Photography by Rachel

My interest in photography began as I messed around with my small digital camera, snapping pictures of my little sister and brother playing around in the backyard. When I was sixteen, my parents let me get my own blog, where I began posting my pictures. They had no idea how far that would take me! After two years of playing around, asking people if I could take their pictures, and searching the internet for poses, I feel like photography is a part of my life. And I’d love to make it a wonderful part of yours too.

For my family of seven, it was a constant headache to get everyone dressed up, get their hair done, and get to the studio. So when the three year old fell in the parking lot and skinned up their nose, no one was happy. When that;s what happens, who wants to get pictures taken? Because of the hassles, my parents scheduled pictures as little as possible as we were growing up. But it doesn’t have to be that way. As an on-location photographer, I will catch your family in the moment. Not in a stuffy-studio where everyone is uncomfortable and upset, but where you are the most comfortable, whether that be a park or your own backyard. Pictures are a printed memory – why not have the memory be worth remembering?
