“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven — a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.”
I’m not promising a picture-perfect gallery, where every image feels curated and posed, but I am promising one that’s filled with soul. You will cry, you will laugh, and you will see it all reflected back to you. Even if a photo isn’t technically perfect but tugs at my heart while I am editing, you will receive it, because I know you will feel it too. I want your gallery to hold the in-between moments, the quiet tears, the messy laughter, and the way love actually looks when no one is performing for the camera.
My approach is rooted in presence and care. I want you to live fully in your day, to breathe, to eat, to dance, to feel it all without ever worrying about how it will photograph. I will be there quietly, noticing the way your mother looks at you before you walk down the aisle, the laughter of your friends around the table, the sacred stillness after the vows. I photograph the things that make your story yours, creating imagery that will feel like memory years from now — honest, imperfect, and deeply human.

Family sessions are meant to feel real and relaxed, like spending an afternoon together while I quietly document the beauty already unfolding. These are always child-led, allowing little ones to move, explore, and just be themselves while I follow along and capture the magic that naturally happens.

Once we’ve talked through all the details, I’ll send over everything to make it official — your package options, contract, and deposit link. Once that’s done, we’re locked in! You can officially start counting down, because your story is about to be documented in the most beautiful, intentional way.
"From the very beginning, Rachel seemed genuinely interested in us and our love story, and she continued to invest in us over the course of our engagement - always offering tips for wedding planning, sending shot ideas, and just genuinely checking in on us :) That translated well into our wedding day where she learned the names of everyone in our giant wedding party and connected to them as well! Everyone felt so seen and empowered by her, making them feel so comfortable in front of the camera."
"Hiring Rachel as my wedding photographer was the first and best decision I made for my wedding. She perfectly captured the visions I had and was so easy to get along with. She puts so much time and effort into making sure she documents all of the beautiful details that others may overlook. My wedding and reception photos are a gift I will cherish forever because she was able to photograph the real emotions of the day. I can’t wait to book other sessions with her soon. Thank you Rachel!!"
I shoot with two mirrorless dual-slot cameras: the Canon R6 and R6 Mark II. Mainly use zoom lenses so I can capture every fleeting moment quickly and intentionally. For film, I keep things old-school and honest with my Canon EOS3 and my favorite little Olympus Stylus. I love the balance between digital and film, both working together to tell your story with depth and nostalgia.
It’s a rare situation, but I take it seriously. If something truly unexpected ever keeps me from being there, I’ll immediately find someone I fully trust to photograph your day, and I’ll still handle the editing and delivery so your gallery feels consistent and true to my style. If that’s not possible, I’ll help find a substitute for you and refund every penny — you’ll never be left figuring it out alone.
Most of the time, it’s just me! I genuinely love the rhythm of working solo and being able to move quietly and intentionally throughout your day. That said, if you’d like a second shooter, my largest package includes one, and you can always add it as an optional extra.
You can expect your full wedding gallery within about 40 days and video delivery around 50 days. For smaller sessions, it’s usually closer to two weeks. I like to take my time editing with care, so everything feels just right — but you’ll always receive sneak peeks soon after your day.
Yes! I’m fully insured through USAA. It’s one of those behind-the-scenes things that helps keep everyone safe and protected, especially at venues that require coverage.
Typically, I don’t, mostly because part of what makes your gallery feel like you is the way I edit, color, and curate each photo with intention. But if you know for sure that you want the raw files, bring an SD card (at least 128GB) and I’ll happily hand them over at the end of the night. It’s not a big deal — I just like to make sure everything feels true to your expectations.
"Rachel is unlike any other photographer I have ever encountered. Her style is so unique and her approach is so personal + intentional... We just had so much fun working with her, she truly cares so much and it shows through her photos + her business."
