Hey, I’m Rachel

A native Texan, current Virginian, and lover of gardening, the color blue, and bringing people together around a home-cooked meal. I value warm connection, have never met a stranger, and think almost any situation can be improved with humor.

Storytelling and faithfully documenting memories have been such a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and now I get to do that for dozens of select couples a year. If you want to know more about working with me, drop me a line here.


“Hiring Rachel for our engagement was one of the best parts of our wedding season. She was easy to work with, kind, and made the day feel special. In fact, she was so great we hired her for our wedding too! As our friends and family have said ‘those are show the grandkids pics.’ She gave us timeless, treasured shots of this season in our life and we can’t wait to call on Rachel for all the big moments in our life.”

“My fiancé and I had THE BEST time shooting our engagement session with Rachel! She arrived early to the shoot and gave us detailed instructions on how to get to the spot she scouted out. She made us feel super comfortable and we were able to let loose and get amazing natural photos. When we received the photos I was so impressed with the quality!! I would describe her style as bright, colorful, and fun. I 100% recommend her!”
