The Session...
I shoot exclusively on location. A session typically lasts 1 to 2 hours; however, if more time is needed, that's not a problem. I will come to the location of your choice: a park, an urban setting or your home. Younger children tend to do better in their natural environments, but if they are old enough, parks and urban locations can be great backdrops. My hope is to make the session as relaxed and natural as possible. We will do a mixture of posed and candid photographs. Mostly, I let you interact, be yourselves and wait for great moments to unfold.

Client Feedback...
Rachel- Working with you was such a pleasure. I was nervous about how my three year-old twins would handle a photo shoot, but you had the magic touch and found a way to make the afternoon enjoyable for everyone. The best part was the result - our photos are unique, creative, and capture the essence of our family. You will no doubt be our family photographer for life! -Erin
Dear Rachel,
How can we thank you for the gorgeous photos of our family? You captured the true essense of who we are and how we interact. We chose our favorite prints and hung them in the house and I stop everytime I look at one of them. I feel as if the moments in the photos never passed, and as a parent, that is a gift. Our children grow up so quickly and being able to have those unique and special qualities they exhibit captured in pictures is priceless. We think you are so talented, and such a joy to work with! We look forward to many more shoots as a family with you. -Meghan and Vince
Dear Rachel, A photography session with you is like hanging out with a great friend. You were so easy to be around and are so talented that I forgot we were having our picture taken! I remember telling you I was much more interested in emotion than composition. I wanted to convey how much we love each other and love being a family. The pictures you delivered were beyond my expectations. I actually cried. Ever since our shoot I have been trying to figure out when I can use you again! Thanks again! -Emily
Rachel- THANK YOU!! We LOVE the photos. We both cried already....tears of joy - of course. You're the best! -Julie & Jim

Okay.....so I bawled my eyes out for 5 minutes as I thought of how blessed I am with my wonderful family, and how blessed I am to have a CRAZY talented friend like you! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for capturing my beautiful girls in a way I'll never forget. -Tress
