On the surface, photography captures a snapshot of the physical presence of a subject or medium. Take a camera, point and shoot. In theory, it could be called the art of photography. But in reality it isn’t. It is not until the photographer engages with the subject or medium, until he/she adds his/her own perspective, interpretation, angle, and imperfection, until, in turn, others engage and see a piece of themselves in the very same work that it can be called art. This is what I strive to do; to create photographs that are beyond the surface and have deep meaning to both me and my clients. My passion and goal is to capture subtle, sincere, natural photos that show the true essence of my subjects.

I believe that an established relationship between photographer and subject prior to the session translates directly into the photographs. I look forward to getting to know you! After booking, we will begin with a complimentary pre-session personalized consultation via email. We will chat about you, location, styling, and any special requests for a well-prepared session. At the session, we’ll have plenty of time for all involved to settle in. It is my goal to make your photography experience fun and stress free! The session will include posed shots as well as candid shots, which are always my favorite to capture.

"Rachel did a great job with the Senior photo session! She was easy to work with and took charge of taking the pictures. I didn't know what I wanted for the pictures, so she told my son what to do and it worked! Very happy with the turn out."

"Rachel always does the best job of capturing both of my daughter's personalities. Not only do we get perfect pictures every time, but Rachel also has a way of bringing out their individual personalities with every picture. We've done school pictures, 1st Communion pictures, and graduation pictures. We would not hesitate to use Rachel again in the future and we highly recommend her!"

"RACHEL IS INCREDIBLE. I was so nervous getting photos taken of my son and I together. I am only 4 months post-partum, and my body is not even close to where I want it to be. Rachel was patient and kind, and did everything that I asked her to do photo wise. I wanted to be in the photos with my son, but I didn't want to hate how I looked. Mission Accomplished. As long as I am in the area, I will continue to use Rachel for any photo needs. Thank you!"
