HI THERE! I’M RACHEL.

Since 2019, I’ve spent my weekends crisscrossing the Midwest, chasing the most magical, mind-blowing love stories. 

Half a decade and more than 100 weddings later, there’s still nothing more breathtaking than finding something truly one-of-a-kind in a sea of “how it’s always been done”s. The chance to witness something first-hand that Pinterest hasn’t even dreamt of yet—moments BFFs will be reminiscing about long after they’ve swapped their glittery pumps for velcro New Balances—makes this the best job in the world!

So, whether you hope to walk down the aisle in boujee heels, cowboy boots, or as barefoot as the day you were born—and whether that aisle is lined with lilacs or lightsabers—I can’t wait to cheer on your wedding day vision. 

And I look forward to preserving it in dramatic, dynamic detail for generations to come.

YOUR LOVE STORY IS ONE IN INFINITY.

Just because the “I do”s are already in the rearview or still in the distant future doesn’t mean you’re without a love story to celebrate! No matter who you love—from kiddos to partners of 30 years, from your fleet of faithful doggos to the business you’ve built—and what you want to commemorate, I can’t wait to build the perfect portrait session experience with you!

Flooded with the same care and attention to detail I pour into my wedding experience, my portrait sessions are designed to make stepping in front of the camera a breeze. Let’s change the way you think of portrait photography forever!

SHE WAS AN AMAZING PRESENCE AND
ADVOCATED FOR OUR VISION.”

“Rachel is a rockstar. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and did an amazing job capturing the small moments of natural love that pass so quickly. She is an expert at going with the flow, but she also has tons of ideas when you’re not sure what you want. If you want natural, beautiful photos that show those ephemeral life moments, Rachel is perfect for you.”

Muddy paws and sloppy kisses

Rachel is amazing & fun to work with. She’s done several photo sessions with my dogs, and the pics all turned out beautiful. She takes lots of photos to ensure capturing all those moments, and to provide variety.
Rachel is professional, easy to contact & schedule with, and is timely with the turn around to get you the images. I’ll definitely use Rachel in the future, and look forward to not only working with her, but seeing her work

Rachel is wonderful at capturing candid moments! She worked well with my 5 year old son, who can be shy. She was patient and engaging with him! Rachel really wants to capture special moments and brings lots of dedication and enthusiasm to her work
