As your photographer, my hope is that you walk away not just with stunning photos, but with an experience that transcends our time together, preserving the way your motherhood or family journey really makes you feel when you reminisce on each stage you've been through.
SLOW DOWN & SAVOR, WE'RE NOT IN A HURRY.
The way two people's fingers lace together at the bottom of the frame. The dimples on the cheeks of your giggling toddler. The glimmer in the eyes of mom & dad as they hold their new baby in their arms. I'm here for all of it.
Composing what we see happening in front of us into the frame of a camera is one thing, but capturing that feeling - you know, that feeling that keeps you coming back to look at your photos again and again - is a whole other thing. I want you to hold on tight to these moments turned memories turned photos - shoot, I want you to hang them on your walls - because one day you'll see before your very eyes just how much time has passed but how the warmth of that moment, it's been lingering forever.
I guess what I'm saying is, I'm here to capture all of those little details so that you can simply live and just be in the moment; savoring the connection, drinking in the experience. Because that’s right where you should be.
It's the little things that I love about documenting families...
LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE EXPERIENCE.
I want you to remember the feeling of chubby, dimpled fingers interlaced in yours, and the look in your husband’s eyes as he stares at the vibrant, little life you’ve both created. I want you to see your beautiful self and your uniquely refining journey of motherhood, preserved forever. I want you to remember just how far you’ve come.
When you work with me, you can expect intentionality and authenticity. At every stage of working with me, I intentionally explore with you what it looks like to craft a session that feels authentic to you and your family.
I love investigating what you and your family specifically love to do together, what unique family rhythms you share, and how you each give and receive love to and from one another.
These details are what make your session and experience family-honoring and life-giving.
INTENTIONALITY &
AUTHENTICITY
"[Rachel] was SO flexible with our family, especially with our newborn and toddler. [Our toddler] wasn't having it most of the session, yet she caught the most beautiful, authentic, memorable and real moments of our daily life. I was nervous I would feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, but her calm and confident presence made us feel so at peace."
"She caught the most beautiful, authentic, memorable & real moments..."
"Rachel was SUCH a joy to work with...[she] helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, let our family be authentic and silly, and didn't pressure our kids into being anything but themselves. She was warm, inviting, and friendly...we will use her again and again!"
"[She] let our family be authentic & silly..."
"As soon as I saw Rachel’s work I knew I needed her for our newborn photos. Her shooting style is so natural and elegant and I am proud to have almost my entire gallery hanging up in my home. If you’re looking for authentic, relaxed, and beautiful images she’s your girl!!!"
"Her shooting style is so natural..."
"It was everything I could’ve dreamed of and more. From sweet conversation & instant connection to the incredibly beautiful gallery we received with photos that speak to the true nature of our family and what a day in our life often looks like. The little things are the big things and Rach did an incredible job capturing all the details, the ones I would probably forget but don’t want to forget."
"Photos that speak to the true nature
of our family..."
