I seriously cannot say enough good things about Rachel! We have done several shoots with her and have been absolutely blown away every single time! She is incredible at what she does. She will make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and pose you perfectly. I’ve never had another photographer who has as many poses as she does and flys through them so effortlessly. Can’t wait for her to capture our special day!

She is the best!!! Loved working with Rachel! She is super talented, friendly and quick to respond. Her personality makes everyone feel at ease, and she recommends the best places. Her craft has been perfected, and her photoshoot style is effortless, modern and romantic. As a repeat client, I’d recommend her to all looking for a photographer whether it’s for a lifestyle family shoot, engagement or wedding. I can’t imagine going with anyone else!

Rachel is soooo amazing! She did this awesome trip down to the desert and was so sweet when we met in person. I’m a naturally shy person, but with her, she helped me get all the right angles and made me feel comfortable being my goofy self. Not only that but I was so excited when she shown me the gallery! She is truly talented and I had such a hard picking only a few pictures. I only wish I lived closer because her boudoir photos are amazing too. 10 out of 5 stars for sure!

Absolutely in love with the photos Rachel took for my fiancé and my engagement. Rachel was so bubbly and energetic and really made us feel comfortable being our goofy selves. Not only did she capture candid shots of us but was patient with our request to get our puppy in on the shoot. Douglas never looked better - 10/10 would highly recommend to anyone!

When researching for my wedding photographer, her instagram caught my eye right away! We chose her and she did NOT disappoint. I am so pleased with our photos, she captures the cutest moments and our best angles. Not to mention, the session itself was so fun and easy; she is so personable and easy going. I can't wait for our wedding in a couple years so she can capture the best moments all over again! :)

Rachel did our engagement photos and they look like something straight out of a magazine! We are so happy with the results and the fact that the photos captured how we truly are. We are looking forward to sharing our wedding day with Rachel and have her capture photos and memories that we will look back on forever.

Rachel was a phenomenal photographer to work with. As a couple who had not had any professional photos taken in the past, we were slightly nervous for the experience, but Rachel put us right at ease. She made the photos fun and got us feeling comfortable and loose within minutes! After the photos she communicated with us to keep us updated on the process, even though she was busy with the demands of the holiday season, which was much appreciated. The photos themselves were stunning and exactly what we were looking for - we will definitely be reaching out to Rachel for future photo needs.

Rachel is a funny and bubbly photographer. She has the best laugh ever and takes the best pictures. She incorporates your style with her own style and listens to your ideas. Her photos are cozy, whimsical and capture your personality through a photo. I recommend her to anyone and hope she makes it big in Barrie :)

Rachel is an absolutely lovely human being, who makes you feel at ease and comfortable from the start of your session. She is respectful of your comfort levels and the images she captures are a genuinely beautiful representation of what your hope others see as your authentic self. I loved our mini session!

We took family photos with Rachel just last month and we are so happy with the photos! My 3yr old son is typically very slow to warm up, but Rachel had her magic with kids and my son was super cooperative during the shoot and even ran to hug her. I think he actually believed she is Miss Rachel lol. Overall great shoot experience and had some great candid photos that were so natural but beautiful!

Where to begin... Rachel is incredible in all the ways! We hired Rachel to capture our engagement and wedding day photos, and we are so happy with everything. She is so personable and makes you feel so comfortable (especially as people not comfy in front of a camera) that it felt like a photo session with a friend, really allowing us to capture many emotions and special moments. We loved how our engagement photos turned out from the direction she provided, the candid moments she captured, as well as the beautiful editing. We just got married and she made the day so easy... somehow she was everywhere, all at once, capturing everything... from the groom and the groomsmen, bridal party getting ready, all the texture shots on my vision board, and the perfect angles throughout the entire wedding. We can't wait to see how these turn out and know they'll capture the emotions and memory perfectly. Rachel is your gal!

Ahhhh oh my goodness, Rachel made our experience the most amazing it could be. My fiancé and I haven't ever had professional photos done so for a first time experience with posing and style and requests... Rachel really stepped up and helped me through the WHOLE thing!


I sent her photos of my outfit ideas, photo ideas, asked her about recommended landscape ideas, she even edited a couple photos immediately for me to be able to post our wedding date announcement for our anniversary!


ON TOP of everything else Rachel did, she even re-edited a photo upon request for me! Separated from Rachel's extreme professionalism, she is a bubbly, kind, happy, smiley woman! Makes

you feel so comfortable and excited to do your shoot! She is flexible and understanding and extremely reasonable!


I will be hiring Rachel again for some other shoots | have in mind and she is shooting our wedding as well!


Thanks again Rachel!

Testimonials

I couldn’t be more thrilled with the mini photoshoot we had done with Rachel. My 2 year old daughter and I showed up for the 20 minute session and despite the short time frame, Rachel filled the session with so many different poses and settings, all the while remaining so patient with my 2 year old girls need to move around and difficulty sticking with the task at hand. The mini shoot came with 10 photos and Rachel captured so many beautiful moments we ended up purchasing another 10. I already loved them in their original form, but her editing made them even more dreamy and beautiful, focusing on all of the little details. In the Volkswagen Van in some of the photos, the vehicle caught Rachel’s reflection…without me noticing or even saying anything at all, she went back and edited herself out of the reflection and resent the images to me. I will absolutely be getting future photo shoots done by her again.
