oh hey!
I'm around people & get to see how God is moving in their life. I love creating a space where people feel accepted and comfortable having vulnerable and real conversations.
You can typically find me exploring the woods with my husband and two dogs, delighting in exotic foods and flavor profiles and crossing novels off my every-growing list of books to read. At any given time I may have multiple to-do lists spread across my desk. I'm a planner at heart and a (recovering) perfectionist at my core.
I've been learning hard lessons in the beauty of brokenness and extending grace to myself for imperfections. My heart's desire is to help you tell your story - including the joy and fear, tears and laughter.
My heart is full when...
hi friend!
the heart behind the images
There was a time when I didn't think that I could have children. The sense of loss was so real & I unexpectedly had to mourn the absence of children that I never had. I felt so helpless.
It's my heart's desire to capture all the joy leading up to your little one's arrival. My heart is so full knowing that I am surrounded by the gift of life & I hold that tenderly in my hands. I personally pray for each and every little one (& their families) as I capture and cull and edit your photos. I don't take this opportunity lightly & I want to speak health and love and truth into each of their precious lives.
I firmly believe that children are a gift to be celebrated. And you don't have to take my word for it. Our sweet heavenly father says so! "Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward." Psalm 127:3

She did an incredible job through the whole process. If you’re looking for a photographer, Rachel is your girl.
