Hi there! My name is Rachel and I have been photographing newborns, children and families for over 12 years. I love children and love documenting special moments with the people you love the MOST! I specialize in Maternity, Newborn, Baby, Child, 1st Year, Cake Smash and family portrait photography.

My clients have told me that I have a surprising amount of patience with children and ask me to babysit 🙂 I try my best to earn their trust and make them feel as comfortable as possible with me during a photo session. Photography has brought me so much joy over the years and I have made ever-lasting friendships with my clients.

I have special setups and many baby props in my In-Home Studio as well as a variety of beautiful maternity gowns for expectant mothers. I am located in West Bradenton, Florida near Anna Maria Island and service areas including Sarasota, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, St Petersburg, up to Tampa and Clearwater and sometimes Orlando. I can travel and photograph on location at a beach or park of your choice or in my Studio. Please reach out to me for any questions, I would love to hear from you!

QUALITY IMAGES AND CREATIVE TALENT

I take great pride in my work and continuously strive to improve! I believe that a great image comes from the photographer’s creative talent as well as the quality of their editing skills. You must have a good eye for a shot and know how to use your equipment, but editing a picture can change that image into something amazing! I have a strong technical background, an artistic side and I love to make my own props. After years of using point-and-shoot cameras, I finally decided to put all of my skills together and become a professional photographer.  My favorite shots are candid, in the moment photos, where you can actually feel the emotion pouring out of an image. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you and thank you so much for stopping by! 🙂
