Cat had already done the hard part. She built the business. She completed the rebrand. She knew exactly how she wanted people to feel when they landed on her website. What she didn't want was to spend another photoshoot trying to translate all of that herself. She came to me looking for creative direction, honest feedback, and a gallery that could communicate both her expertise and her personality. The result was a collection of imagery designed to support every corner of her brand—from social media and website refreshes to proposals, client experience, and beyond.

This luxury brand photoshoot for live event calligrapher Cat Lauren was built around personality, craftsmanship, and modern editorial storytelling.

My work is about preserving identity, not trends.

Hello, I’m Rachel.

I’m a photographer and creative director with over 15 years of experience documenting people through their most meaningful seasons. I approach photography the way an archivist approaches history: with reverence, intention, and deep respect for story.

A photographer for the last 13 + years, business owner, dreamer, and biggest hype gal when it comes to cheering on my people to succeed.

I’d be honored to create a visual legacy for you this year. DM me and let’s chat about your vision for your archive. More details at the link in bio.

If you’re building a serious brand,
you can’t afford casual imagery.

Most founders outgrow their photos long before they outgrow their vision.

That’s because they booked a session —
instead of constructing a visual identity.
There’s a difference between looking professional
and looking positioned.

I don’t shoot for “pretty.”
I shoot for presence.
If you’re stepping into a new era —
your imagery should feel like it belongs there before you do.

Let’s make a list of “things kids today won’t believe we actually did.”

1990-2002 babies... we had the weirdest, wildest, most unhinged childhood-and didn’t even know it was the last of its kind.

Comment with a core memory you had growing up that the next generation will NEVER experience the same way.
