Meet Rachel

hello there

I am a wife and mom of three and have been pursuing my passion of photography for over two decades now.

 

As I raise my own family, I learn to cherish each day and savor the moments I have with them. I believe in the power of preserving memories by writing them down, photographing them and sharing them with others.

 

I love helping moms tell their stories through photographs. I am continually inspired by the beauty in light, nature, and simplicity along with neutral tones and textures. As I bring these elements into my work, I am filled with joy which I hope to spread to those around me.

 

Relationships are a priority and I desire to truly connect with my clients. I love hearing their stories and gaining an understanding of where they will place their final images. I understand the stress of planning a family portrait session and how to display the artwork created.

 

My goal is to walk moms through the entire portrait process and make their photography experience one they will cherish forever.

Forty seven is the atomic number for silver. Silver is the original process of black and white photography and that is where photography started for me, developing black & white film and making prints in the darkroom.

You can’t slow down time, but you can preserve it.

I’m so glad I did. 

I love seeing our family album on our coffee table each day as I pass by. 

Every so often, I stop and flip through the pages. 

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for my family and I can’t believe how much my kids have changed in such a short time. My son is now 6’ tall!

You’ll never regret investing in your memories!!

Your next portrait session doesn’t have to be stressful! 

We get it, when it comes to planning maternity, newborn and family portraits, figuring out what to wear is the most challenging. 

It’s hard enough planning outfits for just yourself everyday, let alone coordinating with other family members who are picky, have sensory issues to certain fabrics, don’t like specific colors or textures and the list goes on…

That is why our studio offers a client wardrobe!

It’s a simple process. We ask you some questions, help narrow down options, you try them on, choose your favorite, then we coordinate outfits for your family. 

You’ll be amazed how quickly it comes together. 

We’ll even make sure everything is steamed before your session and cleaned afterwards. You’re busy, you don’t have time for that. 

Let us help you take choosing wardrobe off your plate. Reach out today and we’ll show you how we can help with all the other frustrations that come with a photoshoot too.
