Nebraska Photographer

for genuine emotion & authentic joy

Seriously, I will find any and every excuse to celebrate. That’s why I love being a lifestyle photographer! I don’t only celebrate my own milestones, but I also get to celebrate them with people all over the country. Graduating Seniors? I will hype you up. Getting married? I’ll cry my own happy tears while capturing yours. Maternity? Newborn? Family? There is nothing better than celebrating those who change and shape our lives with their little hands.

Life is a special occasion

Reach out!

I’ve been a lifestyle photographer for six years now, and I still pinch myself every time someone inquires and trusts me with their memories. I know how important your photos are. I don't even want to admit how frequently I flip through my photo books, reminiscing about my wedding day, or how tiny my son was when he was first born.

If there’s anything I’ve learned in the past few years of owning a business, raising a son, and trying to walk our four dogs while simultaneously pushing a stroller, it’s this: Life is messy. It is chaotic, wild, and unpredictable. And therein lies the beauty.

Things change so fast. And we forget things so easily! But photos hold these feelings for us, keeping them safe so we can revisit the most important moments of our lives again and again.

Embracing the Chaos, One Day at a Time

Hi, i'm Rachel

Every milestone in life is worth celebrating. And every celebration deserves to be remembered. Lifestyle photography allows you to remember every moment without being pulled away from it. With an expert blend of guiding you to create artful poses and stepping back to allow moments to unfold naturally, you get an authentic documentation of your most precious memories.

The Pillars of My Photography

The best photos are the ones where you forgot the camera was even there. Be present with the people you love, and I promise the photos will turn out great. I’m an expert at disappearing into the background and capturing your moments as they unfold in real time.

presence

Standing in front of a camera is awkward. (And I’ll tell you a secret. It’s awkward for everybody.) But when we work together, we’re having fun. We’re laughing, talking, and getting to know each other. You will never have to wonder how to stand or where to look, because I’ll be gently guiding you through the entire process.

comfort

This is what it’s all about. There are so many different kinds of joy, and I want to document them all. The ecstatic “thank God I never have to go back to high school” joy. The tearful “I’ve just watched my daughter marry the love of her life” joy. The “I’m holding my newborn child in my arms and I’m terrified and excited all at the same time” type of joy.
