Hi,  I'm Rachel

For over 18 years and 3,500 portraits sessions I have had the privilege of preserving the most beautiful moments in a family's life.  Whether it's holding a newborn baby, seeing the pure joy of a laughing child, or documenting the fleeting magic of a multi-generational portrait I understand the importance of my work and know if will live on far beyond this generation. Nothing would give me greater joy than to capture your loved ones as perfect and cherished as you see them. So call me today; let's talk about the special people in your life and how we can capture a moment you'll treasure forever.

The First Year

Did you know?

In the first two weeks of life you baby has many bones that aren't formed yet; it's just cartilage. 
That's how we get those super flexible newborn photos.
It's extremely important we photograph your newborn within the first two weeks.
We typically schedule while you're still pregnant.
6-8 months is another great mile stone in your baby's life.
Sitting up, smiling, and new teeth are things we often capture.
The first year of your child's life is my favorite to document!
We usually end the first year with an in-studio Cake Smash Photo Shoot!
