Unique photography for creative people in Portland, Oregon.
I shoot boudoir and artisan portraits.

"Rachel has the gift of balance in photography...she is artistic while delivering images that please clients. She is fun while being completely professional. At events she finds the perfect balance of being the friendly photographer and not being intrusive. Not to mention striking just the right chord between photojournalistic coverage and traditional...She really does manage to please everyone.

She loves people...and thinks everyone is fabulous in some way. She manages to find that special something and capture it. And that's what makes HER fabulous!"

"Rachel's work is unique ... it tells a narrative, elicits joy, causes introspection, and highlights beauty. It's been an honor to watch her joy for this medium and her tremendous talent behind the lens develop, and I'm very excited to see how her love for people and unique creativity propel her to new places in her photography. If you have a chance to work with Rachel or hire her for a project or event, don't hesitate ... you'll be floored by her personal touch and singular voice!"
