Meet your Photographer

Hi, I'm Rachel!

I am a mother to three amazing boys who have autism and ADHD. I have learned to appreciate the beauty in the real, messy and in-between moments of life. When I'm not behind the camera, I spend my time studying American Sign Language, enjoying moments with my sausage dogs Loki and Bandit, or embracing chaotic adventures and creating memories with my family. Having lived in both smaller and larger bodies after losing significant weight, I understand how vulnerable it can feel to step in front of a camera. That's why I am passionate about creating an inclusive, judgment-free space where everyone can feel seen, comfortable, and confident, regardless of their size, background, or life story.

Candid and real photography

we dont remember days, we remember moments

At Perfectly Imperfect, my mission is to capture real, meaningful moments in a way that feels natural, fun, and true to you. Whether it’s families, couples, Fresh 48, boudoir, or creative sessions, I strive to create a space where you can relax, be yourself, and feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.

I understand the beauty in the chaos, the love in the little moments, and how quickly life moves. I want to capture your story as it is. Imperfect, emotional, and genuine.

FAQ

What does “Perfectly Imperfect” mean?

It means I believe the most beautiful photos come from real moments. Not forced smiles or edited perfection. Your story is already enough. I help capture it as it unfolds naturally.

How far in advance should I book my session?

I recommend booking 3–4 weeks in advance to secure your date, especially during spring and fall when spots fill quickly. If you need something sooner, reach out, and I’ll do my best to make it happen!

What should we wear?

Wear something you feel comfortable and confident in! That’s what photographs best. I suggest neutral or earthy tones and clothes that you can move freely in. I’m happy to help you with outfit inspiration or a style guide before your session.

What’s included in your packages?

Every session includes a set number of edited, high-resolution images, an online gallery for easy download, and full print rights. Some packages also include complimentary canvas prints and outfit or location options.

What happens if we’re running late or the weather doesn’t cooperate?

Life happens! If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll reschedule at no extra charge. If you’re running late, I’ll do my best to use the remaining time to capture what matters most — no stress, just grace and flexibility.

Will you edit or alter our bodies in photos?

Nope! I’ll edit for lighting, color, and artistic tone, but I don’t alter bodies or remove natural features. You deserve to see yourself as beautifully as the people who love you do.

How do I book a session?

Head to my Contact page and fill out the inquiry form. Once we confirm your date/package, a non-refundable retainer will secure your spot, with the remaining balance due the day of your session.

What kind of photography do you offer?

I specialize in family, maternity, and couples sessions, but I also love bringing your vision to life, from lifestyle portraits to creative personal projects. Every session is centered around genuine connection and emotion.

Can i bring my pets, or sentimental props?

Yes to both! Your pets are a part of your family and story. And if you have a sentimental item, definitely bring it with you.
