Your Fun-Loving Family and Couples Photographer
I'm Rachel
After calling Breckenridge home for more than 15 years, I am still a lover of all things winter! When I'm not behind the camera you'll still find me spending most of my days on a snowboard or cross country skis, enjoying the endless beauty these mountains have to offer!
I have also pursed a second career in nursing. I work part time in an ICU setting and have found these two careers offer the perfect balance. At the hospital I see tragedy often and frequently see families on some of the worst days of their lives. Alternatively, photography allows me to see families that are celebrating time spent together or milestone events. I get to see the joy of children playing or love growing between couples. It is an honor to help individuals and families navigate both of these moments.
A snapshot into my life

This photo perfectly captures some of my favorite things: my husband Andrew, our dog Sherpa, and of course, snow!
Andrew and I met in 2013 while working at the same coffee shop. What started as a great friendship (and a shared love for coffee and bagel sandwiches) eventually grew into something more. When we moved into our first dog-friendly home, Sherpa joined our little family on day one, and life has been an adventure ever since.
After nearly a decade of dating, we tied the knot in 2023 and couldn’t love this mountain life we share together more!

Let’s circle back to that coffeehouse/bakery job. After spending several years covered in flour, crafting lattes, and decorating cakes, the universe played a cute joke and turns out, your girl has celiac disease!
While my days of indulging in classic pastries are behind me, my love for a good bakery lives on. Now, it’s all about the hunt for the best gluten-free goodies around. Trust me, I’ll travel far and wide for a “must-try” GF treat!
Fun fact: This cupcake is from the coffeehouse (Clints) where it all began and I will stand by the fact they have the best GF goodies I've had anywhere in the world so far!

I moved out to Breckenridge fresh out of high-school with dreams of being in the same snowboard magazines that lined the walls of my childhood bedroom.
While some dreams needed modification, my love for snowboarding has made my life out here what it is and I could not be more grateful. The days of hitting towering jumps and competing may be behind me but I'm proud to say I still aim to get on a snow about 100 days a year for the initial love that brought the dream to life!

Rachel was AMAZING!!! My family and I came to Colorado on vacation and decided to have family pictures taken with a different background than we are used to. I reached out to Rachel and set up a session during our stay. She was able to suggest the best time of day for us to get the pictures.
My Florida boys are not used to the cold and she was wise and wonderful and planned ahead and brought blankets to use in between shots. I have gotten such positive feedback from the few pictures I posted. I'm extremely happy that Rachel helped make this such a beautiful success.

Rachel was FABULOUS!! She is an incredibly talented photographer and captured our relationship and celebration so beautifully. She is great at directing and giving suggestions for where to put hands or how to make small adjustments with your body that translate into beautiful photos! Nothing forced, nothing cheesy, our photos turned out so authentic and we look natural and like we are having fun.
She was super responsive and very communicative and accommodating to my special requests and whacky ideas! She is professional and downright delightful to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!

We scheduled a family/maternity session with Rachel this fall and could not be happier with how our experience went and how the photos turned out! From the communication prior to the session to the day of, Rachel made us feel so comfortable.
She was so great at directing us and capturing our family. With a 2 year old, that isn't an easy task. He was smiling in all the photos! We would highly recommend Rachel as a photographer!

Our family was difficult to schedule a session with to say the least, and Rachel was very understanding and very communicative the whole time. Also, we had several unhappy kiddos, a couple of slow/injured walkers, and were near the bottom of a ski hill where skiers and snowboarders would sometimes race through the area we were posing in. The whole time she was patient and adaptable to whatever we needed. Not to mention our pictures turned out fantastic!
She was a joy to work with and we highly recommend her to anyone searching online for a photographer- including people who, like us, don’t live in the area!
