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.

My niche isn’t in one type of photography—it’s in adventurous storytelling and human connection.

Hey there, I’m Rachael.
