Livin' a Wild Ride
Serving Cheyenne, Wyoming & the tristate, I am a storyteller behind a lens capturing still framed portraits to adore always, cherish for a lifetime & remember forever.
With a strong adoration documenting families & children, it is a true passion of mine to capture all of your chaos, your silliness & your joy! Children especially, hold a special place in my heart, maybe because I'm quite playful & child like myself, I'll always make you laugh!
Hey Friend, Call Me Rachel
Born and raised in a small suburb outside of Denver, Colorado, the place I always knew as home changed when I moved to good ole' Wyoming with my husband in early 2017! Truth be told, I was not a fan at first, but this Cowboy Country has become home, and I am so proud and thankful to establish roots here for my little and growing family!
I always had aspirations to be an Elementary School teacher, as I hold my Bachelor's in Elementary Education, and never envisioned myself being a self-proclaimed professional photographer, but God really had different plans for me!
When I had my beautiful, sweet twin babies in early 2022, I quit my 8:00 to 5:00 and became a full-time stay-at-home mom! If you are a parent, you know how quickly those iPhone photos accumulate. Well, I took that accumulation, maybe mild obsession and thought I would apply it and build a business! On October 6, 2022, I picked up a real professional camera for the VERY FIRST time... a realm where I knew nothing! Y'all, I found my deep passion; capturing families and children; documenting the beautiful candid moments between those you love the most; and what a blessing and true privilege that is.

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything."
