Here to capture your next
big moment.

Hi, I’m Rachel.

AKA Indy-based portrait photographer and avid dachshund lover! If that doesn't say it all... I'll include a bit more.

I'm currently a Designer at a branding firm in Fountain Square and recently graduated from Purdue (Boiler Up!). In the meantime, I capture portraits all around the Indy area, pursuing my passion in my small business.

I'm here to capture you as you are in your biggest life moments and be your next biggest fan.

I received sneak peek pictures day after my session and my full gallery in less than a week! ”

“Rachel was an absolute pleasure to work with! We saw her work on Instagram and had every confidence that she could capture my husband’s special moment in beautiful color. We were in absolute awe at how resplendent his photoshoot turned out, the essence of his pride and happiness was so perfectly portrayed in permanent color. ”

– Ari + Greg

“We absolutely loved working with Rachel! She was easy to work with, responsive + quick, and great with our kids.
