Welcome to Rachel Carey’s Photography Blog – my collection of travel, portrait and formal photography. I currently live in Chiang Rai, Thailand with my husband and pup, so much of my content is based on our life here. To learn about what I do full time with The SOLD Project, please visit our website here or read more below…
Enjoy!
I grew up all over the bay area, hopping between a ranch, a once-haunted-house, and a gated community. My parents liked to balance our suburbia life with outings in the jungles of Belize with SURVIVOR style adventures where we slept with bugs, woke up to howler monkeys, showered in the river, and became fanatic environmentalists.
College took me to Westmont in Santa Barbara where I pursued my BA in Business/Economics, galloped around Australia and New Zealand studying art, found my passion for photography, and dedicated my life to following Christ as I prayed for a deeper understanding of love. That prayer took me to Fuller Seminary where I received my Masters in CrossCultural Studies with my concentration in Children at Risk.
In 2008 I came on board with The SOLD Project as their executive director, and in 2010 I moved to Chiang Rai, Thailand to develop our ground work, The FREEDOM Project.
I run my photography business, Rachel Carey Photography, on the side. My camera is always with me: from weddings to portraits to the rice patties of Thailand.
Okay… so I just happened upon your blog when I was preparing a presentation about human trafficking for my church’s college group tomorrow night. I saw the photo of the hands… and it captured my attention… which led me to the blog, and I have been pleasantly distracted for a few minutes now reading about all you have done, your heart for kids at risk, and the rest. Our passions are very similar, and I’d love to talk to you while I’m in the States. I’m actually in Paradise, CA right now, one of my home towns, speaking and fund raising for this coming year. I am a full-time missionary with YWAM and have been for the last 13 years. Anyway – more later, but I just felt compelled to write to you and get a connection going! Plus – you love coffee, so good grief! Why NOT get to know each other?!!
Looking forward to hearing from you!
