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 not only captured the vibes of our ceremony perfectly but also how we are as a couple. We did a couples shoot right before our ceremony, and she made us feel at ease and had amazing ideas on how to stage our photos. In the lead up to the day, she was super communicative and answered all our questions. We recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Congratulations, you’re engaged! This is a special stage of your relationship that often gets overlooked, so don’t forget to savor these moments leading up to “I do.” Take some gorgeous photos together, and create the most envy-worthy save the dates your friends have ever seen.
Feel like you’re on the cover of Vogue through fine art photos with an editorial twist. Personal branding with high-quality imagery is one of the best ways to promote yourself and your business. So whether you’re looking for updated social media content, website-worthy lifestyle shots, or a fun day in front of the camera, I’ve got you covered!
Rachel was truly a gem and so great to work with. I hate the camera and feel so awkward taking photos but she went above and beyond to get THE shot. I only thought I would have one, but I have so many gorgeous photos. Picking one is impossible. She’s personable, kind, punctual and so much fun to be around. She’s the person you want to capture all your special moments. I can’t sing her praises enough!
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 my calendar, we’ll start planning! This is the time to share your vision so I can give you the photos you want. 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.
My husband and I had a great experience with Rachel and highly recommend her services. Rachel was super responsive right away, and helped me figure out the best engagement session/wedding package for our budget. Throughout the wedding planning process Rachel continued to be responsive and helpful, providing vendor recommendations (I booked a florist from her list). On the wedding day she showed up early, stayed late, and hit all the notes we discussed during planning. This was the vendor I had the highest expectations for, and Rachel delivered!
Session galleries will be delivered in 4-6 weeks and wedding galleries will be delivered in 6-8 weeks, with a handful of images delivered within the week.
I do not personally have a studio, but know many lovely studios in the Baltimore area we can rent for your session! I am happy to give suggestions and help finding the perfect location, but the client is responsible for rental fees.
I require a 20% non-refundable deposit. The rest of your payment is due 2 weeks before your session. Please review my cancellation and rescheduling policy on your contract and on my website.
Deposits 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.
I’ve got you covered! I'll send you my Outfit Guide prior to your session! You can also send me pictures of your options and I'll give my opinion. We can also create a Pinterest board for inspo!
I love offering mini sessions so clients can book their sessions at a lower price point! Join my mailing list or follow me on Instagram @rachelvkinglifestyle to know when these sessions are being offered. These sessions are at certain locations on certain days and are not transferable.
Yes! You can order prints, albums, and more through your personal gallery for 1 year. For albums, I will help you create the perfect layout for your memories. I can send you a sample gallery to get an idea of what you will receive!
