Just a reminder that studio sessions are a great option for first birthdays and family sessions—no need to worry about it being too hot outside or dealing with surprise rain. I have a full client closet available, including children’s pieces, women’s dresses, and men’s tops to make getting ready that much easier ☺️

You might recognize this sweet crew—Sam and Jeff, the faces behind KidStrong in Timonium. We’ve gotten to know each other since they opened their doors, and I’ve loved watching the incredible work they’re doing with kids in our community. I was so honored when they asked me to photograph their family.

And yes, their kids definitely brought the energy—KidStrong style. 💪✨

Halfway through editing last weekend’s Personality Portraits and I am obsessed. These are seriously my favorite—there’s just no better way to capture all the silly, sweet, and one-of-a-kind expressions that make your little ones them. 🥹✨

I’ll be hosting another round later this year (think November-ish), and they always sell out—so if you want first dibs, drop your email below and I’ll add you to my VIP list! 💌

This session was one for the books—wildflowers, a rustic barn, and a little stream to splash in at the end. Even better? This family found the perfect spot on a friend’s farm, and it couldn’t have been more magical.

This little lady wasn’t about to miss a moment of her first photo shoot 👀✨ Wide awake the whole time—and still completely rocked it. Just a reminder: sleepy or not, your baby is perfect just as they are. We’ll capture all the love, connection, and magic either way ❤️

Three little ones in the studio - you're probably thinking chaos, and you wouldn't be wrong. But we found magic in the middle of it all, especially while celebrating Wendy's big 1st birthday!

The best part -- Mom fully trusted me to style the whole family. They arrived right on time, and she started trying on dresses as soon as they walked in. Once she found the one, we picked coordinating dresses for her older girls — which they instantly called their “princess dresses” — and finished it off with a shirt for Dad. The only things not from my client closet? Dad’s pants and Wendy’s adorable first birthday outfit.

Happy summer! ☀️

I hope the first week of break has been kind to everyone. Every year, our kids make a summer bucket list—and we’ve got the usuals this year: the zoo, the aquarium, ice cream, cookies… but they also decided they want to see the Northern Lights and Jelly Roll 😅 Not sure we can swing those this summer, but hey, here’s to dreaming big. 💫

I met this amazing family when we joined KidStrong in Timonium, and it’s been such a blessing to see Samantha every week. So when she told me they needed updated family photos, I was all in.

We met at one of my favorite spots in Pennsylvania. The weather was perfect, the water was peaceful, and the kids were all about the games. Lots of giggles, snuggles, and even got Mom and Dad in on the fun!

It’s Friday the 13th, so I figured it’s the perfect day to share a few random things about me that are maybe a little weird (or just very me):

1. I don’t watch anything scary. My body acts like it’s having a heart attack—and then there’s the nightmares.

2. I actually love the number 13—it’s my favorite number. I’ve even won a ridiculous amount of money on roulette betting on it.

3. One time I left a session and forgot my shoes. Didn’t even notice until my client texted me that I left them at her house. That tells you how often I go barefoot.

4. I love speed but I’m scared of heights. Don’t ask me how that works. 😂

So tell me—are you superstitious, or do you secretly love Friday the 13th too?

About Me

Hi! I am Rachael, the girl behind the camera!

I am a wife, mama, and nurse practitioner! I know how important it is to have family photos to display in your home to cherish forever. It can take a long time to search for a photographer that fits your style. You may also be worried how your children or spouse may behave in front of the camera. Put those fears aside, you have come to the right place!

I love to capture genuine connections through photographs. I do this by creating natural interactions such as telling my clients to play, cuddle, or tickle. If able, I will add a few staged poses as well to give you a a nice mix of photographs.

I am CPR certified by the American Heart Association. I have been a nurse for 9 years caring for medically fragile children and those with special needs.
