Your wedding day is relaxed and also fun! Let's make sure you remember it as the best day of your life. You have a good relationship with your photographer. We're about to spend a good amount of time together, let's make sure we're all incredibly excited about it. Please reach out to check if I'm available - Please note, I take a limited number of weddings a year to give you the best experience possible.
If you're creating visuals, you need to make sure your own brand's image is professional and gives insight to what your client is going to experience while working with you. Trust me, I know it's scary getting on the other side of the lens, but it pays off. Your customer will be able to relate to you better, thus providing an even better service to them.
Over the last decade, I've photographed every type of session or event you can think of and what I'm most known for is: Weddings, Branding for Businesses, and Landscapes. With or without a camera in hand, you can find me hiking, sailing, running, snuggling with my puppers, or ugly crying to an inspirational movie.
Your love story should be captured in a way that is authentic, beautiful and natural. Rachel combines photojournalism with artistic compositions to tell your love story in the most beautiful way. This allows you the opportunity to enjoy every moment, and still receive photographs that will remind you of your magic for years to come.
If you're looking for a photographer who promises to be fully present, to listen to what YOU want captured most, and who is compassionate and hard-working, you found your match!

We hired Rachel for a family photo shoot and she did such an incredible job! Cannot say enough good things about our experience working with her. This was our first family photo shoot with our little one and we weren’t exactly sure what to expect. She did a great job helping us feel comfortable and provided just the right balance of directing and letting the moment unfold. We were so happy with the photos and have received some many compliments on our holiday card. Would highly recommend her!

Rachel did our wedding photos on 10/16/21, and we're so grateful we hired her! She was professional, responsive and helpful from the very beginning. She's got an amazing artistic eye and we loved her captures of our special day. So beautiful! She's also a pleasure to work with; highly reliable and kind. I would recommend her to anyone!

We feel so lucky to have been able to book with Rachel. She is professional, bright and, in our experience, really works to understand what makes you feel most comfortable as a couple. My partner and I haven't done many photoshoots together, but Rachel played a critical role in helping us to feel relaxed during our engagement and wedding shoots and really enjoy the experience. We also love the fact she is an experienced landscape photographer, and appreciated the natural elements she captured in our shots highlighting the beauty of the PNW.

Think of all the positive descriptive words you know, they all apply to working with Rachel! She is attentive, honest, reliable, detail oriented, timely, hilarious, professional, sweet, and more. Rachel collaborates with you every step of the way. She took both our engagement photos and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier! We heard from many members of our wedding party and guests how fun Rachel was, and how great our photos look!!!

Rachel was our amazing photographer for my son’s senior pictures. She was very helpful with asking questions about my son’s interests and hobbies to possibly incorporate them into the photo session! She was very willing and accommodating to what location we were considering to shoot at! During the session she was prompt, professional and helpful with guiding my son to take several photos where I could tell he seemed to finally relax and enjoy the session without feeling nervous or forced to take a photo he didn’t feel comfortable with. Rachel continually conversed with my son and I let her

Rachel was amazing! I can't recommend her enough. We fell into the "COVID Postponement" group and had to move our wedding date back a year; only to get married on the hottest day on record in the Portland area. Rachel did a wonderful job listening to our needs and captured our event beautifully. We got so many comments of, " You can't even tell in these photos it was 105 degrees out!"
Rachel captured so many candid shots of our guests- it was exactly what we wanted. She was responsive to us and communicative.
I would also recommend her photo booth option!

I’m a local florist and had the pleasure of working with Rachel on one of the hottest wedding days on record. She was very responsive any time I reached out and took absolutely beautiful photos. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a professional photographer for your event.

If you have the opportunity to work with Rachel, I highly recommend her and her photography skills! First, as you can see for yourself, the product she delivers is top-notch. Rachel is a fantastic photographer, and really has the eye to make your photo sessions special. When the photos are delivered to you, they are shared digitally in an easy to use gallery website. The site is very cool - easy to view your photos and you can easily download or order prints too. She makes it super smooth and simple.

Rachel was fantastic to work with. We wanted beautiful photography for our wedding, but within a somewhat tight budget and with a relaxed, warm atmosphere. Rachel was the perfect match. We met over coffee to discuss plans and budgets. We knew very quickly that we wanted to hire her. At our wedding, she was there on time. During the ceremony, we could not even tell she was there. When the ceremony was over, we spent 45-60 minutes doing couple photos followed by wedding party and family photos. She had great ideas on how to use different parts of the park we were at to create some variety. Afterwards
