I know it doesn’t feel like it, but life goes by so quickly. We blink and we’re onto the next phase - getting married, raising babies, and growing in our careers. Through creative and thoughtful photography, you can celebrate each stage while preserving each fleeting moment in time. So no matter where you are in life, I’m here for you. I’ll cheer you on from behind my camera lens, and turn every cherished memory into a work of art.
Rachel was a phenomenal photographer and we would highly recommend! We did an engagement session with her at the Library of Congress and Jane Jane. All of the photos—and there were so many!—turned out beautiful. The session was a lot of fun and the photos felt very real and reflective of our personalities. Rachel is the best.
Your love deserves to be remembered on nostalgic film and dreamy Polaroids and I'm the person to make that happen for you! Whether you're interested in an a la carte engagement session or a couple session for an anniversary or just because -- I'll create images for you that make you feel how you did in that exact moment.
Ready to get in front of the lens and feel like a badass? For your business branding, commercial, or just for yourself. Anytime is a great time to step in front of the lens. Come feel gorgeous in my Baltimore studio or lets meet on location!
I reached out to Rachel to do a branding photo shoot for my business and from our first correspondence, she was amazing. Rachel completely understood my vision and executed it PERFECTLY. My photos came out beautifully...so beautiful that I cried looking at them. The quality of service, communication, and content is well worth the price. I will definitely be using Rachel in the future for business and personal photography!
As your family grows and changes, it’s so important to capture the little moments that matter. I’m a big fan of ‘just because’ photos, so there’s no need to wait for a big milestone to come around. No two days will ever be the same, so take the time to preserve the love you share for a lifetime.
After your package is selected and your date is saved on our calendar, we’ll start planning! Share your vision through a mood board or just share a few images that speak to you (bonus points if they're my photos!). Not sure what you’re looking for? That’s okay! I love to collaborate with my clients, so we’ll work on creating the perfect photo spread together. During this time, I’ll also share my Outfit Guide to help you get your wardrobe on point, and we’ll decide on the best location for your session with my Locations Guide.
Your session day arrives! Pamper yourself with hair and makeup, slip on that amazing outfit, and meet me either in-studio or on-location. Get ready to pose, laugh, and have a fun day in front of the camera. I’ll be there to support you every step of the way.
Following your photo session, I’ll be hard at work editing your photos to prepare for your final image delivery. For full-length sessions, your gallery will be delivered within 6 weeks. If you’ve opted for a mini session, galleries will be delivered within 2 weeks.
We booked an engagement session with Rachel and each part of it far surpassed our expectations. Rachel is super professional as well as approachable and fun. Both of us were a bit nervous going into our session, neither of us having done a photography session before, and Rachel made us feel confident and at ease. The combination of polaroid, film, and digital pictures we got are unreal and each offers something unique to create the whole package. Rachel also was SUPER flexible with us when our plans and dates kept changing!! We cannot recommend her enough!
Galleries will be delivered in 3-4 weeks after your session. You will receive an online gallery with your digital and film photos as well as Polaroid scans.

Retainers are non-refundable. If weather is an issue for rescheduling, that's not a problem but some of the most magical sessions were in windy or snowy weather. There Is a $100 rescheduling fee if you let me know a week before your session. If you need to cancel within the week, your deposit is forfeited and a new deposit will need to be made to book again.
