Hi, I'm Rachel

Photographer, Fiancée, Dog Mom, Romantic

My love for photography began with my love for travel and my desire to capture the beauty of places I might only see once. What started as a way to document the world around me has grown into something much more meaningful.


Now based in Pittsburgh, I’ve found a deeper passion in helping others see the beauty in their own lives, capturing connection, emotion, and the meaningful moments that often go unnoticed.


I’m recently engaged myself, which has only deepened my appreciation for how quickly moments pass and how important it is to preserve them. I understand firsthand how much these memories matter, not just how they looked, but how they felt.


I’m drawn to capture love in all its forms. Whether it is romantic, familial, self-love, or the love we share with our pets, I approach every session with the same intention: to document your story honestly, beautifully, and exactly as it is.

My approach

 

I approach every session with the goal of making you feel comfortable, seen, and completely yourself.


You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do. I’ll guide you in a way that feels natural while leaving room for genuine moments to happen on their own. Whether things feel calm, playful, emotional, or a little chaotic, I’m there to document it as it is.


What if I'm not
photogenic?



There's no such thing. I'd estimate about 70% of my clients come to me hesitant to do a photoshoot because they've never liked how they looked in photos and are awkward behind the camera. Every time, their confidence and enjoyment grows throughout the shoot and they leave loving their photos.

 

Kind words from

Rachel was fantastic and we loved working with her! She did senior photos for my son and was very helpful in picking out spots to photograph him. He was nervous about the photo shoot, but she made him feel completely at ease. The pictures turned out even better than I could have imagined. Highly recommend Rachel and will definitely use her for photos in the future. I can’t stop telling friends about the great experience we had!
