Great experience working with Rachel. She showed up promptly and was super professional in handling a family photo session with 11 of us (5 kids which is no small feat). Would hire again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am a growing photographer so I offer more affordable pricing, while still ensuring high quality photos you will love.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to hear about your vision and find a plan that will achieve that as closely as possible. I edit my photos based on the feel of the event, but I am always open to hearing how you see the photos being edited. Could be simple and natural, bold and vibrant, warm and romantic, or anything you can think of.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to school for graphic design and took photography as well. All the art classes helped teach me composition, color theory, and audience appeal, all of which strengthen my photography skills to something I can be confident with when helping my customers.
