I invite those who step foot in front of my lens to feel at ease and take a deep exhale- trusting that the most beautiful things come as they are and are not forced.

Your story. Sometimes it’s not perfect. But it’s yours and I would be honored to tell it. Whatever season that you’re in, I’d love to document it. I’ll be there to give you grace, direction, laughs and memorable moments in your history to look back on forever.
I do things a bit differently,
my approach is much more about your connection, your heart— letting your true personality show through.
It’s about a feeling rather than posed, forced photographs. I go beyond that and figure out what you love about one another, the way you have grown as a family, and the bond that you share. It’s a wild ride— I want to slow it down for a little while and allow time to stand still so you can remember what it feels like.

YOUR PEOPLE

"Having Rachel photograph my husband and I over the years has been such a treasure. She’s more than a photographer who takes photos. She becomes a genuine friend who you adopt into your family and she grows with you capturing the big moments: engaged, married, and babies.We’ve hired other photographers in the past, but I was impressed with how easily Rachel communicated her vision. It made Josh and I feel confident with each pose. She is truly gifted at capturing each of her client’s stories with such authenticity.
These memorable moments are once in a lifetime. Thank you for documenting the joy and anticipation we had on the arrival of our baby girl. This is something I’ll cherish for years to come! We love you!”
-MEARA + JOSH

"Rachel is more than an incredibly talented photographer - she takes on the role of friend, stylist, DJ, hype woman, and and memory maker. She turns the sometimes intimidating experience of family photos into something even my husband enjoys!! As someone who typically feels awkward in front of the camera, I mean it when I say it’s actually FUN and empowering to work with Rachel, from start to finish! And the end result is the cherry on top: beautiful photos that capture the best version of yourself. It brings so much joy to look back at the chapters Rachel has photographed." - ALI KELLY
