ABOUT RACHEL

What I love most: creating memories that celebrate the moments that define your life.

behind the lens

I'm Rachel, an award-winning portrait photographer based in London. Photographing people is my passion; each woman I photograph has a story to tell, and there's only one like you.

Why people? Because you have that special moment in your life that you want to remember forever. My mission is to help you create memories you can look back on that will make your heart skip a beat, remembering the day when your life took a different turn.

I want to help you step into your zone of brilliance and look your best on camera, true to what makes you you.

I fell in love with portrait photography during a workshop with a renowned fashion photographer in Paris. It was there I realised I wasn't drawn to fashion; I was drawn to photographing people, to creating portraits. Looking at my work, she told me, "You're a portrait person." I produced some of my strongest portraits during that workshop, and she's been my inspiration ever since.

As an experienced photographer, I bring attention to detail and artistic vision to every session, capturing images that reflect my clients. From special milestones and motherhood to boudoir and personal branding, I collaborate closely with each client to create portraits that speak to who they are, in their most personal moments, and their presence in the world.

the roots of your business

THE HEART behind the PHOTOS.

15 years in, I still don't shoot the same session twice. Every person who sits in front of my lens brings something I haven't seen before, and finding that is what the work is all about.

I'm not here to make you look like someone else's idea. I'm here to make you look like yourself, for the moment you want to celebrate.
