Photographing your family and preserving this season of life

family & lifestyle

WHAT
TO EXPECT

I grew up just outside of Boston and have always been drawn to documenting real life: the messy, beautiful, ordinary moments that make each family completely unique. Today, that same love for honest storytelling is at the heart of my work as a wedding and portrait photographer.

My goal is to capture your family just as you are. Even with poses and prompts, I always aim to photograph families as authentically as I can. The way your child clings to your leg, the in-between giggles, the quiet cuddles, the chaos and the calm. Every family has its own rhythm, and I’m here to preserve that in a way that feels honest, meaningful, and true to you.

a few kind words

"Rachael truly connects with families, which shows in the natural, real-life shots we will cherish for years to come."

She captured such special moments for our family and did an amazing job keeping our boys engaged the entire time.

Yes, you're welcome to bring up to two additional family members outside of your immediate family at no extra cost. Beyond that, there is a small fee per person to ensure we allow for enough time and care to photograph everyone well.

How Do I Book A Date?

I can only reserve a date after receiving a signed contract and the 50% booking retainer. As most couples tend to have their wedding on a Saturday, these are the days that book out the quickest.
