Ohana Wellness | BlueFlair Preferred Family Vendor
We’ve enjoyed getting to know Rachel, the lovely lady behind Ohana Wellness, a business dedicated to helping parents build a harmonious relationship with their child – right from the start! Rachel is an expert in her field, yet relaxed and easy to talk to. If you have a newborn that has difficulty sleeping, or is fussy, Rachel can teach soothing techniques, infant massage, and other methods to help calm baby and parent!
Here’s a little more about Rachel and Ohana:
“Rachel Rainbolt, a mother of two with eleven years of experience working with young children and parents has a Master’s Degree in Family Therapy, is featured as a Parenting Expert on KUSI’s “Inside San Diego,” is a Freelance Published Author and Parent Educator of classes in Infant Massage, Baby Sign Language, and Babywearing. She works passionately to nurture the loving bond between parent and baby to foster happy, healthy families through her business, Ohana Wellness.
At Ohana Wellness our mission is to enhance the well-being of families, ohanas. We promote health, happiness and growth while fostering attachment between parent and baby. We offer classes in Infant Massage, Soothing Slumber, Troubled Tummies, Babywearing, and Baby Sign Language, an informative newsletter, a comprehensive resource list, and a complete line of helpful products. It is our honor to touch your lives, making the transition of birth a harmonious one, easing your job as a parent, and contributing to the formation of a beautiful bond that will last a lifetime.”
And here’s what one of her client’s has to say:
“I would highly recommend this class to new moms and dads. My husband and I really enjoyed the class and were disappointed when it ended. When my daughter got constipated after the classes ended I knew how to make her feel better and the same thing was true when she got a cold. It’s nice and comforting to know how to make your child feel better. Massage is not a part of our bedtime routine. Since massaging in the evening, Reagan sleeps more soundly and longer too! I’d suggest taking the class early so you can take advantage of the colic and calming routines. An awesome experience!”
In harmony with your baby?

Well, he’s here! This little guy made his entrance, and is already a star. He was so little and “squishy” it was hard not to just gobble him up! Enjoy!

All in the Family | San Diego Family Photographer
Lovely family! Getting a big group of people together, happy, looking the same direction, being coordinated – not the easiest task. But this family did a great job. The grandkids were so darn cute and even had matching hats for some of the kids’ pictures.
With summer just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking of those family portraits before the holiday rush – hint, hint!

Momma Blue Eyes | San Diego Maternity Photography
Ok – this mom is just too darn cute! Nothing but belly and blue eyes! This session was particularly fun because we did the session in the home – the hardwood floors were beautiful, and natural light from the windows – good stuff! Throw in a cute puppy that’s not quite sure what’s in “the package” and it was a great time. Plus, we got a sneak peek at the baby’s room, and we can’t WAIT to photograph the newborn session at home, too! Stay tuned, we’ll be posting the newborn session shortly . . .

We just love this little guy, and this Busy Bee session is just so fun, with the smiles and giggles! He’s looking so much like daddy, and it always amazes Nikkie and myself just how much they change between the newborn session and the 4 month session.
Is that a great smile, or what?
Just one of those sweet moments!
Blue eyes, and chunky thighs! You can’t help but want to squeeze him!

Pigtails & Fuzzyboots | San Diego Child Photographer

Home for the Holidays | San Diego Family Photographer
When the kids come home for the holidays, it’s the perfect time to update that family portrait. The relationships are just as important, and it’s always great to document throughout the years. Brother and sister have a playing, razzing nature, and we were able to capture that, which was fun.

Sweet Bump | San Diego Maternity Photographer
We enjoyed meeting this cute couple. Mom was just a natural in front of the camera, and had deep brown eyes that just “ate” the lens, and I love the fun interaction between them! These two like a more artistic flair, so we included a few moody black and whites as well.
At BlueFlair, your maternity session is now complimentary with the purchase of a newborn session. Our albums that tell the story, “from belly to baby” are a must see, and a wonderful gift to pass down to your child and grandchildren.

Shiny Happy People | San Diego Family Photographer
It was great to work with a fellow photographer who is just the sweetest person, with a wonderful family to match! They are so warm and friendly, and that really comes across in their portraits. This first one was my absolute favorite from the session that Nikkie captured, and the image on the front of their holiday card. Well chosen!
Formal and Fab! | San Diego Child Photographer
These girls came in with their gorgeous Christmas dresses, and we did some formal portraits in the studio. However, because kids are kids, we wanted them to be a little playful and show their personality. I just love the sparkle in big sister’s eyes, and little sis is so cute with those adorable curls!

Introducing Apollo | San Diego Newborn Photographer
With the holiday rush, we’ve fallen waaaay behind on the blogging. But with so many adorable babies, bellies, and families, we just have to get some of these posted!
So without further ado, we’d like to introduce you to little Apollo. He was so anxious to meet the world he came a few weeks early! Such a little guy who was sooo sweet and “curly”!
Enchanted Forest | San Diego Child Photographers
Well, it wasn’t exactly a forest, but these two adorable girls were like modern fairies in their gorgeous holiday dresses, with the backdrop of massive tree roots in Balboa Park. Balboa Park has so many different looks and feels, that it’s always fun to photograph there. And these girls were just beautiful and a pleasure to work with! Enjoy the sneak peeks!

Foggy Family Fun | San Diego Child & Family Photographers
We wrapped up Miss Madi’s Busy Bee session with a combo family session at the Oceanside Pier. We were caught off guard that the fog had rolled in sooo thick when we got there. But it turned out beautiful – a little mysterious, and simply cool!

Electric Blue | San Diego Child & Family Photographers
Well, we first met this little darling when she turned one. I remember mom walking up, and then pulling back the top on the stroller, and this cute little toddler with electric blue eyes looked up at me – - – and I felt like I’d just won a jackpot! It always comes down to the eyes. After all, they are the windows to the soul, and this little girl had amazing eyes. So now it’s 2 years later, and she is just as cute as ever, and still rockin’ her baby blues!
Such a cute outfit, and I had to get the shoes, too!

Double the Fun | San Diego Child and Family Photographers
How cute are these girls, especially kicking back with their cowboy boots!
Such a sweet family – you can tell they have a lot of love!
The girls were cracking each other up. In the next shot, they were sticking their tongues out!
Baby Love | San Diego Child & Family Photographers
This is one little girl who is adored by her parents! We had part one of this family session at Balboa Park – always a great place to capture special moments with families. How cute is she with her hair bow and that outfit!
We did a second part to this session, just to focus on baby! She was in a great mood and gave us lots of big smiles. In the few days between this split session, she was more able to stand on her own, and oh-so-proud of herself!
Momma’s Sugar | San Diego Baby Photographers
Just look at this adorable little one! Her mom calls her “sugar”, which is easy to understand, because how sweet is this?! She was so observant and interested in us, and is SUCH a good little baby!
Even when we brought her out to the water’s edge and put her in the tub, she handled it like a champ! Enjoy just a few of our favorites!

Little Strapper! | San Diego Baby Photographers
Well, this little guy was 4 months, but he’s a little strapper, and SO strong! And with so much personality. We start our Busy Bees (our Baby Club program) around 4 months when they start to push themselves up. This baby not only could push himself up, he could even sit on his own! Impressive to say the least. We’ll have to be a little extra creative for his next session!
Here are a couple favorites so far . . .
