I specialize in movement-based photography with my teammate Kaleigh. Our top priority is to help you feel as comfortable as possible so we can capture you in your natural element. We document with the perfect mix of postable candids and printable portraits. If you're looking for someone to guide you through a positive, high-vibe experience and photos that actually feel like you, then welcome home.

Hey! I'm Rachel
I'm so excited you're here!
My dream is to work with people that end up feeling like family. I want to document your love when it's raw and new all the way through welcoming your first baby or 3rd fur baby. Let me be more than your wedding photographer, let me be your lifetime documenter.

Featured Work
We often hear "We've never taken professional photo before so we are going to need a lot of help." The only thing we need from you is for you both to be madly in love. We've got the rest! We are going to keep you moving through activities that will get you both laughing. Before you know you will be posing yourself! Check out some couples who "Never take photos."
I've also gotten, "Our kids are crazy, Good luck." Well you're in luck because I used to be an elementary music teacher and would love nothing more then to run around with your family and be wild together!

Seth + Lauren
"We loved working with Rachel! My husband and I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. From day one, Rachel was very easy to communicate with. Not only did she make us feel comfortable in front of the camera, she guided us through the entire process and let us know what to expect. She made sure to get all the photos we wanted and captured the candid moments we didn’t know we needed. She gave great direction and knew how to keep the wedding party focused and on track."
Briony & Ben
"Got the pictures!!! We LOVE them! You did such an amazing job. The first thing my husband said was “She will always be our photographer from now on” and that says a lot lol!"

"Rachel is the most down to earth person, who will make you comfortable in any setting. She encourages the candid laughs, and genuinely wants to know about you and your partner/family. She creates magic with her photos and you will absolutely not be disappointed with her work. Garrett works behind the camera as a perfect match to Rachel. If there is ever a need for a photographer, we will no doubt have Rachel on speed dial."
