Freelance Photographer

Kalamazoo, Michigan

A young woman with long brown hair, wearing a white sweater and a khaki skirt, is sitting on a striped blanket on the ground outdoors, holding a black dog with curly fur and a red bandana. They are in a Christmas tree farm with green evergreen trees in the background.

Hi, I’m Rachel an engineer with a passion for photography!

My love for photography started when taking a high school photography class. Following high school, I minored in Art & Design at North Carolina State University which allowed me to study photography abroad at Academia Italiana in Florence, Italy. I take pride in giving my clients photos that make them feel confident and beautiful, and I work to customize each shoot to meet their vision. When I’m not with my camera, I work an office job as a Textile Engineer for a medical device company. For fun, I spend time outdoors with my Portugese Water Dog, Mackerel.
