If the thought of being in front of a camera makes you break out in a nervous sweat—I got you! So many couples come to me worried they’ll look stiff, awkward, or overly posed in their engagement or wedding photos. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to be a model to get amazing pictures. You just need a photographer who knows how to make you feel comfortable, confident, and totally you.

Making the Experience Fun, Not Forced

Take it from one of my couples, who were worried about looking unnatural in their photos. For their engagement session, I got to know their story and found out they had a special connection to a bowling alley. So, instead of a typical session, we turned it into a fun, laid-back shoot full of laughter, movement, and real moments. The result? Photos that felt authentic—not awkward.

Guiding You Every Step of the Way

On your wedding day, I’ll be more than just your photographer—I’ll be your hype girl, your timeline-keeper, and the one making sure you actually enjoy the moment. Posing? Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through everything in a way that feels natural, not forced. Instead of stiff, awkward shots, we’ll create images full of movement, laughter, and the real connection you share.

Let’s Make Magic (Without the Awkwardness!)

Still nervous? That’s totally normal! But I promise, within minutes, you’ll be too busy having fun to worry about what to do with your hands. 😉 Let’s capture your love story in a way that feels real—no forced smiles required.

“Rachel was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we met her, she brought such hilarious energy that made us feel completely comfortable. Our wedding package included an engagement session, and Rachel took the time to learn about our relationship beforehand. She came up with the creative idea of doing a fun shoot at a bowling alley, where I first met my husband’s parents—it was perfect!

Rachel made sure every step of the photography process felt natural, guiding us through poses that can sometimes feel awkward, but with her help, she captured the authentic connection we share. She was always open to our ideas and came up with so many great ones of her own.

On the wedding day, we wouldn’t have survived without her! She kept everything (and everyone!) on schedule and brought so much energy—she was truly the life of the party. Her incredible work, along with her friendship, is something we’ll cherish forever. We can’t wait to use her again in the future!”
