Introduction: My name is Rachel but my good friends call me Ray. When I am not shooting you can find me in yoga pants working on the seasons latest Fashion Trends. I am an Apparel Designer by day and a Wedding and Portrait Photographer in my free time. My photography style is genuine, real and authentic. I will do anything to capture your day or moment while keeping a smile on your face. I am a natural light photographer which means I never use studio lighting. I make it simple for you, keep it light and focus on the precious candid moments that naturally occur between a couple madly in love to your growing family.

I reached out to Ray in a panic mode when my original Family Photographer canceled on us due to health issues. Ray stepped in, scouted a location and produced great work, quickly. Her portraits proved to be as stunning as her website promised. She captured my family beautifully and was truly great to work with!
