Adventurous photography that goes against the grain

Life isn’t one-dimensional, and your photos shouldn’t be either. As an award-winning photographer, photojournalist, and a bit of a rebel, I don’t box myself into one type of photography.

I’m a versatile photographer creating real moments that produce natural, real imagery that celebrates connection in all forms in this stunning world we are lucky to call home. My passion is to pause time and capture real moments, from joyful to bittersweet, raw to sentimental. My photographs transport viewers back in time to relive these memories or for others to feel like they were there.

Exceptional imagery tells our stories and adventures, putting us right back into what it felt like to ski down that mountain or surf that wave. I'm down to travel with you into the Colorado Rockies for your intimate elopement, bring your vision to life in a creative commercial campaign, dance on the shores of Maui before jumping in the ocean to celebrate your love, or rip through fresh powder in Vail. No matter your moment, I'm there to help you bring it to life!

Photography for wherever the adventure takes you.

VIBRANT. REAL. IMMERSIVE. RENEGADE.

When your photo gallery is delivered, you'll be stoked on images full of life, color, and zeal.

Rochelle H.

She has the ability to perfectly capture the happiness and beauty in the candid moments for couples and family portraits then has the diversity to do full branding work. Professional, creative, can be given an idea and truly runs with it. Plus she gave just the right amount of direction that made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and not intimidated.”

Carrie Dill

I've worked with other photographers, and none have compared to Rachael. I HIGHLY recommend working with her. Aside from being a great photographer, she's an all-around wonderful person. She's also fun to be around.”

“Rachael is fantastic. I really dislike having my photo taken (especially professional headshots), and she made me feel really comfortable, which translated to great photos that capture my personality.

Hatton Littman

She's super fun and supportive during the session AND she will give you photos of yourself that look better than you ever imagined you could look. It is worth every second of your time and every cent you spend with her.”

“DROP EVERYTHING AND BOOK A SESSION WITH HER! Seriously, she is magic.

You could say I’m all over the map—and I consider that a good thing. For over ten years, I've been an award-winning photographer, photojournalist, and commercial photographer, working all over the world with clients of all kinds.

From the mountains of Colorado to the shores of Hawaii, I’ve worked as a commercial photographer for Outside Magazine, Old Navy, and Jameson Whisky, among others. I’ve photographed surprise proposals, adventure elopements, family sessions, and won awards by telling the unheard stories of marginalized communities, which provides greater representation while sparking awareness and change.

As an athlete and traveler, adventure is in my blood. Whether for a photo shoot or just because, it wouldn’t be unusual to find me helicopter skiing, hiking insane mountains, biking wild roads, surfing head-high waves, or running a marathon.

Whoever you love, whatever you do, it’s my passion to photograph it and create an experience you’ll never forget.
