THE RDP EXPERIENCE
You deserve a unique, tailored approach to your story. The goal during our time together for each and every session is to capture YOU and your story to the fullest. Whether that be hiking up a mountain, running into the ocean, exploring a new city, or even just cozying up on the couch. I am here to capture you and the ones you love anywhere in the world!
How does the process work?
1. We Chat
Together we go over every detail of your session, what style you’re going for, your vision, location ideas, and time of year. You’ll also be provided a guide packed full of information about how I work and what to expect when working with me.
2. Booking
You’re ready to commit to booking the BEST third wheel everrr, I’ll send over the direct link to book, go over the contract, and pay the retainer. Once paid, you are officially on my calendar and will immediately receive a confirmation email as well as a detailed style guide to help you choose the most perfect outfits for your session.
3. The Big Day
The day of your session all you need to do is show up and be your beautiful self! I will guide you the entire time and give you fun prompts like “jump on ___ back, now ___ pretend to try to buck them off!” We use lotsss of movement during my shoots, there will never be a time that you have the “omg what do I do with my hands moment” or awkward prom pose.
4. The Reveal
After just 3-4 short weeks you will receive your “proofing gallery” containing all of the BEST images from your session that perfectly embody your candid moments and the little details of your relationship. From here, you’ll get to select all of your favorite images that you feel capture you and your story best!
"Hands down the best photographer I've ever worked with"
Skylar
Hands down the best photographer I've ever worked with! Rachel is so cute and so relatable! She made our session so easy by telling us exactly how to pose. She also pulled off the best surprise of my boyfriend proposing during the photoshoot and captured it on video for us too! We paid for a one hour session, but she played music and took photos until the sun went down. She took us to several different locations, truly putting her clients first! Every single photo is unbelievable.

When should I book my session?
I take bookings up to a year in advance and I only take on a limited number of sessions per year. I recommend booking a minimum of 3 months in advance to ensure you’ll get the date that is perfect for you.
Do you offer weekday pricing?
Yes! All packages are $100 off on weekday sessions.
Do you travel?
Yes, I LOVE to travel, I have been all over the world! I am available to shoot anywhere that your heart desires. Just shoot me a message!
Do you offer military discounts?
No I do not however, I do offer $100 off of any package on Weekday sessions.
Do you shoot weddings?
I offer limited availability for intimate weddings and elopements every year! (Intimate weddings include weddings 20< guests.) I do not offer packages or shoot for traditional/large weddings.
Do I need to pay up front?
Yes! In order to reserve your special day, I require a $99 retainer to be paid. (This goes towards the full balance.)
Will you help me pose?
OF COURSE! Absolutely I will help you pose. My style and the experience that I strive to around your session is authentically you and natural. Rather than the old school prom pose (or maybe the awkwardddd 90s photos HAHAHA), I implement prompts. For example, I might tell you to run up and give your partner a big ole bear hug while attacking them with kisses. These kinds of prompts create wildly in love, natural posing. And let’s be honest, this way is soooo much more fun!!
Will you edit my body?
I do not alter my clients bodies in any way! If that is something you are looking for, I am not the photographer for you.
Of course, I will work my skills and get you the most pleasing and flattering angle but I do not photoshop my clients bodies to make you skinnier, changing the colors of your clothing, adding in someone who wasn't at your shoot, etc. If it is a zit or crazy bruise that just popped up and something that is temporary I will do my best to edit that for you.
What is extensive editiing?
Extensive editing requests are but not limited to; editing of clothing, face swaps, background changes, removing/adding family members, and is subject to additional fee if requested.
