Hello! My name is Rachel Emens! I am a photographer in Athens, AL.
If you know me, you know I don't deal with death gracefully, or most times, at all. It's a struggle I've always had. Now, don't get me wrong, I know my God is real. I know there is a Heaven, and I know you can't live to 950 years as Noah did. "sigh."
Recently, my granny has been "progressing towards Jesus" I like to say that instead because it brings me peace, so feel free to steal that. While during this season of life, one of the only things that have brought me true peace was getting the last photos with her I could. Now, I know photos won't be her hand holding mine, or her advice on those hard days, and telling me to "be sweet" every time I get off the phone. But those images brought me a memory. A memory I'll forever cherish with her. It's something when she's off with Jesus, and I need to see her face with mine, just once more. To see her smile, the wisdom in her face, and to see the love she always carried for me.
I made this page so you could have those memories too with your loved one. I wanted to do something to show Jesus since he has given me so much. I am offering FREE sessions to those families whose loved ones are progressing to Jesus. I know how hard these times are, but I want you to look back and have these memories. You may tip if you'd like, but that is not a requirement. I truly hope you see the love of Jesus and feel peace and comfort during these tough times. If you are or know someone who needs this, please send them my way. I'd love to capture your loved one. ❤️
