Oh hey — you found it. Welcome in, sweet friend.

This place is for the ones who cry at sunsets and dance in the rain. Who splash in the ocean fully clothed and feel zero regret. Who lay on open roads staring at the stars thinking this — this is it. Who pick wildflowers on the way home just because the kitchen needed something alive in it.

Come in, hang something on the wall, pour yourself something good, and tell me everything. The adventures, the love stories, the ordinary Tuesday mornings that somehow felt like magic. All of it belongs here. All of you belongs here.

  • 10/10 elopement experience: Rachel is the best!

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Rachel as our elopement photographer! I’m not a fan of being in front of a camera, but she made us feel so comfortable from the very beginning. I was worried the day would feel more like a photoshoot than an elopement, but Rachel brought the magic so my husband and I could enjoy every moment. Our elopement album is incredible and exceeded all of our expectations. We can’t recommend Rachel enough to anyone looking for a talented photographer who genuinely cares about her clients. Thank you, Rachel, for making our day unforgettable!

  • The person I trust with all Life milestones!

    Rachel has done some unbelievable work! She cares so much about telling your life and your story through the photos. She has taken my college graduation photos, engagement photos, and she was our wedding photographer. I can say I trust her more than any other photographer I've worked with. She really listens to the vision you want. I never feel anxious or rushed during her photo sessions. She is also unbelievably quick about getting the pictures back to you or communicating about delays. I can't wait to book our anniversary pictures and so many more life milestones with Rachel!

  • Stunning!

    We had the best experience with Rachel and her husband! They were professional, friendly, and handled our crazy friends and family in stride. They made two awkward people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and our photos are truly stunning.

  • More than just photos

    Rachel’s photography is nothing short of breathtaking. She didn’t just take photos of our Airbnb—she captured its soul. Every image evokes a feeling, a mood, the exact sense of peace and wonder we want our guests to experience when they step inside. Her work is more than photography; it’s storytelling. The way she plays with light, composition, and emotion results in photos that are both stunning and deeply moving. Anyone who has the privilege of working with Rachel will walk away inspired and in awe of her talent!

  • Can't Recommend Enough!

    We used R Photos (Rachel) for our elopement last May in the Smokies. This was the best decision ever-- we didn't have to worry about a thing! The real star of the show was Rachel, the way she made us feel, and the beautiful pictures she took that captured the most magical day! If we had to do it all over again, we would choose R Photo's elopement package again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Rachel, for your help making our elopement day the best day ever for us!

  • Five Stars isn’t even enough!

    Really & truly cannot say enough about Rachel. She has been phenomenal to work with for our elopement - everything from the initial consult to answering my 10,000 questions to the gorgeous photos and planning everything. I remember telling her on the phone the first time we spoke “I really just want to show up and get married and not have to worry about anything else,” and she truly made this a reality. If I could do it all over again, there isn’t one thing I would change. Not to mention the photos are BEAUTIFUL. Truly a work of art from one of the sweetest people we’ve ever met. Thankful would be an understatement!

  • Incredible work

    I cannot even begin to describe how happy I am with our photos! Everything ran so smooth and communication was perfect. The photos are absolutely stunning and I will be able to treasure the moments forever through her beautiful work. Besides the amazing photography and elopement planning Rachel is an absolute JOY to work with, she’s professional but so sweet and made us feel like she was a part of the family for the day. Thank you again!
