Photos are a way to feel how things felt in the moment..
INQUIRE HERE

Photos allow us to slow down and remember. They tell us, “I was here. I lived. I loved.” 

And when it comes down to it, that’s what we all want, isn’t it? To live fully. To love deeply. And to celebrate the miracle of our lives and the people in them. 

They’re memories. Keepsakes. Heirlooms. Proof of the life you’ve lived and the joy you’ve experienced. They hold the most important moments in your life.  

JUST PHOTOS

Photos are never

Let's document your memories

And I would love to celebrate with you, documenting these milestones in a tangible way so that years from now you can remember this moment and smile. 

From graduating high school to marrying the love of your life to welcoming a child into the world, these are the marks we use to measure our lives. We don’t measure in success or failure, but in the hours we have lived and the people we have loved. And each of these things, no matter how big or small, is worth celebrating.

From my very first phone call with Rachel, I knew I wanted her to capture my wedding day. Everything was so seamless and professional. The photos are absolutely stunning, capturing every special moment and detail, from the ceremony to fun candid moments throughout the day. I highly recommend Rachel if you’re looking for someone attentive to detail, relaxed, and an overall joy to work with. Thank you for capturing our wedding day so perfectly!

SHE MADE ME FEEL SO CALM, RELAXED, AND VALUED ON THE DAY OF MY WEDDING, ENSURING EVERYTHING WENT AS SMOOTHLY AS POSSIBLE.

I can't wait to tell your story!

get to know me

Since I was in junior high, I have carried a small digital camera with me, photographing friends, family, and any beautiful thing that caught my eye. Now, I get to do that for the wonderful people who entrust me with their memories. 

I’m a wife, boy mom, and semi-professional dog walker (we have four, and they take up more space on the bed than we do). I’ve come to learn that chaos is a part of life, and the messy parts are the most beautiful. 

Okay, maybe that’s a small exaggeration. But I do have a camera tattooed on my arm, so that counts for something, right?

and I might as well have a camera glued to my hand. 

hi, i'm rachel!

With love, Rachel
