Boston area photographer specializing in weddings, portraiture and special events. It's about more than hiring someone to hold a camera and snap a few pics. Wedding and event photography is about carefully crafting and capturing the moments of your big day in a way that beautifully tells the story of your love.
Fueled by equal parts creativity and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile, and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch.

I'm Rachel, and I'm a wedding, portrait, and Bar Mitzvah photographer based in Massachusetts and willing to travel as far as your dreams will take you. As the parent of teenagers, I've learned that everything is better with some humor thrown in, and I've also learned how FAST life goes by. Photography gives me a way to stop time, both for my family and for yours.
Rachel is amazing. Her shots aren't just "pictures" - they capture the emotion and the life of the subject and the moment. Truly special photography. This is the day you've been dreaming about: the day you marry your beloved in the presence of your dearest friends and family.
We will be there with you every step of the way to capture all your precious moments: the smiles, the tears, the laughter, the promises, the looks you exchange when you feel the love in the room.And we don't want to miss a thing. That's why we shoot every wedding with two photographers in attendance.

Rachel is amazing. Her shots aren't just "pictures" - they capture the emotion and the life of the subject and the moment. Truly special photography. How many times have we been warned about the perils of parenting teenagers? And yet here these kids are, facing the world, making us proud, growing so fast we can see them changing by the day.
Your children are the parts of your heart that walk around the world, and they're changing every single day. I'm a mom; I understand how precious these moments are. I remember how my son's newborn baby skin felt like rose petals, the look of my daughter's tiny grin when those first new teeth came through, the way they carried their little backpacks as they walked in the door and away from me in those early days of kindergarten.

Looking through her Instagram page, I knew instantly that I liked Rachel's photographic style. It's personal, natural, and beautifully showcases the relationships between her subjects. I am so glad that we decide to book a family portrait session with Rachel! Our experience was great - she met us in a gorgeous location on a sunny Fall day, and knew how to scout out great locations for each pose, as well as how to deal with the conditions presented (bright sun is no friend of a photographer). She was great with our teen boys, and she made everyone feel relaxed. Given my oldest leaves for school
