Book a session online!

I have my schedule availability through April. Please either book a mini session or a full session. If you’d like a date that isn’t available, send me an email to rachelbrooksteinphotography@gmail.com and I’ll do my best to make it work!

I’m super excited to work with you.

A mini session is 20 minutes and best for someone whose family doesn’t need a long time to warm up to the camera. It’s quick and easy and we get a lot of fun photos! Immediate family only. Mini sessions come with 20 images and with the opportunity to purchase more.

A full session lasts around an hour. These can be used for newborns, extended family sessions, or any family who wants to take their time. If your kids are shy, this is the best option because it doesn’t rush them. These sessions come with approximately 100 images. I don’t hold worthwhile any images back.

LET’S CHAT!

Have questions?

I might have an answer...

  • I have a list of spots around Portland that I love to shoot at, depending on if you want forest, beach, urban, snowy, flowers, etc. We can also shoot in the clients home or at a studio space.

  • Three weeks is my maximum and I try to get them back sooner.

  • I don't hold any good photos back. I delete the ones that aren't up to my standards, meaning blurry, too dark, eyes closed, etc. and edit and deliver the rest.

  • Less is best! I recommend bringing a few treats/snacks/special toys that make your kids happy.

  • I work with each client ahead of time to help them prepare their outfits. I'll send over a Pinterest board with ideas and I've been known to even pick out specific things for them to wear. Please make sure your clothing is clean and wrinkle/lint free.

  • Sometimes kids are in bad moods coming into the shoot and that's okay. I'll meet them where they are at and we'll ease into the shoot. I've never had a family leave a shoot because their kids were upset. We will have fun and take our time.

Capturing the warmth within your family

I make family photography easy with my relaxed and playful approach. My shoots are simple- we let the kids be kids and follow their lead. We'll play, sing, dance, or do whatever else your kids want to do. I want you to look back on your photoshoot experience and remember how enjoyable it was. I love to photograph babies, kids, families, senior portraits, and maternity sessions. I'm based in Portland but travel around Oregon & Washington because everyone deserves beautiful photos of their family to hang in their house and cherish forever.
