Rafferty & Grace

A little something you might not know about the face behind Rafferty & Grace! ❤️

I've debated sharing this, but I figured it might help explain why I do things a little differently when it comes to communicating with clients.

I'm deaf in one ear and have hearing difficulties in the other. I CAN hear, but understanding what I'm hearing is sometimes a whole different story! 😂 Just ask my kids how many times a day they hear, “HUH?” “WHAT?” or “STOP MUMBLING!”

Phone calls are especially challenging. Even on speakerphone, background noise, certain tones, or someone speaking quickly can make it difficult to understand everything. And when my three-year-old hears speakerphone, he apparently thinks he's been invited to join the conversation, too. 😂

I rely heavily on watching people's lips when they speak, and closed captioning is a MUST in my house!

I know I've probably missed out on some business because I'm not always able to answer phone calls, but I never want anyone to think I'm ignoring them or that they're not important.

When I ask to communicate through text or email, it's because I want to make sure I understand you! Your questions, requests, and all those little details deserve my full attention.

So, if you've ever called and received a message instead, now you know why! ❤️ I'm always happy to help, and texting or emailing is simply the best way for me to do that.

Thank you for understanding this little part of the person behind the camera! ❤️

For the longest time, I struggled to invest in myself and my business. But somewhere along the way, I started believing in what I'm building. ❤️

Seeing these banners and all the little things coming together makes my heart so happy.

Here's to believing in yourself, investing in your dreams, and seeing where they take you. ⚡

Christmas Mini Sessions are open! 🎄

This year’s setup features a custom backdrop I designed specifically for these sessions, so it will be unique to Rafferty & Grace Portraiture.

Sessions are quick, simple, and perfect for updated family Christmas photos without committing to a full session.

30-minute session
3 digital images
$75 total
$25 deposit to reserve your spot

I’ll be offering Christmas Minis in both Ohio and Mattawan, Michigan, just like last year.

OHIO:
https://raffertygrace.pixieset.com/booking/christmas-minis

MICHIGAN:
https://raffertygrace.pixieset.com/booking/christmas-minis-michigan-location-copy

After booking, I’ll send your Venmo payment request for either the $25 deposit or the full $75, depending on which option you select.
Please note: The current example image is AI-generated and is being used only as a visual mock-up of the planned setup. Once the model session is complete, I’ll update the post with real images from the finished set.

I wanted to open these early so families have plenty of time to plan ahead for Christmas.

Spots will be limited, so grab yours early if you know you want one.

An oldie but a goodie… even though it’s really not that old. ❤️

Tierney may not be cheering this year, but that doesn’t mean this image doesn’t still have my heart. I’m actually really proud of her for choosing to step back and focus more on her academics and her grades this year.

But when you have an image you love this much and you’re working on new banner designs, sometimes you just have to put it to good use. 😍

I’m so excited to see how this one turns out in print! I can’t wait to have it on display along with all the other products Rafferty & Grace Sportraits offers.

You’ll be able to see everything in person at our next Picture Day. ⚡

PATRIOT PARENTS! I need opinions!

I’ve been playing around with a new design and I need to know…

Does this one get added to the roster?! 👀

The sports ball is interchangeable, so it can be customized for different sports.

Yay or nay? Are we keeping it?!

And don’t forget, we’re still looking for a few high school athletes for our upcoming Sportraits model sessions! Football, cheer, hockey/figure skating are on my wish list. Models receive 2 free digital images and must be willing to sign a model release.
