I've been making photographs professionally for more than 20 years. My interest in photography started as early as I can remember. My father was an amateur photographer and had an Olympus OM-10 and a collection of lenses. He said that he bought the camera because Cheryl Tiegs was the spokesmodel. After exhausting his book collection I raided the local library where I was able to teach myself how to do black and white development and printing. I was fortunate in that the local library also had a darkroom that could be reserved. I'd ride to the library with chemical jugs slung over my rear bike rack and spend hours making prints of our dog and my bike. Later in high school I photographed for the school paper and worked in a one hour photo lab, a job I continued through college. After college I was unsure of what to do with my philosophy degree and turned to photography as a profession.

My name is Rachel but my good friends call me Ray. When I am not shooting you can find me in yoga pants working on the seasons latest Fashion Trends. I am an Apparel Designer by day and a Wedding and Portrait Photographer in my free time. My photography style is genuine, real and authentic. I will do anything to capture your day or moment while keeping a smile on your face. I am a natural light photographer which means I never use studio lighting. I make it simple for you, keep it light and focus on the precious candid moments that naturally occur between a couple madly in love to your growing family.
