hi! i’m rachel.
I’m here to make things easier for you. Let me guess- you need family photos but in the past they have been notoriously challenging, or- maybe this is your first time in front of a camera. Either way, my goal is to make your experience stellar from start to finish. Family photos can be tough, but we can do it.
I’ve been a family photographer for 12 years, and at this point, I definitely know how to get them done with as little stress as possible and have a great time.
My theory is simple… I let the kids be kids. We play, they show me their favorite toys, we listen to baby shark do do dooo dooo, and maybe eat some skittles along the way. When Mom or Dad wants to do some posed shots, we’ll do them. I put no pressure on the kids and let them take the photos when they are ready. We got this. I promise.
I moved to Portland from Philadelphia in 2013 to be closer to my sister and her family. Once I got here I quickly fell in love with the PNW and its’ beauty. It was simple. I’m an auntie to 5 kiddos who are my absolute favorite humans. I live in SE Portland with my husband Brodie, our two beautiful daughters Sahalie and Mackenzie, and our goldendoodle, Guthrie.
