Heartfelt photography for families, couples, and little milestones…
…with my own little one always by my side.
Rachael is a Lancaster-based lifestyle photographer, a storyteller at heart, and a mother who knows just how quickly the little moments become memories. With a calm, natural approach and a baby often snuggled close as she works, Rachael captures honest, heartwarming glimpses of connection; whether it’s families, couples, or growing kiddos. Her sessions are relaxed, go-with-the-flow, and rooted in real life.
Get in touch♡
Whether you're ready to book a session, have a question, or just want to say hi, I’d love to hear from you.
I’m based in Lancaster County, PA, and offer sessions locally (plus occasional travel!). I’ll get back to you between baby snuggles and editing breaks.
Let’s make something lovely together.
What I capture
-
Big hugs, dirty knees, belly laughs…We’ll take our time and follow the rhythm of your family. These sessions can happen at home, your favorite park, or anywhere you feel like yourselves.
-
Whether you want to make your current season of love, or you're soaking up the quiet moments before baby arrives… these sessions are low-key, intimate, and full of heart.
-
They're growing fast, and you don’t need a huge occasion to document it. Simple sessions built around who your little one is right now…great for sitting-up photos, birthday portraits, or just because.
-
For the things you don’t want to miss while living them… birthdays, BBQs, playgroup parties. Think of it like a roll of film: casual, real-life moments captured while you enjoy the day.
-
Marking the end of high school, a new season, or just wanting some updated portraits…these sessions are relaxed and can be styled around your personality and vibe.
-
Some of the best photos happen in the place you live every day. Perfect for newborns, cozy family photos, or a slower-paced storytelling session that feels like home.
Rachael offers lifestyle photography for families, couples, and individuals, with a relaxed, natural approach tailored to each session. She also brings experience in product and brand photography, perfect for small businesses, handmade makers, and creatives who want thoughtful, story-driven content.
