Have you ever looked into the backseat at your little one and thought "When did you get so big?!". You wake up one morning and realize their "baby face" is gone. They toddle down the hall and their legs have slimmed up and their thigh rolls are almost gone. They don't cling to your leg whenever you enter a new place with strange, new people. These are the things and the little moments you don't even realize you are going to miss. Cherish them now, mama. Let's capture your baby just the way they are. They won't be like this for long.
My goal is to provide you with timeless photos that put a smile on your face. Making you feel completely comfortable in your skin and capturing all of the little details are always my top priority.

more about Rachel
some fun facts
i am a boy mom x 3, so obviously i thrive in chaos. we love to play outside in the sunshine, find bugs, ride bikes and play tag or chase.
sipping a hot cup of coffee on my couch in the mornings before my children wake up is my favorite way to start my day.
river days on the boat with my family are our favorite summer time activity. there is nothing like that wind in your hair and sand between your toes.

First family session as a family of five and we could not have asked for a better time! Rachel was so patient and worked with poses to fit our family. She had an amazing turn around time on proofs and we can not wait to book another session!

Girl. These photos! You made me cry. I really didn’t think photos could capture just how we feel about our Little man. They are so brautiful. I don’t think we have ever had pictures taken so well. You’ve got a life long customer. Thank you soooo much. I can’t wait for you to take pictured for us next time. You are talented!

What's up, y'all? Rachel here! Family, newborn + motherhood photographer covering areas all over the gulf coast with a home based studio right outside of Bay Minette, Alabama.
I am just your average mama, striving to be a Godly woman, a loving spouse + raise good human beings (sounds simple, but man it's hard sometimes).
Sometimes life can feel really overwhelming with all of the social media pressures to be this "Instagram version" family. I am here to tell you that I believe in embracing families in whatever phase of life they are in. It may feel chaotic (because, let's be real....some days it is) and it may not feel glamorous, but one day you will look back on these exact moments that I have captured for you, frozen in time + be so grateful that you have a photo of your toddler's ringlet, baby curls before their first haircut or your son's twinkling blue eyes that shine with curiosity and innocence.
Babies don't keep and they will be grown and gone before you know it. So, soak those little moments in, mama, before they pass all too quickly. It won't be like this for long.
Just like you, my family is my number one priority. My husband, blaine, and our boys, braxton, charlie + max, are my world.
This is why I'm here...
Let's get you booked!
