Capturing the beauty of your everyday Life

Bay Area Portrait Photographer

View Sessions

The laughter, the connection, the quiet in-between moments - these are what make up your family’s story. I capture the joy and emotion woven through every season of life, so you can hold onto it exactly as it felt.

These are the moments you’ll want to come back to

My work focuses on bright, natural, and timeless imagery for families - capturing genuine connection, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that reflect your family exactly as you are in this season of life.
As a mom of two, I know how quickly these seasons pass - and how easy it is to wish you had more photos of the in-between moments.
What started as a way to document my own family became a passion for helping other families preserve theirs, too.
After years in the corporate world, photography gave me a way to slow down and be present - and now I get to help others do the same.

Newborn sessions are slow, calm, and intimate - focused on the quiet beauty of your newest arrival and the tender connection within your growing family. We move at your baby’s pace, capturing the tiny details, soft moments, and overwhelming love that fills your home in these early days.

Newborn Sessions

Maternity sessions honor the beauty and anticipation of this chapter - capturing the quiet strength, softness, and connection as you prepare to welcome new life. This is a season that passes quickly, but deserves to be remembered just as it felt.

Maternity Sessions

Family sessions are relaxed, natural, and centered around connection. I create space for genuine moments to unfold - laughter, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that reflect your family as you are right now in this season of life.

The moments that matter most

Portrait sessions for every season of life

- Kelly, mom to Mason & Skylar

From the very beginning, her communication was seamless and detailed, which made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. During our session, she was incredibly warm, patient, and wonderful with my children - helping everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera.
The final gallery exceeded all expectations. The images are bright, emotional, and truly reflect our family in this season of life. We are so grateful to have these memories and will cherish them forever. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented photographer.

“Rachel was phenomenal to work with from start to finish.”

Let’s Begin

The moments you’re living right now won’t always feel this way - laughter in the kitchen, quiet connections, the way your family fits together in this season of life.
My goal is to preserve those moments in a way that feels natural, joyful, and true to you.
If you’re ready to capture this chapter of your story, I’d love to connect.
