As a mom of three kiddos who are growing up WAY too fast,

That’s why I’m not your typical family photographer.

I want to be your family photojournalist. This sparkling passion was born from a realization that perfect is boring, and that the everyday experiences of life deserve to be celebrated and treasured. (But this isn't really about me.)

This is about you. The ones who want their family photos to really feel like you. Images that artfully capture the silly, wild, genuine, chaotic, joyful reality that makes up your collective soul.

Your family's genuine heart, with all the deep bonds you share, inspires me most. So making your photo experience deeply personal and just right for you is my utmost priority.

She not only captured the moments, but also the behind moments.

We had an incredible experience with Rachel… We have a 3 year old, and Rachel won her over quickly. She whispered to her in the morning as she woke up, she was so gentle. By the end of the session, our daughter wanted to play with Rachel and asked if she could come over again. Ability to connect with kids is so key when shadowing a family all day. She did a wonderful job making everyone feel safe and comfortable.

The photos turned around so quickly and were incredible. She not only captured the moments, but also the emotion behind moments. Every single photo was well selected and curated. I highly, highly recommend Rachel.
