Let's start with my senior who had 0 ideas of what to wear , where to go. Rachel came up with a vibe guide, ideas for clothes, and ideas for locations...thank god🥰🥰😁😁
This is my first round of Senior pics and I'm so happy we went with Rachel . She kept it relaxed, fun and helped my daughter with how she wanted to be portrayed.
Rachel also found my phone on the ledge of a parking garage we were shooting in 🙏🙏
I 100% recommend her it was like hanging out with a friend who happens to be an amazing photographer....
I can't wait to see the photos

Working with Rachel was such a seamless and enjoyable experience! She provided multiple date options, making scheduling easy, and once we settled on the perfect location, everything started to come together effortlessly. One of the most helpful aspects of the process was the style guide she created for our team—it gave everyone clear direction while still allowing for individuality, making the shoot feel cohesive yet natural.

On the day of the shoot, Rachel’s approach made all the difference. She created a relaxed, fun atmosphere, and her attention to detail ensured everything felt effortless. Bringing music to the session was such a great touch—it helped loosen up the team and made the whole experience feel more like a fun gathering than a formal photoshoot. The result? Photos that truly capture our personality, creativity, and energy as a team.

We had an absolute blast working with Rachel for our big family photo session! With 11 of us (yes, 11!), she made the whole thing a breeze. This definitely isn’t her first rodeo—she thought of everything and asked all the questions upfront that I wouldn’t have even considered, like dealing with glasses glare. She was super organized, helping us pick out color-coordinated outfits and suggesting awesome indoor and outdoor spots. Plus, she even gave us a handy list of all the different photo combos so we didn’t miss a single shot. The whole experience was fun and easy, and I am so excited to see the photos! If you need someone to handle your big crew, Rachel is your go-to!

We absolutely loved working with Rachel! We had a very small and casual wedding, but still wanted to capture the day with beautiful photos. Rachel was very responsive any time I reached out leading up to our wedding. The day of, she was flexible with the flow of photos (we have a little one who we needed to maximize their happy/awake time!) and was so personable as she wrangled our families and interacted with guests. She nudged my partner and me to be a bit more silly than we typically are and, no surprise, we got some really great photos out of it. We are simply delighted with the quality (and quantity) of photos Rachel delivered – she captured our laid-back, but nonetheless very special, day wonderfully! I would absolutely recommend her!!

Rachel is incredible. We’ve been fortunate enough to have her capture our growing family over the last 4 years. The images she’s managed to capture are just amazing - they’re vibrant and capture our personalities so well. So worth the investment!
