GET TO KNOW RACHEL
(Hey, that’s me! 😄)
wonderfully weird, warm-hearted badass, not afraid to make a fool of myself because YOLO, right?!
She/her
I pride myself on my clients having such a good time that they regularly tell me they forgot I was even taking photos.
I've been known to climb the furniture (I'm only 5'1"!) or lay down on the ground to get the shot.
I started my business in 2011, had my first baby in 2012, my next in 2014, started specializing in birth in 2016, and had my last baby in 2017
I trained as a yoga teacher in 2014 and taught at Mama’s Wellness Joint. I trained as a birth doula in 2016 with Birth Arts International.
I got my first camera when I was 2, though I’m not sure there was ever actually film in it.
Curious how to pronounce my last name? I gotcha covered!
Born and bred Philly girl. Traveled the world, but always knew Philly was home.
We're raising our family in my childhood home in Graduate Hospital, and intend to stay until one of our kids kicks us out to raise their family in it.
I found my love for photography with a film camera and the darkroom while studying in Italy. I found the power in portraiture when a friend confided in me that my maternity photos of her helped her finally feel good about her changing body.
I love photos of the moments you’re so used to that you don’t even realize how ridiculously beautiful and special they are ❤️
I had my first two babies in a hospital and my third in a healing home birth, and I'm grateful for each experience.
I’m a passionate supporter of our public schools, freedom of choice for all birthing bodies, and access to birthing options for Black and Brown communities

“Rachel is THE BEST. She took our maternity and newborn photos. If you want to truly capture the moment you are in and have unique, interesting photos, she's it. Not only does she have an amazing eye and takes stunning photos, but she is a great person. She made us feel very comfortable during our photo shoots and will always have a special place in our hearts for capturing such transformative moments.”
