Hi, I’m Rachel.
I’m a portrait and wedding photographer based out of Southeast South Dakota.
When you hire me as a photographer you’re not just hiring someone who knows how to take nice photos. You’re also hiring a wife, a mom, a daughter, and a friend. Someone who knows what it’s like to love and be loved. Someone who knows the preciousness of life and how fleeting every stage is; from your wedding day to the first days home with a newborn. I’ve been there, and I get it. I know the moments I want captured in my own life and translate that into my work.

With that, I approach photography with a modern, simple, and real perspective. I want to give you timeless and creative images that capture your life and the stage you’re in. I’ll give you prompting that allows for connection, but keep it minimal to let YOU really shine through. I’ll look for all those little in-between moments that are real and purposeful because those are the moments that captivate me every time.
Please look around my website. If the words you read and photographs you see resonate with you, I think we’d be a marvelous fit.
A little about me —
Jesus has saved me. He fills my life with joy and hope.
I’m married to my best friend, Owen. He’s funny and full of energy, and one of the nicest and most outgoing people you’ll meet. Together, we love small town living and hanging out with our three kids, Edith, Zion, & Finnegan.
While I love a wide variety of music, most days you can find me editing to Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift. Judge me, but I’m a sucker for a good pop song.
Some things I love include music, meaningful conversation, laughter, coffee, donuts, traveling, reading, and hosting get togethers.

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen.”
- Ephesians 3:20-21
