About
Hello! My name is Rachel and I am a photographer in Los Angeles. I specialize in baby and family photography, and I also do events, birthdays, showers, weddings, engagements, portraits, holiday pictures, food photos, architectural photos, nature photos, pet pics, and more! I got my first 35 mm camera from my mom when I was 11 and I never looked back. I am an empathetic, kind person and love to capture the joy and personalities around me. I prefer candid photos and have a documentary style, but I will work with you to provide a mix of candid and posed shots, and whatever else you want. Let's hang out together!
* Please note that I do not currently provide videography services and I do not have a drone.

Rachel was great! She was on time and ready to go early. Our photos turned out beautiful. She was very quick with editing and uploaded photos as she edited them which was really nice. We got sneak peak photos the day after the shoot and welcomed feedback on editing as she went. Would recommend!

Rachel was fantastic and super flexible. From reaching out to booking to processing all the photographs, it was a very seamless experience and took far less time than I expected. Rachel made us feel comfortable and traveled to our requested destination without hesitation. It was a wonderful experience.

Rachel was wonderful to work with for an hour-long session with some portraitphotos and some candid shots. She was very responsive in the lead up to the session and during the session itself. The photos turned out great - thank you Rachel!

So glad I found her here because she did such a great job! We had a large group to photograph, greater than 10 people, including kids and toddlers and she managed it all so well. She was so thorough and wanted to hear our ideas on the photoshoot we wanted before the event which I thought was so kind of her to do, she wanted to ensure she knew the vision we had. She was very kind and patient amongst all the chaos! We also got so many pictures and they came out so perfectly, definitely captured a day we will never forget.
If you have an event coming up look no further!

My husband and I hired Rachel for a maternity shoot and she was just amazing! We love our photos. Rachel came to our house and made us feel so comfortable. She gave us our photos soon after the shoot and we had so much fun. Our puppy was a participant and we honestly loved every moment. Hire Rachel immediately, you will not be disappointed : )
