Hi, I’m Rachael, the photographer behind The Keepsake Lens and the mom who’s likely baby-wearing during your session. I’ve loved photos for as long as I can remember. As a teenager, I would flip through family albums just to feel connected to those fleeting moments.
Over the years, I became the one who always brings the camera, who gently reminds everyone to stop and smile, who makes sure birthdays, backyard barbecues, and everyday magic don’t slip away without being remembered. I’ve become the keeper of photos in my family, and now I have the joy of doing the same for others.
I focus on natural, relaxed sessions that reflect your real connection. I photograph families, couples, and kids outdoors, in soft light and genuine moments. If you're celebrating a milestone or simply want to hold on to this season of life, I would be honored to help you keep it close.

Give me the real stuff; the giggles, the snuggles, the movement.
