Hi, I'm Rachel
Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm SO glad you found your way to my site! I am a photographer based in Lenexa, Kansas, specializing in family, newborn, and senior portraits.
As a wife, mom of 3, former 3rd grade teacher, and photographer, relationships bring me the greatest joy. Whether photographing longtime friends or brand new clients, my aim is that you would walk away feeling like you have gained a new friend. I care deeply about each of my clients and strive to create fun-filled, memorable moments for you and your family. I will guide you through the session and ensure you look your very best! And I promise to affirm and encourage you all the way! I want you to walk away feeling confident, celebrated, and excited about the photo magic we created together.
Photo sessions can be stressful. (I've been there!) But my hope is that your session wouldn't cause angst but rather remind you how very much you love your people. As a former teacher, I am no stranger to the shenanigans kids bring to the table. I embrace the silliness in full! I welcome the opportunity to photograph kids being uniquely and adorably themselves — all of the snuggles, silly faces, and child-led poses. The candid shots tend to be the most precious of all!
If you are looking for images that feel natural, genuine, and unmistakably you — with a consistent, timeless look you'll love for years to come, reach out today. Let's make the magic happen!
