About Rachel

First and foremost, I’m a proud mother to three and wife to the most hardworking, loving, and dedicated man I know. My family is truly my whole world.

After getting married back in 2009, I set out to find a creative outlet, something just for me. I had no idea that picking up my first “real” camera in 2010 would completely shift the course of my life. Looking back, I’ve always had a deep love for documenting life through photos, even if I didn’t realize it at the time.

The births of my two sons in 2012 and 2014 were the turning point. Motherhood changed me completely and beautifully and it made me crave a way to hold onto each fleeting moment. Watching them grow so quickly, I realized how powerful photographs are: little time capsules that bring me right back to each season. The emotions those images evoke are what fuel my work today. Now, what began as a simple hobby has grown into my passion and career.

I am a studio and on-location natural light photographer specializing in motherhood, newborn, maternity, and family photography. I’m based in Birmingham, Alabama where my studio is located, but I’m always up for traveling to wherever your story unfolds.

My medium of choice is analog film - yes, the old-school kind. There’s just something magical about it. Film brings out a nostalgic, dreamy quality that feels honest and tender - exactly what I hope to capture for you. It’s timeless, emotional, and real.

I would be honored to preserve your family’s story with the same care and heart I give to my own.
