Welcome to the blog

Here you can find recent story sessions, love stories, or even updates on my life! After all, what is a world without stories? Here are some of mine.

Hansen Family

I have the pleasure of seeing the Hansens three times a year – for the boys’ birthdays and in the fall for family photos. I absolutely love spending time with them and watching their family grow year after year. This year, not everyone was in the mood for photos, so we embraced the adventure instead […]

Krista + Jeff’s Family

Some families just radiate life the moment you meet them and that’s exactly what it felt like photographing Krista and Jeff’s crew this fall at Lebanon Hills. When Krista first reached out, she described her family as “a vibe of their own”. Between five grown kids, their partners, and five grandkids ranging from toddler to […]

Remi’s 3rd Birthday

Remi’s 3rd birthday sesh was the sweetest. He and his mama shared so many giggles, kisses, and even some stellar dance moves over at The Hive House. I get to photograph him and his brother for each birthday – it’s been such a joy to watch him grow and to celebrate these milestones with them. […]

Tanya’s Family

Tanya’s crew brought so much fun to family photos! This was a special session – I’ve known Tanya for a short time now and it was so fun getting to meet her family and document their lives right now! Thank you, Tanya and fam, for trusting me to document your family. XO, Rachel

Baby Wrenley

This session was pure joy from start to finish! A sunny morning, one adorable little family, and a cake that little Wrenley was more than ready to taste test. I loved capturing their giggles, frosting-covered faces, and the happiest upside-down laughs as mom and dad turned playtime into a party. Even their pup joined in […]

Rita + Rebekah’s 30th

Rita + Rebekah celebrated 30 in style alongside of Rita’s daughter at my Minneapolis studio, the Juniper Loft! A shoot full of laughter, love, and effortless vibes – celebrating this milestone with these gorgeous girls was such a treat!

Reb + Anna

Just wrapped up the sweetest family session with Reb, Anna, and their three sweet pups! They wanted to capture life with their favorite furry companions, and honestly, it couldn’t have been more “family”. Their dogs are their kids and from playful moments to quiet cuddles, every frame was full of love – and tail wags!! […]

Katie + Grant + Remmy

This session was so sweet—baby Remy was such a little trooper! Just a few weeks old, he was out of the sleepy newborn phase and full of curious, wide-eyed wonder. It’s always such an honor to photograph past wedding couples again, and getting to capture the next chapter of their family story is truly special. […]

Cassie + Dylan

Spending time with Cassie + Dylan and their sweet family was so good for my heart! We had the best time capturing their yearly Christmas Card photos! I love getting to see families grow, and this session was such a fun reminder of why I love what I do.Here’s a sneak peek!XO, Rachel
