Honest photos
of your real life
that become your most
treasured memories
DENVER FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Doing all the butt wiping, dish cleaning, laundry folding, angry whispering, middle-of-the-night snuggling, legging wearing, and the nervous Googling …
... all that seemingly mundane, routine, life stuff?
Right there in the middle of it, you're building their childhood.
You're making memories. You're bringing the magic only a mother can.
I see you. And I want you to see you too.
Hey you! Yes you.
Sitting there with the
dry shampoo-d hair ...
I SEE YOU.
I cannot wait for you to look at me and say "I'm just so glad we did this."
REALLY, REALLY WORTH IT
The last thing I want to do is ask you to say cheese. How 'bout we bake cookies?
REALLY, REALLY REAL
No more dragging your whining partner to a field. Seriously, let's go to the pool.
really, really fun
Here's what a
family photo session should feel like:
WHAT are your sessions actually like as a denver family photographer?
WAIT ...
While she is calculating light and capturing candid, beautiful photos, she also is connecting with your family. She is so relaxed and natural, making our little guys extremely comfortable. We truly appreciate her organic approach to capturing our 'real' family. It was above and beyond anything we would ever dream of for photography.
Her soul is IN it!!
Rachel has a visionary talent.

And if you’re like me, a lot of your moments these days involve deep breathing and thoughts like, “Are all toddlers this … mean?”
But allow me just a second of sap.
Every day, there’s a few moments that are real, true perfection. Whether that’s a look your kids give you, a shared laugh with your partner, or an out of nowhere, “Mommy, I love you” … they happen. And they aren’t always going to. Those babies grow up. They stop giving you surprise attack hugs and asking for back tickles or "just one more kiss." And those real, true, perfect moments deserve a tangible memory. Like a photograph.
Can I show you how beautiful your life is?
Can I show you what a good job you’re doing?
I'm not going to tell you to cherish every moment of
these precious days.
(Also, hi I guess. I'm Rachel.)

I am of the belief that one day in the future, when we look back at old photos, we will cherish those that show what and how we were when being ourselves, living our ordinary life. Posed family portraits have their time and place, but Rachel's photography captures the nuances of our lives in a way that is far more important.
We cannot put a value on the authenticity of her images.

We should all be OBSESSED WITH THE ORDINARY ...
Our purest joy doesn't come from the big, splashy moments in life. It accumulates—slowly, but in our daily habits and rituals. It takes us by surprise while we move through our ordinary days. And I'm obsessed with that kind of moment. It can be found in ...
... where every single one is the perfect amount of ripe.
... slathered THICC on a warm slice of bread.
... that you happened to pluck from a bin at a thrift store.
... when you were just ready to give up on your dinner.
Your comfort show
... when you turn on the TV in a hotel room.
a heavy pour of wine
... while you cook, after a hard day, or just because you can.
REAL LIFE IS ROMANTIC AS HELL
As long as you pay attention. That's all I want to do—help you notice the wildly ordinary moments that are actually the ones you want to remember most. People tell you to enjoy this phase and again, I won't.
But I will help you remember it.
