I'm a lover of natural light, unbridled joy, and people coming together. Getting to witness and enter into other's people's special moments and days is an amazing privilege and is my favorite part of being a photographer.
If you're looking for a specific section, here ya go :)
All things J.R.R. Tolkien, Doctor Who, hardcover books, Jeopardy, cookies, dancing, volleyball, Bible conferences/camps, period dramas, tight hugs...
I'm a creature of habit, but can also be very random. Haha. I love traveling and being at home. I will try to befriend any cat I come across. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people don't fully pay attention to a movie or tv show (you'll miss all the nuances!!). I love reading outside, but I often get distracted by God's captivating creation around me, so my reading goes a bit slow. Haha. I'm a 90's child of Lisa Frank, so I love the colors of the rainbow. I love spending time with old friends and making new ones.
I'm 31 years old (yeah, I know I don't look it. Haha), an extrovert (an ESTJ-A to be exact), and a follower of Christ :)
Now, I'm not saying we won't get some really cool, magazine worthy shots, 'cause I often do and that's fun! But that is not my main goal. Whether you're an excited senior or a man and woman committing to love for a lifetime, my goal is to capture you as you are in a relaxed and enjoyable way. So, feel free to be your goofy, romantic, serious, or playful self because that's what you, and those around you, will want to remember and is the most beautiful image I could ever take.

The main details...
"We used Rachel as our wedding photographer, she was so easy to work with and has a sweet, easy going personality. She offered ideas on poses, but also worked with us if we had any ideas (she even got on the dirty ground to get a picture for us!) she is definitely willing to go the extra mile and made us feel comfortable and helped keep our smiles genuine. Thank you Rachel for helping make our wedding special and for the memories we can continue to look back on!"

"My husband and I are so thankful to have had you Rachel as my photographer for our engagement photos! It was so joyful and FUN-filled! You made it feel completely natural. There were poses you suggested but there were also times where you told us just to do what we would normally do as if we didn’t have a camera there and to kind of create things in our own way, which was super neat and sweet!"

"Another photographer recommended Rachel to us for our wedding photography, and I’m so glad that we went with her! She was amazing!! She is super sweet and easy to work with, is great at arranging large groups for photos, helped us feel at home in front of the camera, and got such beautiful and creative shots! We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!"
