Hi, I’m Rachel!
I got my first camera for my birthday when I was 8 years old and have been taking pictures ever since. I found a love for photographing people when I worked with a photographer in my area while in High School. Ever since then, I knew I wanted to bring joy to other people through photography. Seeing your memories captured through my lens makes my heart happy!
Here is a little bit about me:
- I have lived in Alaska, Texas, Arkansas, Germany, Maryland, Utah, and California.
- I graduated from BYU with a Bachelor’s Degree in Family Life and emphasizing in child development.
- I currently live in Los Angeles. I have also lived in San Diego, the San Fernando Valley, and the Santa Clarita Valley. You could say Southern California has my heart! I love Southern California’s light and locations for pictures!
- I’ve been married to my sweetheart for 6 years.
- I play the piano and the violin.
- I have a golden retriever named Remi who loves to cuddle more than anything.
- I love reading. One of my favorite series is Harry Potter by JK Rowling and currently I am reading the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson.
- I love to travel and take lots of pictures! The last place I visited was South Carolina – next on the list is Hawaii.
- I love the beach, art, music, and good food, and especially love when all of those things happen at once!
- My go-to fast food is Chick-fil-a.
I would love to help you create lasting memories filled with light, love, and laughter.
