Hey Mama

I am so glad you are here!

My name is Rachel and I am a motherhood and family photographer based in Asheville, NC! I absolutely LOVE capturing family milestones through bright and colorful photographs filled with joy and beauty.

I know you are busy and life is moving fast but your little ones are growing every day! Let me help you freeze time and capture this precious stage of life you are in so you can cherish it forever! From tiny feet, to missing teeth, to brand new braces and graduating, I am here for you. To capture life’s fleeting moments through bright, joyful and timeless images that will always remind you of the magic of childhood and the beauty of parenthood. 

I can't wait to meet you and capture your precious family memories!

I am a family photographer based in Asheville, North Carolina! I was an elementary school counselor for six years but after having my two beautiful daughters I transitioned into photography full-time!

I adore my family and have found a passion for helping other mamas document their motherhood journey and family experiences through photography!

Rachel is very professional and is eager and willing to meet your individual requests. Recently she took maternity photos, hospital photos, and newborn photos of my family. The photos are beautiful and will be treasured for a lifetime.

Thank you for being so patient and taking extra time to calm and position my newborn son for photos. You have a gift!
