Orah Photo - by Rachel Marks

Hi, I’m Rachel — the photographer behind Orah Photo! I specialize in capturing the beautiful chaos of family life — from giggly toddlers to camera-shy parents — all around NYC. My sessions are fun, relaxed, and full of personality (no stiff poses or forced smiles here!). After taking a little break, I’m so excited to be back on Thumbtack! I’ve missed connecting with amazing families and helping capture those fleeting, joy-filled moments you’ll treasure forever. I love turning everyday family moments into bright, joyful images that truly reflect who you are. Whether we’re chasing light in the park, celebrating a milestone, or just enjoying time together, I’ll help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera — and I promise, we’ll laugh a lot along the way. I have years of experience photographing: -Families & young kids -Babies & siblings -Birthday parties (for kids and grown-ups!) -Weddings & events -Portraits & headshots If you’re looking for natural, vibrant photos that capture genuine smiles and real connection, I’d love to work with you! A happy client said, "She [Rachel] was super professional, and all the pictures came out really nice! Before the event, she was great at communicating, so when the event day arrived, we were completely on the same page, and she new exactly what we were wanting. She had a calm and patient attitude, which was great with working with a tiny one, and it helped us all feel really comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for their event or portraits. I can't wait to work with her again!"
