeous evening.
I have availability ~outdoors, at events or in the studio, for whatever the occasion.
Message me for inquiries & scheduling & feel free to check out my site for more info too.

I love way in the distance how the color of the ocean almost blends into the color of the sky. I also Love this beautiful place we live, amongst all this glorious nature, it is truly such a blessing.
I thank all the energies and divine guidance that led me to this place in Humboldt county, where I met my Love & where we had our son. I’m so full of gratitude & photos like this are a reminder of how special this place is.
My work update is that I’m back at the salon Sundays only~ if that happens to work for your schedule & you’d like an appointment, please feel free to reach out.
I’m also available for photography, whether in the studio or outdoors, so feel free to reach out if you’d like to.

My best friends & my family. My husband AJ & our son Jariah & his twin Ra. These 3 are my world ~ Other than AJ, Ra has shown up for me most during both pregnancy & postpartum, continuing to show me what it means to be family, to have someone we can count on for help.
Honestly our baby is amazing. He’s calm & happy & it’s such a joy & pleasure to take care of him. With that said, help is still much appreciated. Thank you to everyone who brought or funded food for us, came by to meet the baby & wash a couple dishes. We’re grateful 💕🥰
I took this photo on a family walk, just after sunset with my new 35mm lens that I’m in love with😻 message me if you’d like to schedule a photo session 🥳🥰🤩 I’d love to take your photos 🔮

Much Love to all, near & far 💕

Baby feet~ he got papa’s long big toe😛
In July Instagram deleted my personal account & my photography account (their error, claiming I was going against community guidelines & I contested it but they still deleted my account of 15+ years)
With that, I’ve decided to just post everything on this account whether personal, photography related or hair related- & I plan to do so in rows for organization so here goes another personal post 🥰 feel free to scroll on if you’re not here for it.
I Love being a mama, truly! And though obviously a very different experience, I also Loved being a mama to my baby doggy for over 15 years as well. So to all you pet parents I give much respect & recognition! I mean I am a vegetarian who made my dog meatloaf weekly for like 7 years- that’s commitment & sacrifice lol!!! Plus my baby girl Gravey boat was pretty needy too & I loved her so much!!!
Being a mama to this baby boy is a whole new experience & journey- it’s amazing & also kinda cool how many million things I feel like I’ve learned since he was born, 6 weeks ago. This toes pic was somewhere along the way & as I scrolled through the idk thousand pictures of him so far, I noticed how much he’s changed, oh so fast!! He looked & was so tiny when he was born though he weighed 8lb 9oz, now he’s over 11lb so it’s a pretty big difference on a tiny lil body. It’s so crazy how quickly he’s growing & changing & I’ve been witnessing this phenomenon with my niece & all my cousins children over the years but now I’m here witnessing my lil baby growing each day & woww, humans are pretty amazing in this way.
Anyway I’m babbling, like a brook, lol jk.
Though I’m not ready to post baby publicly bc my account is not private, if anyone wants to see my baby’s full cuteness, please feel free to message me and I’ll send pics 🥰☺️
Much Love y’all 🫶

I’m so in awe & in Love with this tiny lil human AJ & I made ☺️ it’s such a miracle to be witness to how amazing he is & to care for him in whatever ways he needs. I’m truly Grateful & focused on having gratitude for each & every moment…
As I know, not only is time very fleeting but not everyone who wants to have a baby is able to & I hold so much tenderness in my heart about that bc of my own experiences with miscarriages & my wonderment and worry during my recent pregnancy. I want anyone who has gone through loss to know that I know that heartbreak & I am here if you ever need support or a listening ear.
I’m sending Love to all & I pray for healing for all as well.
With Love,
Ducky Rae

It’s been a while, so here’s a tiny life update-This week I’m embracing the last few days of my 30s ☺️🫢😲 & I am totally in Love with my son, who is now just a lil over 5 weeks & I’m so in awe & full of gratitude for AJ as a papa & husband- he is so sweet & supportive to us & I’m in Love with him more & more each moment 🥰🤩💕
It’s been such a beautiful & graceful year, though we lost our beloved Gravey boat, we feel her presence & I’m grateful her spirit shows up in lil ways- like seeing all the we**ie dog Christmas things in the stores & other lil ways. Last year was challenging beyond captions allow lol- so this year has felt like a breeze comparatively, aside from the grief of losing Gravey of course. Luckily our son has filled the loss with so much Love & we feel Gravey is his & our protective ancestor now.
We’ve been blessed to have some family come visit & enjoy the baby- he really is amazing 😻 & we have more family coming soon so we’re excited to continue introducing the baby to everyone.
We’ve also had many friends come thru supporting us with meals- yay & yum & much gratitude for everyone who contributed to us & our new parenting journey. It’s been truly amazing- if I can describe it in one word it’s just LOVE - all caps bc it’s more than I ever knew I could feel, from every direction ☺️🥳🔮💫
I’m not ready to post baby all publicly but please feel free to message me if you’d like to see his full cuteness ☺️ I’d be happy to send pics 🥰
Also if anyone is desiring new mama input, I feel I’ve learned soo many things these last few weeks & I’d love to share or be helpful to anyone about to embark on or newly embarking on the journey of parenting 😊
Much Love to everyone & thanks for reading 💕
Mama Ducky Rae Ross-Elko ☺️
