ABOUT RACHEL

Historian Turned Fine Art Photographer with an Affinity for Southern Elegance, City Chic Style, and Preserving Memories

My love for photography started at a young age when I would pore over family albums on my grandma’s book shelf. Although they were very much off limits, I was captivated by the film photographs of generations that came before me. Situated beside an heirloom tobacco jar, in some ways those albums were the only memories I had left of loved ones. It was there I realized the importance of photography and my own nostalgic, sentimental nature.

From my days as a student of history working in the archives of UNC's North Carolina Collection, to a data analyst with an emphasis on records management, I’ve always had a penchant for documentation and lineage. That's what drives my passion to create beautiful, timeless heirlooms for you and your family. 

As a native North Carolinian who lived in the heart of Washington, DC for ten years, my photography is shaped by timeless and classic style that marries southern elegance and chic city sophistication. Always fun-loving, I believe in celebrating all of life’s big and little occasions – especially with a glass of bubbles in hand. My laid-back, approachable demeanor is like a warm hug there to guide you through your wedding day, while my observant eye and thoughtful nature are there to capture your memories as they unfold.
