I am a wife and a mom. I understand how fleeting this life is, and how precious capturing your wedding day memories are.
Over the past decade, I have had the joy of photographing love stories in timeless, elevated ways. I began my wedding photography journey in high school, while assisting another photographer and absolutely fell in love with the whole thing. The dress, the details, the love, the joy of the day. It has been my immense privilege and honor to be a part of so many celebrations.
The heart and soul of my business is creating spaces where people can feel their most relaxed and most real selves. Beautiful images come when people are their most authentic selves, and can relax into the process of having their photos taken.
I believe in helping ensure that your wedding day is as true to you as possible while bringing my own artistic style and professionalism to the table.
Meet Rachel
I believe in being present where you are placed, and contributing what you can to your community. I dream of being able to use my gifts to impact those around me for the better. We are only given a few years on this planet, and I think it is important to make the most of that time.
In my experience, the most meaningful connections happen when people are their most
real selves. So if that means I need to tell you about the time I started weeping at an Amazon commercial to break the ice, I totally will.
I am a lover of good stories, chips and salsa and a comfy cotton t-shirt. I am married to a wonderful man, am mama to a beautiful 5 year old daughter and 2 year old son and am obsessed with my boxer-lab mutt.
My heart loves being near the ocean, but my soul thrives in the mountains. I am up for just about any adventure, I hate spiders, and I love bad puns. I have also been known to bust out really bad dance moves at seemingly inappropriate times-think walking through the grocery store.
