Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

I never want you to forget how you all smiled and laughed together – where every photo radiates with RAW emotion and memories.

I want those precious snapshots to find their way into frames on your bookshelves or hung on the wall. The biggest honor as a photographer is watching them become heirlooms, passed down in photo boxes or albums that get pulled out during family holidays and gatherings. Experiencing those sweet pauses of nostalgia and reminiscing over all the remember whens with loved ones…

let's capture it together

 

so many moments pass by in the blink of an eye...

Get swept up in every sweet memory again & again

THE FRIEND BEHIND THE LENS DOCUMENTING EVERY LIFE SEASON

Hi, I'm Rachel!

You know that girl in high school and college who always showed up to parties and every occasion under the sun with a camera?

IT’S ME, I’M THAT FRIEND WITH A CAMERA ALWAYS IN HAND

As an adult, my friends say how grateful they are that I documented so much of our lives – and that instinct to document it all has stayed with me ever since. Even now, as a social worker in my 9-5, I’ve remained passionate about showing up to celebrate the moments that matter most.

My photography ensures no memory is lost to time, you can savor every second a little bit longer

get to know more about me

I made a last minute decision to have a photographer at my bridal shower and it was the best thing we did! I had a really small wedding party, and was worried that I wouldn’t have time to get nice pictures with some of my close friends that weren’t bridesmaids at my wedding. I was right – the wedding day was so busy and the weather didn’t exactly cooperate, but now I also have tons of beautiful pictures from my shower that I will get to cherish forever! 

If you are thinking about booking Rachel for your event – DO IT!!

Rachel did an amazing job taking pictures of my family this fall. We have a one year old and an Australian Shepherd, so logistics were a little challenging. Rachel is a true pro and worked with us to get some amazing shots of our family that we will cherish forever. I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for some great pictures!
