all the details
My style is playful, vibrant, and heartfelt. It is focused on capturing real connection and personality. I lean into bold colors, natural light, and thoughtful compositions that bring out the beauty in everyday moments. Whether it’s a child’s wild giggle or a quiet in-between glance, I aim to preserve the kind of images that feel alive, honest, and deeply personal.
My Style
"RACHEL GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND JUST SNAPPING A PICTURE FROM BEHIND A LENS. RACHEL DIVES RIGHT INTO EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY TO GET TO KNOW WHAT SPECIAL PART OF THEM SHE WILL BE LOOKING TO GRASP IN A SINGLE IMAGE."
Whether you’re capturing your family just as they are right now, celebrating your high school senior before they take their next big step, or wanting a bold studio portrait that shows off personality, I know how meaningful these moments are. Every session is thoughtfully tailored to reflect your style, your story, and the people you love most.
