Hannah Graham-de Vries

Oh my glob I totally missed this one! Just watched it and more of thiz plz 🙌🏻✨

Erika Beat

Loved the process - - including your insight into editing the photos. That is a fun extra!

JoJo Smith

Love the pages sticky taped to the wall! I have also used this decoration technique 💖💖💖

Bernise

The suit is sooo good! Love the behind the scenes :)

Ello Asty

This was an awesome shoot! I appreciated the peek into your editing process.

Sylvia Lesak

So fun, I love seeing your process. Also, that outfit was awesome 😎

Clara-Amalie Vorre-Grøntved

Love seeing your process. Thanks for bringing us along ❤️

Aimée Town

Love a process video. And love finger waves! ✨🌙✨

pauli.in.existing

I've found this video. I do believe this is how the wavecurlclip thingies will work properly. https://youtube.com/shorts/Uvs13jpvA4U?feature=share

Bess

I love this video! I lol'd at the "I wanna hold your beans", and to answer your question "Do you ever just..." yes, all the time, one of my cats is very obliging, the other one rejects me 🤣 hope you enjoyed the Moulin Rouge! Show!

Amber Fischer

The Binx cameo was 🤌🤌. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who force snuggles their feline. I remind my gal when it's happening (because her face does the same thing as Binx's) that forced snuggles are the best snuggles.

Chloé

loved this video! it's so cool to see your process and see extra photos. The level of talent is amazing!!

Dixie Crowe

Awesomeness! I finally had a few minutes to myself to do whatever I wanted. Loved it. Also neat to see how you use light room. I love it for watermarks but I didn’t realize there were packs with presets. So I’m inspired to do more with it. I’m usually a photoshop gal.

Fran H (Siigii)

It's great getting a little insight into your editing - I always thing I'm really messy editing my photoshoots of my work lol it gets there in the end but heck does it take ages lol

Fran H (Siigii)

hope your neck is improving, mine misbehaves more often than not - you've got my full sympathy!!

Sabrina Renner

I definitely hold my cats paw all the time.. I like to believe he loves it :P

Tyne Swedish

Ashley Lucero

Loved loved loved!!! More of these for sure and some outfit videos because you have the BEST style ever 🎉🎉

Erin

I LOVE THIS - It's giving "if Satine were in Christian's world" fan fiction that we didn't know we needed

Jena Fierro

you are not dyeing, pain just is a thing now, welcome to your 30's. Ibuprofen has entered the chat. Loved this video, thanks for sharing a new hair journey and a photo editing education.

Stephanie Dumbrill

This was just what I needed! Thank you for sharing.

Jemimah Brewster

This was really interesting to learn about - I'm upskilling in Adobe apps at work so it's cool to see some of the functions in Lightroom that I haven't played with yet 😊 Also Moulin Rouge is the amazingest movie and I rewatched it last week and cried so hard, so I can only imagine the Broadway show is even more spectacular!

Shannen Brouner

Love this and thank you for sharing some edit process! I'm feeling inspired lately to do more solo photo shoots myself and this is just what I needed to see ♡ also I'm sorry that I haven't seen Moulin Rouge yet but I'm having lots of movie nights lately and it's on my list!

MahikanKwe

Love love this ❤️‍🔥

Jennifer Kerrigan

Anyone else hoping that Rachel has been watching Daisy Jones and the Six and being inspired by the stunning 70s fashion? ❤️

Priscilla Organtini

Just watched today's video, and definitely going to watch Muppet Treasure Island tonight!

Greta Katkeviciene

Rachel could just upload a video of her drinking coffee and reading a chapter of a novel and I would watch that. Lovely video

Diana✨

-watching this with a wrist i somehow tweaked in my sleep- Yeah no i get that 🤣🤣

Sam

Love getting a little glimpse behind the scenes... how the sausage is made if you will...would definitely be down to see more of that kinds of stuff fo sho! Also, more moulin rouge stuff is gooooood tooo!

Vanessa King

I love this! Are they all just on Instagram? I guess since I uninstalled ig for the same reason as Kim, I will just love seeing the pictures here! Thank you again for sharing!

Kim Wheeler

I really loved this idea, especially as I uninstalled Instagram to stop endless scrolling, so it's lovely to be able to see these cool shoots behind the scenes here!!

Alison

really loved this, you got the look and the mood exactly right. awesome!!

Jay

I'm loving all of the different kinds of videos and content you're sharing with us Rachel!! I look forward to whatever whimsy you put out next :D

Purrabelle

Loved this video! And also I would LOVE to see a video about how you go about altering and tailoring a suit....

The Vintage Queen of Everything

Loved this video. It was great to see your process

pagehaunter

This was fun!

Indigo Hudepohl

looooove this!!! thank you for the bts secrets 😍

Jenni Banks

I would love a video on how you pose. Do you have any modelling experience? Your poses always seem very natural but very elegant and aesthetic.

Morgan Milton

Yes! Love seeing the behind the scenes!

Holly Neal

I would love to see a little more in depth tutorial of how you do photoshop. I know it's a tool that can take years to master, but even seeing a little bit more of your thoughts and skill would be really interesting!

Kaitlyn Von Hausen

I adored watching how this all came together! I would love more videos like this in future. Thank you!

Carol B

The vibes of this whole shoot were 👌 impeccable. And typewriters are glorious. I have three and once wrote a history paper on one of them because my silly computer died.

Britney

this suit is 🔥 🥵

Kevin Proto

Definitely enjoyed this video! It was neat to see your process!

Janet Daniels

Enjoy the show! I though it was spectacular, spectacular! I also really enjoyed this video!

Ella Miss

Yes! I enjoyed this! Thank you!

Elizabeth Zoanetti

Holly Machado

Super cute! Hope you have a great time in NYC!

Vivi

Loved the Binx moment and yes pleease for this type of content 🤩🤩

Victoria Fair

Moulin Rouge AND a Binx cameo!?! Best Saturday morning ever ❤️❤️❤️

Rachel Ladrigan

Love this kind of video! MORE PLEASE! Moulin Rouge is one of my favorites! Thank you for the Saturday morning serotonin.

Amanda Meehan

I love these kinds of videos!!! Thanks for making this!

Anna Wilson

I'm both a traditional and digital artist and I also edit photos for work... I've always just done all my editing in photoshop since I know it so well (even taught a college course) I've never touched lightroom and now I'm thinking I'm an idiot. LOL I think it's time to futz. Thank Rachel and fun video! :)

GingerGeege

Guh, the joys of growing older—achy joints and mystery injuries. Gotta love it! 😜 Great job on the look! 10/10

Janet O'Brien

Tell us how the show was!

Aoife Fealy

I remember my friend tried to do finger waves in my hair for a cocktail party I hosted years ago and they just would not stay!! and I have short hair! 🙈🙈

Alexandra Aaron

Yes. Yes I (not "ever just") Transform My Sweet Kitty's beans into Murder Mittens on the Regular (which She, in turn Uses Appropriatly just Sporadically enough that I Don't learn my lesson 😆)...

Kate Y

This was great! Enjoy the show!! :)

Ainsley Mayersky

This was so fun to watch! Thank you for showing us 🥰 I hope your neck and hand are feeling better Also love that we were blessed with some wholesome bean content 🐾

Meredith Trapani

Yesss this was so much fun!!

Rosie Cossentino

We have been blessed by Binx! Also love this format. It’s cool to get a peak behind the curtain. And that suit is *chef kiss*

Yvette Muñoz

Loved it! And the mini tutorial mixed in was perfect!

Camryn Martin

Loved this format! Always enjoy when you share your thought process/creative process. Keep doing what makes you happy Rachel, we're along for the ride :)

BeccaPeppermintz

Oh my god yes. Mouse Knight party pack with multiple outfit options 😄😄

BeccaPeppermintz

Right?? Like if you ever want to invigorate your own creativity, Rachel’s videos just instantly inspire 🥰

BeccaPeppermintz

Yesssss. Love the format, love the photos (love the kitty baby appearance we were gifted with 🥹)! Also your suit is 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 and I must know where you got those wanderlust travel pack presets cause the end results were delicious

Stacy Robnett

Loved!!

Veronica Rosso

Let us know if you ever figure out a good way to use those clips. Although I don't think it turned out too bad

Susana Esteves

Love this!

Kate W

I know you've been struggling with liking your haircut, but I honestly think it's so cute. It frames your face so nicely! Also the photos came out gorgeous.

Reegan Altomare Fahy

Always fascinating to see an artist at work! You really do have an amazing eye and sense of creativity. It's a gift! Thanks for sharing <3

Beth k

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Karli Sexton

More videos like this please :) you inspired me to get out lightroom again and futz around with some old photos!

Molly Tuma

This was so fun to watch!

Elizabeth Garza

Seeing how you use lightroom was SOO cool and helpful :) also, doing me an inspire with the photoshoots you do! Thank you for this great content!

Barbara Morrone

Love that suit on you! Video is cool and informative

Jess is Dreaming

You can save your futzes as a preset instead of copying and pasting it! This will probably save you a little time and you can start to build up your collection of personalized presets and name them fun things. I’m pretty positive folks here would love to download some from you if you ever wanted to share. 💕

Tim Chuma

Almost the same as my own process for editing. I go through with Infranview and then only edit if the photo is too dark or not cropped well. I take a lot of live music & performance photos so have less of a say over a lot of it.

Katarina Tagesson

Yay, loved this type of video!

Story

Ooooo I LOVED the photo editing bit of this especially! I'm sort of the go-to photographer for my friends and I'm always wondering how to get a more editorial finished look for photos!

Vanessa Bender

Love it! I’d definitely vote for more videos like this 💛

Mama Turtle

💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤

J.J. Springer

I’ve always wondered how much time and planning goes into these shoots, so it’s nice to see a behind the scenes video. I just don’t understand how she puts out SO much content. Between YouTube, all of the photo shoots on Instagram, and now a Patreon channel how does she have time to do anything else? Everything is such high quality and fun, it’s crazy impressive.

Larissa

Me LIKE. more videos like this 🥰🍂

Amber Rhodes

I love the contents you are providing to Patreons!

calamitoustales

I always want to smush the beans.

Mallory Ann Shannon

This was delightful!! Love the behind the scenes vids. I’m so excited for you, Moulin Rouge has had such a chokehold on me for so long. Enjoy!

Alexandra Blackburn

I love Moulin Rouge! Now you should do a Satine photo shoot! AND a green fairy photo shoot! Ahhhhhh yaaaaasssss

Jordan

Agreed! I always love BTS footage of films and shows, and love learning about how things work/what goes into making things! So seeing more of Rachel's process is always so interesting to me!

Julia Murphy

I saw it when it started at the colonial in Boston. (Possibly opening night cause on actual opening night the roof started to fall in and they cancelled it??) Its an absolutely beautiful set and a super fun show, very much in the vein of the movie. You're gonna love it!

Lee

Ok so I don’t know if Nick objects to being a part of photo shoots but I think it would be amazing if you two did a Beat Poets photo shoot together.

ofmisadventure

Love seeing the process and what goes on behind the scenes of your photoshoots/videos! Would love to see more! <3

Darla Sparrow

Always happy with whatever content you feel to throw at us. But did really enjoy this!

Dazed Bat Artistry

Love that you went out on a limb and made something you wanted to happen actually happen. There is something really moving about listening to beautifully sing music that makes me teary eyes too.

littlegoblingirl

bootiful 👌

Jordan

You know what, ugly crying at your first Broadway show is SO VALID! As of yet, I have only seen one show on Broadway (She Loves Me - which i quite literally ran off to see at the absolute last minute, basically not sleeping for 24 hours to take a bus all night to get there and go straight to the show the straight home after nearly getting myself stuck in NYC alone and with no money after missing my bus home lol, but that's another story) and let me tell you, I am not a crier. I hate crying. I don't mind others crying (though I am awkward and don't know how to react), but I hate crying myself and dear god not in public. But the SECOND that that overture started, I absolutely burst into full on tears! (And in the process actually completely freaked out the man sitting next to me lmao) So long story short, bursting into full-on, ugly-crying tears is a completely valid response (to Broadway or Moulin Rouge, let alone both)!

Killedbyrabbits

I'd love to see more like this! I like the suit a lot and it was fun to see the photo taking and editing process. Even though the waves weren't perfect I think they turned out great with the whole look! Those hair clips are wild.

Sandra (Sazmotaz)

So happy kitty made an appearance. Hope you cry lots of happy tears.

Kayla W

Loved this! Would definitely like to see more like it. Have fun ugly crying at the show!

T Rabbit

Yes, yes. Not as familiar with Moulin aesthetic (sorry) but thought it hit a few peaky blinders themes! Either way. Love. Also, because you have so much extra time, the Mouse Knight should change costumes to match you. Obviously.

Matilda G.

Toe beans are the best! Great video, fun and helpful.

Meghan Callahan

I love the photo shoot - great images! ♥️ Would the hair style be easier with alligator clips? I think it might make the organized curls easier.

Viola

Very nice!

Sarah

My favorite is to poke the toe beans--one of my cats will often respond by flexing his paw and then "holding" my finger.

Calypso Joyer

Hello, I am totally new here ! It's really nice to be part of this little patreon group! The pictures are freaking amazing, the scene of the photoshoot is gorgeous, love the way you framed/croped the photos ! Thank you for this behind the scene video, I really hope you'll enjoy the show ! Lots of love

A.M. McPherson

Oh my gosh, yes! I totally called it when I saw your IG story that it was something Moulin Rouge inspired!! Enjoy the show!! I'm so jelly!! I love Moulin Rouge SO freakin much! Satine cosplay soon?

Michelle Crocker

Love whatever you give us. So happy to be able to support you

Holly Neal

Loved this!!

Lady Epi

Who you kidding? we know you're gonna cry. its gonna be glorious.

Katherine

The suit looks amazing! Love the video 😍

CecilSharkShork

I hold the beans of my elderly (18) cat who at this point just tolerates my bs.

Jackie Reuter

Rachel: "do you ever just-" *holds beans* Me: *currently holding beans of cat that is not that into it* "YES" always hold the beans

Rox

Your outfit is amazing and it's really nice to get to see this part of your work ! Hope you'll have fun, just remember to stuff your pockets with tissues 😆

Julie Mendez

I very much enjoy these videos, I appreciate that you are honest with the "futz around and find out" because too often we talk ourselves out of trying anything new because it looks hard. Seeing someone else continue to learn as they go is so encouraging. Also, was that a Gilmore robe I spotted? Is Rachel a critter too? :-)

Faith Meiko

I’m so excited for you to see the show. I saw it three times on tour in LA and I could literally go a dozen more times. It’s such a fun show and you’re going to have like 8 million questions about the costumes because holy cow! You’re going to end up with so many cosplay ideas. Have fun!!! 💕

Haley Gortzig

The struggle of waterproofing your eyebrows. I understand too well. I’d like to have facial features near water as well

Ally

Aweee can’t believe I asked for a how you edit pictures video on insta the other week and there it is 🥲 I mean I’m sure plenty of people have also requested it but just makes you feel part of the community. This was lovely Rachel! I hope you enjoyed the show ♥️♥️♥️

Sirena Evans

Oh, my dear friend. I just want to reach through my computer and help you so badly I know how to do this.

Kenzie Anne

the hair meets the 10-foot rule... it looks great beyond 10 feet! Seriously though, you look fantastic without the filters and such, but I also appreciate the final photos as artistic representations of you. Does that make sense? It's been a long week ~Kenzie in Cali

Bizbot

Hold the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeans! 😻

Melanie Smith

My little sister is working on Moulin Rouge for Broadway! Have so much fun!

Sydney

I hope you have an AMAZING time. Just please keep in mind that the broadway show and the movie are significantly different, and might be hard to understand the changes that they made. the opening set though will hands down be one of the most amazing things you’ll EVER see

Kim Shelton

I love it, and I'm so excited for you! More videos like this pleeeease

Veronica McCubbin

I feel like you could post literally anything and we would rally 🤣 I'm so excited for you to see Aaron Tiveit 😍 kinda jealous too

Jasmine C

Very much enjoyed this type of video and seeing how you set props up, edit, and of course get ready. Can't wait to see more.

Mette Fisker

I like ❤😍🤗

B Wolfy

You have no idea how happy this made me. Moulin rouge is one of my favourite movie. It is always the one I go to when I can't sleep.

Sarah Roop-Rosales

So fun! I myself have never been to a show on broadway but I did see one on the west end does that count? Love these videos keep more coming.

Ailish

This was so much fun! I have one of those hairclips that belonged to my great-grandmother, it's a lovely thing to have.

Rachael field

I just saw that show on Broadway last weekend! It was so good glad you got to watch it as well. It threw me for so many loops, and I loved it.

Dicy Adams

So cute!! Thanks for sharing! Have fun going to Broadway!!!

Carrie

LOVE this, LOVE you! Happy Thursday! 🤎

Dave & Kim Tew

great stuff - ugly crying or no ...enjoy the show 💛🌹🐱‍👓💃🏻

Vanessa Ward

I saw Moulin Rouge in February and ugly cried the whole time! It’s incredible!

John Boudewijn

Beans, musicals, and Lighroom... wow, this video just straight up focused on some of my favourite things! Thank you! By the way, the Lighroom mobile app is also REALLY good to just perk up quick spontaneous snaps without much effort. I'd encourage anyone who happens to have an Adobe license anyway to give it a go.

Kimberly Harries

Loved watching the behind the scenes 🥰. Would definitely like to see these on the reg. Have fun at the show!!!!! So exciting 🥳

Leigh

I love to see a wild Binks! I hope you have an excellent time at the show! I also fully support your editing technique of "futz around and find out". That's how I figure out how to anything too!

Bobbi Pins

First show ever!?! So exciting!! 😍 also, can we talk Costa Rica cuzzzz I went a couple years ago and washed away brows were definitely in my top 5 concerns. I used Wunderbrow and it held up really well!!

Kat Harness

We love

Melissa Joy

If you have time for a 2nd show, go see Hadestown. And, if you want to meet up, let me know. I'd give you a tour at abn, but we still can't have folx backstage

Melissa Joy

I work around the corner at a beautiful noise. While you're in the area, go to bird and branch for coffee. It's down the block from moulin Rouge. Turkish delight on 9th Ave is delicious. @9 seems to be my go to for Thai. Il forno on 8th has delicious Italian (and a vegan meatball option)

Stephanie

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Jilliann Ocasio

So excited for you!!! Definitely need to try the clips again but on wet and gelled hair. 🧡💚

LM

This was a lot of fun! It’s cool to see a bit of your process, even though I don’t do insta. Also, the outfit is absolute fire *chef’s kiss*

Derek

Neat. Enjoy the show! I haven't been to see a show since - before the plague. Before the dark times. Before the Empire.

Carey

My grandma used to use those clips in her hair and she’d hairspray it after she took them out.

Alessandra Ragusa

Love the behind the scenes!! Moulin Rouge is great on Broadway, I love the changes from the movie too

Mary McIntyre

"I wanna hold your beans" OMG! One of my cats looks so much like Binks (sorry if that is not the correct spelling!) and she regularly just puts her toe beans into my hand like that. It's honestly so precious. Loved the video and it was fun seeing a behind the scenes of a photoshoot :) Hope you love the show!

pennroco aka MsAmber

I loved seeing the behind the scenes! So fun!

Avalon Divine

Whenever I or my partner hold our cat's hand we say "good business" like 1920's company owners. Thought I'd share. 😂

Tory

So cute, would love to see more videos like this. For the finger waves, all your missing is the s shaped curves that connect the ridges where you put the clips. I learned to do them in hair school on wet hair with lots of gel and a comb before setting with clips and letting dry. You can brush them out once dry for a more soft look. Their is tons of ways to do them online, but try the wet and comb method, I always found them fun to do as it’s kind of sculptural.

Jenna Buchanan

“Love you! Byyeee!” I love this 😂🥰

Annie von Holt

I saw the Chicago Filter when you klicken through all the filters for the first time and I was like "uh, that's pretty!" I see, our aesthetics match 😂😍

Jennifer

Definitely here for the creative process. It felt almost like a coworking as I drew. With fun Parisian background music

Scorpio Amber

Ooo I really love seeing the process of setting up the shoot and how you move through poses. I'd be interested in learning more about how you approach posing. It always feels super awkward to me but you ended up with so many good ones to choose from!

Jo Bauer (Sewing Nerd Studios)

I hope you have an AMAZING time!! I've been contemplating going to that one, especially while Aaron Tveit is back. (I've only been to a Broadway show once, for Hedwig and the Angry Inch).

Heidi

That was fun- Thanks!

Beth

This is so fun!!

Melissa

Definitely would like to see more videos like this! J'adore!

Amber Monsterrific

April O'Neil vibes after the curlers came out!

Edith

Moulin Rouge is on my list of things to see on West End! Glad you enjoyed it 😌

Madi B. (Martin)

Absolutely love seeing your photoshoot process!

Rebekah Anderson

I thoroughly enjoyed this peek behind the scenes! Thankies!

Jules Hansen

The ✨aesthetic✨ 😍

Mara Luthien

perfect timing I was just watching your videos!!

Sarah Paquette

30s truly be like "i hurt myself sleeping, am i dying"

Hal Forbess

Ohh I love it

HunterScottyboi

Amazing like always 💝

Nadia Meyer

Love it! :)

Rachel Halbert

Truly amazing

Kristin Earnest

Rachel you are going to fall in LOVE with Aaron Tveit (if you haven’t already lol)

Margie

the VOLUME in which i GASPED

Whiskersomalley

That was a really cool video to get to see more of the behind the scenes. Yes you will cry, I have seen it twice and it was everything I wanted it to be
