Dragonfly Photography

We had the most amazing experience when Rachael did a family photo shoot in December! It was our anniversary and our kids and grandkids all got together for a celebration. Thirteen of us all together. Rachael did over 100 photos both inside and outside the house using settings that her eye said would make great pictures. She was wonderful at getting everybody to relax, smile, pose how she wanted- even the grandkids who were as young as four! She took photos of the entire group, then each individual family, then couples, then just grandchildren. They came out spectacular! These are the best professional

Working with Rachael was a wonderful experience! She is a very talented and professional photographer with a great sense of style. During my shoot, it quickly became clear that she has a wealth of experience and skill, and it was easy to be comfortable and relaxed with her. She knew the best locations for shots, where to get the best light for the time of day, and it was clear that she had a plan to make sure we got the best images possible. The entire shoot was seamless and a lot of fun. Thank you so much Rachael!!

Amazing experience! Rachael is such a talented photographer with an eye to detail, from picture planning down to how the photos are delivered (wrapped and ribbon-tied boxes). We had a group of 40+ family members and everyone got to shine! The lighting and staging was so flattering to even the larger members (ahem, me!) were pleased. I was HAPPY with how I looked, and that can be hard to do. I can’t recommend or thank Rachael enough for creating a life-long family memory we will always treasure. 💕

Rachael is my sister but she is also our family photographer. I have also been a second-shooter with her so have seen her in action first hand.
Wedding Photography: Working next to rachael is intimating and inspiring. She is the go-to person on the wedding day and knows how to get the perfect photos while managing all crazy aspects of the day. (For example, groomsmen can't find their boutonnieres or cannt put them on, without any hestiation Rachael will find them and assign someone to help the groomsmen). SHE IS AN ASSET TO YOUR WEDDING DAY and you will LOVE your photos!

Rachel is absolutely wonderful! Cannot recommend enough. I absolutely love my pictures!!

Rachael was one of our favorite parts of our wedding. Not only is she super talented but an amazing human. Leading up to our wedding she was helpful with the logistics and timeline. The week before she took time out of her busy schedule to calm me down. We cant thank Rachael enough and will be using her for all of our photography needs in the future.

I planned to propose while on vacation near Portsmouth and wanted to capture the moment. I am so glad I found Rachael! She was absolutely amazing. I stayed in touch with her via phone and email leading up to my trip and she was able to answer all my questions. She went above and beyond to help me surprise my fiance and the pictures on the beach are stunning and perfect. You can't go wrong when you work with Rachael!

As a student in Rachael's Intro to Photography class, I had the unique experience to work in a small group setting with other fabulous amateur photographers. Rachael was knowledgeable, patient, and upbeat which made the learning process fun. We had the opportunity to learn in real time through class photo shoots and field trips. Now I finally know how to use my camera off of the automatic settings! Thank you, Rachael, for a great experience!

Rachael offers an 8 week photography class for beginners. I started the class as a novice, I completed this class feeling very confident in my photography skills. Rachael offers the class for a limited number of students- This allows her to give lots of attention to each of her students. The class required weekly homework assignments - both interesting and fun. At the conclusion of the class all of the students leave with a lovely portfolio of their photos. I look forward to her next class. Highly recommend this. Bonus takeaway new friends!

Rachael is an amazing photographer, who puts everyone at ease and makes even the most camera shy person feel comfortable. The pictures turned out better than we could have imagined, which was important because this was a re-shoot after we weren't happy with the photographs we had received from our first photographer ( who shall remain unnamed, and charged a great deal more). We now recommend Dragonfly Photography to all of our friends. I just wish we had used Rachael first and not wasted our money and time. Rachael comes highly recommended.

Not a good experience. Went for a senior yearbook photo. Photographer was not willing to try any ideas like spots at the location or poses. When I asked to stop at a spot for a photo she said "that's nice but I know a better place, I have my regular spots" I understand that there are factors like lighting to consider but it would be nice to humor the customer at least a bit. The photos turned out terrible and despite paying $300 they were unusable. I had my boyfriend take my senior pictures and they turned out better.

Rachael is truly amazing and I find her photography work to be outstanding. I never enjoyed having my photo taken however she was persuasive enough to make me smile and my photos came out better than I could have ever imagined.
