I'm Rachel

I'm a professional photographer & mentor specializing in authentic moments and building connection-lead businesses.

Whether you're looking for a photographer who will not only photograph you, but truly see you and your loved ones, or you're a photographer who has had enough of other educational programs and mentorships who shuffle you through the same tired programs...you'll find a truly personalized experience right here. I don't believe in surface level interactions - I pour my heart into everything I do. 

What I do is more than a business, its a community full of real moments, real humans and real connections.

I book very limited sessions in Indiana so I can give my clients the best experience possible. Travel sessions can be booked year-round & mini sessions release seasonally.

Newborn sessions are held in my Brookville, Indiana studio...or I can travel to your home depending on availability.

My most flexible sessions are also the ones with the most availability. These can be headshots, sitter sessions, milestones, mommy + me or family portraits.

Capture the miracle of motherhood before your baby arrives. These sessions include the option of both studio and outdoors, along with mom-to-be only or your other family members.

how can I help you reach your goals?

online education

1:1 mentoring

presets

2025 workshops

Whether you're looking for passive, fresh education through the Collective monthly membership, or accelerated and focused programs like the Bootcamps, I've got you covered.

If you're looking to get the most personalized education experience, a 1:1 mentorship is the way to go. I offer both online and in person mentoring -- working with your schedule and struggles to fast forward your growth in this industry.

In 2024 I released my Preset Collection, a curated set that adapts and changes depending on the season and lighting. These are presets that aim to enhance already beautiful image, with vibrant tones and non-corrective adjustments.

We are currently taking applications to host Fly on the Wall & Intensive two day workshops. These need to be outside of the Midwest area and can either be for newborns, families or both!

First paid baby since the workshop. I saw the nice light. My posing looked professional. Baby was very relaxed. I’ve never felt that confident in a session. Ever. Thank you, Rachel!
